I just bought a 996 after my Boxster was totaled. http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/44227-986-wrecked-got-996-today.html

I have always wanted a 911 and now I am able to check that box. With that being said, the Boxster is a better sports car (meaning the best handling and pure driving fun and excitement) than the 996 and that's why I am building a Boxster race car. However, the 996 (or any 911) gets 100x more respect than the Boxster. It shouldn't be that way, but it is.

So, at the end of the day, I'll own both and have the best of everything - except I drove a 964 recently and it sure would be cool to own a classic 911........(I suppose the yearning never ends).
