For me, it was because I had lost the love for driving that I had as a kid, and was looking to see if I could find that again. I remember when I first got my licence, I couldn't stop driving - I'd find places to go to, just so that I could enjoy that feeling of driving some more.
That feeling had been sorely missed over the years. With my Boxster I've got back that feeling, and whenever I think about where I have to go to, it makes me smile and brings back the great memories of just driving, and enjoying the journey.
What about you guys/girls, why did you?
Cheers
