I'd like to drive one some time, to see how much difference there is
in handling between the Porsche and a BMW.
Funny you should mention that ....
Back in the spring of 05 I got a post card from Porsche, inviting me to any
Porsche dealer to drive any Porsche I desired. I chose the Boxster cause I
had heard some great things and it was relatively within my reach -
financially.
Well after an hour test drive I was thoroughly impressed, so much so that I
instantly went from curious to intent. Took the wife for a ride and she
NUDGED me on to get one ! I talked a little more seriously with the sales
guy (a really great car guy who never tried to sell me a thing - he let the
car sell itself). Reading me correctly, he actually told me of some things
not to put on the car. I then ordered a new 05 'S' to be built in Finland &
presto about 3 months later my Seal Grey Boxster S ( built to my specs,
(including 19" wheels/tires, wind blocker & floor mats) magically appeared
in the driveway.
I bet if you went to your local dealer, you could easily get a demo drive !

I this is the hardest thing to convey to anyone who just thinks a car
has four wheels and gets you from point a to point b. Porsche make
drivers cars straight off the factory floor, I wish I still was able
to afford one (or two as used to be the case).

Of course what I'd really like is to persuade somebody I know, albeit
only casually, to let me loose on his stable. He's got a Ferrari, a
Lamborghini, and a Bugatti Veyron. I suspect they're pretty nice, too.
