I will not sell my Porsches now to try another Marque.
One more thing on the Ferrari, a friend who was has considerably more means than I ( I have been a Mechanic for most of my working life) said after driving my car " I really like your Ferrari, I just can not afford to own one"
That is when I decided to stop the bleeding and sell it, it was Like a high maintence girl friend, fun but you pay and pay.
I started saving up for a Ferrari when I was 15(Aim of purchase in my mid 30's). By the time I was 25 I realized, I really, really, like my 80's Porsche's. My only problem is I don't fit comfortably, something I didn't realize until last year. Getting a larger car got rid of regular back pain.

Custom foamed, or framed + foamed seats will probably be in one of the 944's future. Most of the appeal of a Ferrari is the amazing engine sound. I still wouldn't say I don't want one; just I wouldn't sacrifice anything else in life for a Ferrari. Car's are much more enjoyable, when you can straight up replace it should something bad happen to it. As a teenager, I didn't realize this. As an adult, I realize I should have the amount easily at hand to replace whatever vehicle I'm driving. It takes a lot of stress out of life.
