I think a strong ,common drive amongst us is the one to 'build for me' instead of settle for something 'built for many'. Before buying my first Porsche I spent 12 years restoring and customizing 2 vehicles and I know the feeling of driving something I built myself -knowing wrench sizes by memory ,knowing the best OEM mods from other years and ways to do things most economicly. But I've grown weary and have come to realize that Porsche and BMW can do it better than I can. I want a Spyder, TT or GT3. Add coilovers and wam I'm done! I understand the urge to 'build your own' and all I can say is GO FOR IT!
And, buying my 986 S was the most satisfying purchase I've made.
