OMFG........... Ya'll have got to be kidding me. Consumer Reports yes i said it, read it again; is high on the Boxster / Cayman platform and Porsche as a whole from the 997 generation and above.

Ram keep in mind the upkeep will eat into your disposable income but as a DD a low mileage, pre-owned Cayman S will serve you well. i would suggest an old Ford F-150 for the rough weather days.

and when i say old i mean pre '90s. ie........ http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Overview-c ... F-150.html

it isn't so much the sacrifice as it is the pleasure of knowing you have a back-up plan. :twisted:

993s are starting to reach investment level pricing yohe. widebody 993? who wouldn't want one? i surely do.

but the truth is......... the old analogy ended with the 997.

that analogy being "want to drive a Porsche everyday? buy two". :)

If you are going to get a porch, at least get a real porch. And you bought a Z that's an Automatic..... :stick: :? No wonder you drive a hairdresser's car.

It isn't a 911 and it isn't air cooled.

Edit...and I say that will tongue firmly planted in cheek. I am _not_ one of those purists.
