Anything new brings with it a certain amount of apprehension. Giving up my practical, sensible Volvo in exchange for a totally alien-to-me and fairly exotic Porsche Cayman was somewhat nerve wracking. From picking the actual example to negotiating the price to having a mechanic inspect the car, all of this done out of state, I wasn't all that confident. Add to that the fact it isn't the average car for a guy with a bad back. The primary motivation for this change was a desire for fun, to add excitement to my days. I wanted a car that was as much an experience as transportation.
After little more than a week of living with this car I can say with supreme confidence that I made the best choice available to me. I get excited anytime I have anywhere to go. The most mundane errand becomes a wild ride. I actually look for reasons to go places. The Volvo, while practical, did nothing to bring joy to my days. The Porsche is special in a way I can't put into words. Each time i see it in my driveway i smile. I know that it's just a car, but it isn't. In my search for things to look forward to, this car is exactly what the doctor ordered and then some. Getting in and out is a bit awkward, but so fucking what!! It's totally worth the price of admission!! The aesthetics, the handling, the quality of the build, the brilliant, beautiful sound... It's far more fun than I ever anticipated. Should the opportunity present itself, drive one and you'll see what I mean. I'm not much of a car guy, or rather I wasn't much of a car guy, but now I'm a Porsche fan! Awesome fun!!
