Im boring too. My wife and I have been married 17 years and have had over 30 cars...but some of those were my toys. I am a Honda guy. Daily is an 07 accord with a big v6 and my wife drives a pilot. With all my toys though, I must say...my 89 944 turbo has got to be the most enjoyable and absolutely the most comfortable ride i have ever experienced. I loved my boxsters, loved them...but this 944 turbo is really something. When my kids are older, I will buy another and use as a daily. In Florida, we can get away with that kind of thing year round!

That buzz will wear off. And then you'll be in the 981S Cayman.
I just saw a black one with these gun metal wheels, tinted windows. That car looked subtle and sinister. and it had the PERFECT proportions for a Porsche. It's the driver's car in tin top form. If I had to have Pcar with a fixed roof, that would be my no-brainer.

I hope it doesn't wear off! And a Cayman S...absolutely. That would be my go to for a refined sports car! The Porsche turbo (in my case an 89 with all the turbo S upgrades from 88) is just plain cool. And for cheap (in Pcar terms or compared to a boxster maintenance program) you can build these to 400hp with very little work. I just love it...

Dream garage for me would be all the best 2 seat open roof Porsches. 550 on one end 918 on the other. Carrera gt and such in between.

That's a cool one. Looks well-maintained. I've seen a ton of not so well maintained. In fact there's two things I can always count on seeing at my Indy's shop: Old tires in the back and a 944 in for repairs.
When I was a lot younger I always though the 944 and 928 had modern, forward-looking designs. Whereas the Carrera just seemed too VW to me, especially the round lights. The first time I saw a mettalic blue slant nose in the flesh I thought "that's it!! that's the Carrera that will never be mistaken for a Beetle! I always thought there was a little 944 spirit in it:
