Steve why do you always have to state that you "could get one" in like every other expensive car thread? I never wanted to call it out, but this is like the 100th time i've seen it and just had to say something.. 101st time it's been "I could have bought a porsche/I can buy a porsche" too.. We know already

They won't be as luxurious as the Boxster but I'll sleep better at night.
On topic, go look how much used Cayman's are... It's shocking how much they depreciate and even more shocking as to how many used ones are out there. It's crazy

I'm not being vain or anything. There's a group of us here that are addicted to buy cars (see the Automobiles Anonymous thread) and we use this forum to try and talk ourselves out of doing something stupid. So when I say, "I *could* get a 911, but..." it just reinforces to me that I *can't* get one because I'd have to give up every other interest of mine and then live with a car payment that could very well be rent... or go towards a house... and I'd effectively be working just to pay for a car. I don't think I'm the only person here that does that (openly talks about future cars... and talks themselves out of it).

It's important therapy because there are a lot of us that will price out cars that we really shouldn't be pricing out... and maybe we're mentally unstable enough to actually go out and make a pretty bad financial decision.

ok i'll give you that, well said. I've had 6 cars and im only in my 20's... if I didn't buy all of those and just saved or cut out other things, I could buy one too. I see what you're saying; well put.


Plus it's just a web forum :P
