Maybe the allure of owning a "real" Porsche or "911" may have played some part in the purchase, but at the end of the day who really gives a $#i| about what other people think. This is partly why I made the purchase in the first place, hence the regret!!
Of course the "it's a girl's car" comment doesn't much bother me. After all, I have owned four (all 3 models) MX5/Miata's

My plan is to keep if for another month, iron out any residual bugs, and see if it grows on me. Of course the whole 4 cars with only a 3 car garage and 2 driving adults is driving my wife crazy. There is some motivation in that...
Wow, I feel your disappointment. I often think about getting a 911- preferably a GT3, but then when I get in and DRIVE my car, I fall in love all over again! Really. For me it's all about how it drives. I did recently drive a 997 base, tip and it felt absolutely pedestrian to me. I was surprised and disappointed. Then I hopped in my Row030 sprung S and was truly blissed again. For now, I've got the right car for ME. As Joseph Campbell said, follow your bliss! Sounds like you're not ready for a grand tourer, yet.
