I'm younger (people tell me this, I don't feel that way) at 27, had my box for 2 years now. However Porsches have always been my dream car. The boxster was my dream car from a young age followed closely by the 2000 Carrera 4 when it came out.

So despite the high maintenance costs I'm just too infatuated with Porsches to own anything else, especially now that I've owned one. I love the look, the engineering behind them, everything. As such, I could never desecrate one like it was a Honda del sol. Don't get that and never will.
