Be careful. I always wanted a Porsche. One day I decided I'd buy just one. I liked it. A few months later, another opportunity came up and I got another one. A few months later....umm...well the list of cars below is currently accurate as of this moment. I have a feeling in a few months, I'll have to tack a few more on.

In all honesty, both of my 986s are probably more fun to drive than the rest of cars I have. That includes the 997. Not as much power...but the car just feels a bit more nimble and planted than the 997. You can snag a good 986 for about $10K, give or take a few thousand depending on condition. That's half the price of a Camry and twice as much fun to drive. If you don't like it, you can sell it for not that much less than you paid for it.

As a word of advice, if you put back $2K-$3K for possible future repair expenses, it'll make owning it more pleasant. Generally you won't need to drop that kind of money, but at least you won't worry about replacing a clutch if it's needed.
