How did you get into Porsches?

I guess Im the only one that bought the Porshe Challenge Racing game. Back in 1997 they made a Boxster racing game for the Sony Playstation. Always like the 911 but on the game there was a engineer that went over the specifics of the Boxster and the award winning design. Played that game many times so it stuck with me. So to continue the racing, I bought one.

Oddly my Boxster origins are with a '94 Integra. I had always driven trucks, until I inherited my wife's old 'Teg that had been slated for trade-in. Who knew commuting could be fun? It was on it's last legs, so I looked for a 240SX. I couldn't find one that wasn't "riced out", so I moved on to a Miata. It felt a bit too "pedestrian", so the search went on, with the prices rising! Test drove: 350Z, RX8, Corvette (felt too big), Z3(M), M3, SLK, S2000, and finally 986/987. Only the S2000 and Boxster felt "special" to me. The Box won primarily due to trunk space,the S2 isn't much more practical than a motorcycle. I had never dreamed I could afford a Porsche, only hours of searching on cars.com led me in this direction.
