Unsuccessful Boxster S search - What do I miss out on/gain with a C5 Corvette?

[maytag]

Haha, I love the people who are saying that because we disagree we must never have driven one... hahaha.
So many internet experts around here. Haha.

Look: this really is a personal choice. If you've dialed-in on what makes a car fun to drive for you, then weigh the pros and cons and go drive one to be sure. Don't believe anybody who'll tell you there's no question which is better..... there clearly IS a question.

As I said: for me, between the two cars, the C5 takes 5th place.

Ha!
Lemme think..... the comment was more of a "it doesn't even register..." sort of thing.
But if pressed, sub-$20k sports cars, I'd probably fill-out the other 3 with an R52S (supercharged mini cooper), maybe a subie sti or a 370z. An SLK is on the list for sure, but they're tough to find with the big motor and a manual trans. I love the Saturn sky, but it'd need a little love to get it where I want it.

Truth: right now, if I were gonna spend $15k on a car and it can't be a boxster, well, I'd build me a monster of a fiat spider, or an LS powered miata.

But I've got 7 cars floating around my place right now, with 3 drivers in the house. I'm outta room, haha.

Yesterday, when my wife told me she wants another old-skool amigo like the one I built for her 10 years ago, I asked her how many cars she thinks she wants at any given time. Her reply: "all of them. All of the cars."
I'm a very lucky man indeed. ;-)
