Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Pluck, I'm with you that you've moved heavily into the "want and desire" side of the equation!

Yup, Whart, I think a 993 cab would do it for me, too. Great car. What do you think of the 997?

A new GT3 would be happenin'. The RS version is a bit of a rip-off stateside, given that all the goodies have to be done aftermarket. I had a 996 GT2, set up with all the goods, which was an animal, but honestly, it lacked the charisma of the older Porsches. The 993 and earlier platforms are, in my estimation, the ticket, even though the real RS cars are, like today, largely non-US,Euro models.
To me, despite the fact that Porsche has gone water-cooled, built an SUV, and now threatens to introduce a sedan, it is a company to be admired. The cars are fun to drive, competitive as racing tools, largely bulletproof, and far more reasonable, used or new, than comparable cars from other manufacturers. Granted, the Porsches do not have the 'panache' of a Ferrari, but having owned 6 Ferraris, I could care less.

1. '04 BMW M3, 05 honda S2000
2. Porsche Cayman S
3. Porsche 911 Turbo

If I was going to get a sports car it would be a Maserati or a Lotus.

I drive a 2006 Mazda 6i. I really like the way it handles and there's lots of tweaks for it as well. Don't see anything in the near future but if money were no object my car would be a Corvette.
