I was reading through some old posts this weekend and stumbled upon John Killion’s “A Den of Porsche Infidelity” (if you haven’t yet read this story, It’s worth your time). In this post John ponders “cheating” on his Porsche 944 with a new Cayman S; I’m sure the idea of “trading up” is something we can all relate to. In fact, John (my John that is) always talks about various other Porsches he would like to have in our garage. You see, It’s not that he’s unsatisfied with the current stable, rather there’s a long wish-list of vintage and current Porsches he would like the opportunity to play with.
However, it got me to thinking. Is this “wish-list” of possible dream cars only limited to Porsche? What if money was no object and you could have any car you wanted, Porsche or otherwise? So I asked, “John, if money was no object and you could have any car you wanted, Porsche or otherwise, what would it be?” Without even taking time to think about it he answered.
A Pagani Zonda Roadster F. One of only 25 and made to measure for each owner!
Yes, I was shocked too. What I expected to hear was something along the lines of the new Porsche 918 Sypder, a 911 GT2 RS or maybe even a vintage Porsche RS60, etc. Boy, was I off the mark. As much of a Porsche loyalist he is, John would still cheat on his Porsche.
So, I ask you, “If money were no object and you could buy any one car, Porsche or otherwise, what would it be and why?”

Not exactly. I'd first get all the Porsche's I want (CGT, 918, TT S Cabrio, etc...) then would get a gallardo spyder and an Enzo : D
Definitely the 918 Spyder!!
If we're talking about production cars of today, I'd have to head toward Aston Martin. Without question, they are building the most beautiful cars today. So, in the Aston Martin line, I'll take a DBS.
Though, if I look back in time, it would be a shootout between an F40 and a 959 with the 959 just edging out the Ferrari.
I spent the better part of the weekend tooling around topless in my sister's Toyota MR2 and I fell completely in love with that car! That car does everything right and I couldn't find one thing not to like about it, and I was looking too. At one point I muttered to myself, "I could give up both my 944 and my 928 S4 for this car."
But then I drove both Porsches back to back on Sunday and realized it was only a brief and fleeting infatuation with that supple and sure-footed Asian Goddess.
Cheers!

In my world there is only room for one special car, so the decision is easy PORSCHE
My Ocean Blue with classic gray top & carbon interior 1998 Carrera 4 Cabriolet with 13 K miles is by far the ultimate car and I am thankful she calls herself mine
Cheat.....? then why get married in the first place
