Fair enough :tup:

It all depends on the buyer's needs. I mean, there are millionaires who drive beaters around town.

But you're right. If I want whatever car bad enough, I'm going to get it. :D

I will say this:

I cross shopped, very seriously, the Cayman S and the 370Z. At my price point of "up to $65k or so" I was mainly concerned with value. I ultimately chose the 370Z even though I thought the Cayman S was the better car because the Cayman S was not worth the $30k premium over the Z to me. The Porsche brand honestly means nothing to me UNLESS IT'S A 911 because god damnit if I am buying a Porsche it's going to be a god damn 911! I love them. :)

I know I said this already, but I'll say it again. If you are in the market for a 911, you are not a value shopper. ;)

And there it is! :tup::bowrofl:

I guess if I had 100K to spend on one car, I would want to make more of a statement than the boring "exec" car. (that's totally subjective btw..) but it's true because I said it :p

Yep. I have a $20m client that drives a Civic every day, and it's not even the top model.

It's really funny how trivial all of this car stuff is when we really take a step back and think about it. Ah well, it makes us happy! :tup::driving:

I've been thinking about buying the Cayman r. I know its just a little faster and not as reliable as a z but it's something I would pay extra just for the beauty of the car. I wouldn't spend $10k more for a 911 because I think the Cayman looks better. So yes some people don't buy sports cars because its the fastest.

When you really think about it, there's no way to explain WHY you bought a certain car other than to say... because!

This is America, god damnit. We drive whatever we damn well please. :usa:

Cars are pretty trivial at the end of the day. My wife was really literally on the verge of tears when I told her I was selling my Z because I'm out of work right now... I told her it's just a car. Metal and plastic and when things turn around and the time is right, I'll get another "baby". :tup:

Please see my avatar...

whether we can afford it or not:ugh2:

Sorry to hear about the financial troubles. I'm sure it will turn around in no time - then you can hop into a new Z with a built in oil cooler! :tup:

lol yes!!!! A built in oil cooler!! WHAT A CONCEPT N I S S A N !!!!

'Murica!! We want fast cars, McMansions, and supersized processed meals because WE CAN!!! :rofl2:
