I can afford any car Porsche makes

So why do I have a '01 Boxster S?

Because the car is a better car than I am a driver.

Because it is out of warranty so I don't feel bad working on it myself. (and because others have blazed the trail ahead of me and documented how to do things where the 987s are still largely going to the dealers.)

Because it is not so powerful I'm liable to get in trouble.

Because I love driving with the top down...even if my wife doesn't.

Because it still gets a complement every time I drive it from someone...and some of them are SYTs.

Because I can have 97.324% of the fun for so much less cost.

Because daddy told me don't put your real money in depreciating assets and cars are one of those.

Is the 987 a better car? Sure is. Will the 2009.5 be still better? Yep.

But the 986 is good enough.

I don't have to have the biggest, newest ....
