The first sports car I bought (1990 Miata, used for $2000) was a big thrill. I wish I still had it sometimes, but I tell myself I can only drive one at a time. I like my Boxster more than the Miata, but for me the thrill diminishes after a while and I don't think I would be happier in the long run having more than one.

I do enjoy upgrading the car I have, which is probably a mental reward similar to buying another car.

That said, when my wife's Highlander dies, I will strongly suggest that she look at used Macans before we buy another Toyota. Porsches are just more thrilling.

Everyone is different and what works for me might not work for everyone. Most of the people I know don't own Porsches. Many of them seem perfectly happy to me. Maybe not as happy as Boxster owners, but it's their loss.
