Seriously, I traded a 2000 M-Coupe for the Mini when it came out because, as you said in your original post, puttering around in second gear in a hi-performance car all day can get boring. The S fills 90% of my automotive needs. When I felt the urge for performance again I picked up a cheap 911 (78Sc) which takes care of the other 10%.

When I had my MINI Cooper S JCW - I found I could drive it really aggresive on the street and everyone would look and smile, "Hey! What a cute car!!" If I ever tried any of the crap I pulled in my MINI in my Porsche the police would be called.

I miss that MINI sometimes but I had to sell it to finance the purchase of my Porsche, it was a no brainer.

When I have my Porsche in Florida (in 3 weeks for the winter) I daily drive it and drive it every chance I get.

Florida roads are mostly boring but I find my few fun spots.

My wife cant get the smile off of my face after driving my 911. This car is soooo glued to the road and my body that I cant think of any other car I've owned that even comes close. I had muscle cars before they were "big $$$$$$", and they are, a rattle box of junk. The Porsche 911 is a fine tuned car which is realy fast, good looking, and inexpensive. It's the best of all worlds.

That's tight.

"As I approach pot holes, I wince, like someone's going to hit me with a bat."

Ha! so true! The roads here suck! Really, I have seen better in 3rd world countries.
also driving in 3mph stop-ango traffic is just not what this car was designed for...And it is not good for it.
In NYC a bicycle is faster and you get a better parking spot. Otherwise I take the VW or the M3. Subway? What subway?

The SC is great on the Taconic and beyond....
