I just wanted a little something that says I've come a long way from driving a 1983 dodge colt for all the years of work I put into school and work. Seem silly to be stroking my ego I suppose but in a way, isn't that why we all own these cars? I do miss a back seat. Many times I have left my buddies on the sidewalk and taken the girl instead. (Haha!) I wish I did not have to finance the balance, but I'm not THAT successful yet! Well, for now the money is in the bank and this damn economy is still tanking so maybe prices of all things exotic will continue to fall. I'll heed the advice of the mattress bankers and save it up for now. Damn... that 911 sure looks good don't it??? And if I can get one for less than that one I found... maybe even (dare I dream) a TURBO? *pinches self* haha! Well thanks again for the input fellas. Much appreciated!

If your buddies are taller than 4 ft and you wanna give out rides then another reason to go with the M car. Can't fit more than a couple little kids in the back of a 911.

If you must ... pick up a new Kia for $12 or the Nissan Versa for $10k. And put the rest under the mattress until you feel better about the economy.

In the mean time... drive the "fun" out of the Boxster.

If I had $50k to drop on a car I'd probably buy the Lotus Exige.

I've seen some used ones for around $50k.

No one said you couldn't keep your Boxster right...

I would go with a nicely worked Replica 356 Speedster... great weekender.

Secondly, I would add a 2002-2003 M3 coupe love that car.

Problem is that I am out of garage space at that point...

What to do... decisions, decisions.
