Would love to have a BMW Z8.Such a beautiful design. Then there's the NSX. Both out of my price range and I wanted something I could work on. Seriously looked at Honda 2000S but hard to find a good one. It was too small as was a Miata. I'M 6'3 235. Solstice and Skye were interesting coupes but my wife said she would divorce me if I got one. A 2000 Boxster was at the local Porsche dealer as a trade in. Just sat in it and listened to the engine and was hooked. A guy trading in a Miata beat me to it. Looked around on-line and found a low mileage 2002S in Texas. Always liked Porsche 911's but the mid engine had greater appeal. Absolutely no regrets.
