HELP! I need someone to talk me out of this!

Someone needs to hit me over the head with a frying pan. I am falling for a 996. Every time I search them on the net, my infatuation grows. As our country slips into recession, the deals are getting very tempting. I have found more than one low-mileage 2000 996 for less than 30k. Is there any reason to not do this?

YES! I love my boxster, it is therapy for me. I drive it when tensions are high, when the weather is great, and when I have an itch for speed. I do not track the car, so I do not need anything over 90mph.

NO! I have a baby girl on the way, and one day she would like to ride in daddy's porsche, right? I need the 3.4 litre engine so I can speed up to 45 mph faster than the minivan next to me, right?

I actually called about one 2000 996 that I saw for sale locally and it sold for 25k before I got them on the line! That's incredible. I went to my garage and started the boxster, it made me forget about it. Until I was looking at sema pics and saw a gt3 from the show. AHHHHHH!
