I always wanted a well made, beautiful and superbly handling high performance car. However, until last year, I had more pressing concerns. Ridiculous school loans, mortgage, kids, retirement, food.... etc. etc. When I felt that finally I could slow down a little from my work and have my finances under control... I bought it. Everytime I sit in it, instant smile.
Lil Bastard - No wonder you know so much about cars. Your list of cars just goes on and on. How did you afford them all? You seem to be a hands on guy and not a silver spoon inheritance guy. Just curious.
mchi5 - gotta be careful my man. Interesting thread but remember, life goes by pretty fast. Guys you think that are old and past their prime will be you soon enough. My good friend who races motorcycles is in his late 40's and he is in better shape than I ever was in my early 20's.

Oh, come on! You put off getting your Boxster because you just wanted to eat? You've got to make sacrifices. I eat only ramen and live in my parents' house. (Just kidding.)
But seriously, we do get "old" before we know it. I used to look at guys that were in their 40s or 50s and think they were old farts. Now I often look at them and wonder if they are single. Guess they aren't old farts anymore. Scary how fast lift flies by.
And btw, I had a 944 when I was 16, so I guess if the Boxster had been out I'd have had that instead. I ended up having to sell it when I moved away and no longer had my dad to help me maintain it. I always wanted another P-car but never had the opportunity until now.
