But, that's why you buy a Porsche. It's a "practical" sports car.[/quote]
True, def a better option for daily driving, reliability, usability, and to be able to park relatively anywhere. However, the price of used F430s and Gallardos are now at or below new 911 prices, and 911s, as good as they are, are a dime a dozen (partly why they are so practical, and you won't be harassed everywhere you go with it). The Ferrari or Gallardo, however, I think provide an aural, visual, and attention grabbing experience that most Porsches (other than prob a CGT or 918) can't deliver. It's one item on my bucket list one day. I've driven several 911s, including a GT3, and while they were all great, none excites me the point of having to have one. The Boxster, while underpowered (well, at least the early ones like mine), provide almost as much driving enjoyment as a 911 IMO. In contrast, I see and hear a Ferrari or Lambo at a cars and coffee event, and I drool. And don't get me wrong...I do love Pcars,...just that I want to try the Fcar too one day! :)
