Ugh. I drove a 02 Turbo

While in Chino, CA on vacation, a friend of my brother pulls up in a speed yellow 02 turbo carrera and tosses me the key.

Drove it up and down the business street close by and started to drool all over his leather dash, great instrumentation, and nearly complete lack of turbo lag. Fluid acceleration straight through all four of the six gears I got to play with for those brief minutes.

Absolutely hated the short shifter he said he paid big $$ to have installed at the dealership two weeks prior. Too notchy and hard to get into gear. Loved everything else though! It had 8600 miles on it.

Then I had to get back into my 2.5 liter, normally aspirated boxster and whimper down the road for the rest of my driving vacation.

Very sweet. I might just have to buy one one day when a relative dies and leaves me $$$ (since I don't play the lottery).
