I may be speaking out of place as a newbie, but I don't see the problem with the thread. There are cars that I would like to drive, and others that I could afford, but I think that for my stage in life, my car is about perfect.

Who on this list hasn't thought of the "great 'what if'?" at some point? I know that as a kid, I used to spend hours dreaming of different cars. It seems like an honest question to pose to us as a group. I can understand thinking that the users are better served by more technical posts, but I don't think there's anyone on this board that can honestly say they're bitter at having to drive their current ride. Anyone here could have gone out and bought a used escort or volkswagen, and probably saved some money. Come on, we're here because:

A. We have Porsches. Not bad!

B. We love cars. Also not bad.

Porsches have inspired fantasies and daydreams since they were first made. I still wonder about what car I'll get when I "grow up." More and more, I think I'll probably keep mine for a very long time. That being said, I still think about different cars, and if wanting that next C4S or 73 RS makes you work harder to get it, then by all means it's a great thing to have that desire.

I hope I don't offend anyone. It just seemed a little extreme to go off on BigB for posing a question that has most likely crossed everyone's mind at least once.

That's my .02. Or at this point, my $14.99. Here's hoping everyone loves their car and ends up in the ride of their dreams at some point along the way.
