People at work make it seem like I'm either rich or overstepping my bounds, but bottom line is I'll trade 6 years of age for that kind of performance and driving enjoyment, the money is about the same. Sure, maintenance is slightly higher, but do a lot yourself and you might break close to even.

Buying a porsche really doesn't seem like a budget-ruining decision, it's simply a matter of priorities. I like driving something I'm really proud of, and at the end of the day regardless of how much I do actually make, driving a porsche makes me feel like a million bucks, so I say just do it!

Hi,

That's maybe the most honest expression of someone buying a Porsche that I've ever heard. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
