Would you consider the cayman S? Assuming if you will, that when you say you want power and handling, you'd be open to a hardtop. As much as I love my Boxster, I would have been a Cayman customer in a heartbeat if the price was right (I love having a convertible, but I'm completely blown away by the Cayman's growl and grip!!!). That being said, unless hospitals start paying residents like real doctors and not pond scum, I'll be (gladly) hanging on to my Boxster for a lotta fun-filled years!!!

Have fun discovering your next four-wheeled rocket!!!!

Maybe you should start playing the role of a "resident" on the hit series "Grays Anatomy".

How much does Pond Scum make, anyway?

I actually used to joke that I was going to med school strictly to play a doctor on TV - life would great if we're as it's depicted on Gray's Anatomy - I think in the 70's all that sex was taking place in hospitals!!!!

Pond scum (if you take into account the 80+ hrs/week) make a little more an hour than your friendly golden arches employee - but we usually get free scrubs, at least one free meal when on call and a pager!!!

During my obsessive researching prior to purchasing my 986, I read a quote from a road test that said something like, "sure, there are other cars within this price range, just don't try to convince yourself that you'll be getting something "just as good"."

I think that's a pretty powerful and true statement.

What should you get? If I were in your situation, I would look for a used 911 (circa 1999+). There are some pretty reasonable deals out there. I love my 986, but I'll probably upgrade to a used 911 for more leg room. And I guess the Hp increase would be okay...
