I "downgraded" too.

For some, we just want change.

That change usually is up, because our pockets grow.

Most of us are car enthusiasts so we wouldn't be swayed by status, and "irrelevant" things. We focus more on the driving experience.

Sometimes that means getting a Cayman S, sometimes that means getting a turbo'ed Miata.

No pressure, only one that has a close to equal car is my roommates 350z, I spank him in corners so he doesn't say anything.

Yes.

[QUOTE=dyhppy,Feb 22 2008, 07:11 AM]of course the easy answer is that you'll keep the car and add some other fancy mobile.

Everyone I know wants me to sell my car and get something practical (I don't have any 'car' friends - all of them think I'm retarded). They can eat my black exhaust fumes

Personally I don't care what anybody thinks about my choice in cars. NSX or Neon, I'll drive it if I just happen to want to.

I believe in the philosophy of never selling a quality car. A major reason why I bought the S2000 and not a cheaper car( I am a grad student and lets just say my position is highly leveraged ) was that I would like to own it for life if the gods above permit. As far as upgrading is concerned I will upgrade but only when I can afford the upgrade along with the S.
