This is your answer. You have to the get the Porsche. If you buy the Honda, while probably being a smarter economic decision, you will always look fondly at other Porsches you meet on the road. You will always wonder what it would have been like. I doubt that if you buy the Porsche, you will sit around and wax poetic about what life would have been like with the Honda (well maybe you will when you are paying for maintenance
).
I knew very early in my relationship with my wife that I needed to spend the rest of my life with her. Getting behind the wheel of the Porsche gives me a similar feeling. I had other cars before, only to sell them after years or months because I knew it wasn’t the perfect car (like former relationships with old girlfriends?).
When you know it’s right, you know it. Buy the Porsche. It will probably give you a headache or two that you won’t experience with the Honda, but it will give you more enjoyment, and when you are 75 years old, you can look back and say “yeah, I used to have a 986S. That was quite a car.” As opposed to, “boy I sure am glad I based my vehicular decisions on slight economic advantages rather than what I really wanted.”
