Too expensive, boxster hardtops, girls car....I'm guilty as the rest. I had the fortune to run against some at the Glen a few weeks ago and I feel quite different about them. They are very fast. I consider myself a decent driver and can drive, what I feel, is close to the limit, out of my car. I saw this car coming up on me, pass me, and then out of my view within a lap of the Glen. It's then when you realize you are driving a 25 year old car. Still love my car and don't feel the need to spend $60k on a track toy. The car can flat out handle. Don't know what the experience is behind the wheel though.

What a great attitude. My wife is like that. Too bad my bank account is not quite as supportive. But mebbe a $50 raffle ticket...?

I'm just hoping the Caymans depreciate the way the Boxsters do -- that way I'll be able to afford one a lot sooner!
