it's funny how my view of Porsche has changed in the last decade. When I first saw the 996 Turbo my first thought was that you could park that next to a Ferrari all day long.

Now I think, a Porsche turbo out of warranty? Pass.
PDK out of warranty? No thanks already ate.
Center lock wheels that have be serviced every 40K miles? Maybe next time.
PCCB? swap in the old school ones and we have a deal!
996/997/991 Carrera Turbo depreciation that could buy a used 997 outright? still a b1tch..

I don't have nearly the romantic view of high end Porsche cars that I once did.
These days it seems more like a liability/money pit.
