Do I need a Garage?

[aeb105]

You guys are great. This forum rocks! It is a scary prospect for me to just jump into something. I think I will keep my Mazda Protege(104,000m) for winter and inclement weather driving. I will have that paid off in January. My whole thing about getting a new car, (besides the price) is that I am not impressed with anything at all around on the market today except Nissan 350Z and the more prestigous, renowned and better handling Porsche Boxster. I test drove both and although the Z has more get up, it doesn't have that awesome heavy control feel that the Boxster has. My friend has a Z and is trying to convince me, telling me the Z beats the Boxster in races. After driving both, Porsche has my vote hands down. Anyway the Z stole Porsches' body style as do half of the other cars on the market. But as the saying goes "Porsche, there is no other". Thanks for all your help and quick responses. It feels good to be able to get all the facts from people who have been there and done that.
