That vid was really cool. I wish these cars weren't as expensive as they are.

Older Porsche's are pretty reasonable but you need to be mechanically inclined or have a good mechanic.

They require alot of attention, definitely more than a Japanese vehicle of the same year.

You need some deep pockets for the newer models too.
