But in '93, I bought my first MR2 ('87 T-top, 5 spd) and then wasn't really sure I actually "needed" a 911. Then I bought a '91 MR2 turbo, and soon was sure I could still die happy, even without ever owning a 911.
I bought a 350Z on '06, but cross-shopped Caymans before I bought the Z. But for the price of the Cayman, I could have bought both a Z coupe, AND a Z roadster. Loved the Cayman, but couldn't justify the $70K+. But to me, the Boxster/Cayman is really the ultimate Porsche. (I have owned enough roadsters, so I really don't want a Boxster)
But every car junkie should some time in his life own at least 1 mid-engine car, and at least 1 turbo car. And a mid-engine turbo is the ultimate car junkie car. !

A little off topic. I used to like the MR2 way back, but then I had the more roomier 84 Celica coupe 4MT thru my college years. Car was so reliable and just last forever. Time goes by, I'm coming back to the FRS
. A 997 or the new Cayman GTS will be my collection in near future. How do you like the FRS compare to the old MR2 ?
