Nice car!!! Nice choice as well. Dark grey 911 is my dream car. Dark grey Boxster is my interim dream car. But truth is, I wouldn't enjoy it or use it 5% as much as a pinball arcade, and neither would my friends...
But check this story out...
I was gonna buy a Porsche Boxster last summer, and instead of checking out a car I wanted on CL, I went to a pin expo, and the rest is history -- I built an arcade instead.
I made my decision based on several points:
1) friends will enjoy pinball machines more
2) I would only drive the Porsche occasionally on weekends (when it's sunny out!) -- terrified of door dings parking it in the city...
3) cars depreciate like crazy
4) pinball machines appreciate
Arcade > Porsche.
Of course, my ideal is to have both, but I don't think that would have happened... Porsches are sooo expensive to maintain. I would have set aside a nest egg to just be ready for the first shop visit, leaving me little for a first pinball machine.
A porsche? Someday... someday... enjoy that thing for me!
For now, I'll stick with the arcade...
