To add on to Lil B's rant, Ferrari as most of you know just made a new 4 door. The realities of car making dictate a certain volume of production. Even if Porsche owned the sports car niche, it's not enough, hence the Cayenne and now Ferrari sedans. Hopefully, we won't be treated to a Lamborghini SUV anytime soon.

As for "back to the thread". After a visit to the doctor, I have determined I should drive a Ferrari as it's always been a bucket list wish, not own one, drive one. I know you can do it in Vegas but it's ludicrous expensive, then again I didn't expect it was going to be a cheap outing.. Old machines are cool, I'd love to have my first Fiat 500 or 850 coupe. I can relate to Lil B liking that 911 all day, I get it completely. The Fiat 124 can't win a race against anyone (well except a classic MG) but it's still an unbelievable blast to drive, really good fun with about 28 mpg.

If you think about it, every car has a personality. Some are more obvious than others and some will appeal to each driver more than others. I thoroughly appreciate early air pumper Porsches all the way back to 1948. "Visceral" is a term often used t describe them and is pretty accurate. The Boxster I would describe as "balanced joy" and that is the right fun car for me these days. My wife's Lexus is "Almost perfect in every way... and boring to the point of tears". She loves it and it is her second one.

The trick is matching your cars personality to your needs. To each his/her own.
