Yeah, I'm doing 7 laps in the GTR. As far as ever owning one, I've got it all mapped out:
My wife and I don't plan on having kids any time soon. If we do, I'll have to sell the Z. GTR is the logical choice. Brand loyalty discount, four seats, all wheel drive (which isn't available on any other Nissan "sedan", and it's good for snow, right?), legitimate trunk, automatic. Totally sensible, mom-friendly car. After we buy the car, we just auction off the kid to cover the insurance. Done. Everyone wins. No baby puke or juice spilled all over the back seat.
Yeah, I know Porsches are great machines, they've just never really been my speed. If someone threw me a key I wouldn't turn it down though. Even the new Boxster is supposed to be fantastic, but Porsche won't let it maximize its potential because they don't want to cannibalize 911 sales.
The only female who would potentially be observing would be my wife, and she couldn't really care less what a car is all about. She'll probably stand there with her ears covered.
When we started dating she drove a 2000 Golf, and after about a year I asked her when the last time was she changed her oil. She had no idea. It had been at least several months since before we started dating. "My dad used to just do that stuff for me."
