I live on the edge of a well-heeled community and there are lots of Porsches to be seen driving past my house. I never thought that I could afford one but 3 years ago, when the Canadian dollar was at par with it's US counterpart, I noticed that there were lots of 986s for sale at very reasonable prices in California. So I figured that if I couldn't own one for a long while, I could have one for a little while!
The plan was to buy the car in Cali, drive it home to Montreal importing it into Canada, and sell it here at higher Canadian prices, paying for my road trip.
As my friends told my wife: "He'll never sell it you know"
They were right, of course!
