The BIG reason for me not pulling the trigger is the maintenance cost. I don't want to buy one then shell out tens of thousands more to keep it running.
It'll be a stretch for me to get one right now and hopefully in a few years it'll be less of a stretch. The thing is I don't know if I will still enjoy it as much then.
Been thinking about this for a few months now. The recession has made the price drop very tempting.

I think I'll go rent one for a few hours before deciding....

Maranello produced cars are the true embodiment of passion for automobiles but the expense isn't. Dude go drive a GTR, a Z06, used NSX, etc. Yeah it's Japanese but I've been in 2 of them and have driven multiple NSX's, if you think about it, you can find your passion in something much less expensive. I haven't driven a Cayman S, but everything I've been told and have read, pure sex on wheels without Maranello maintenance.

So, how much does an ophthalmologist make nowadays?

I'm guessing the gas man makes about $300K, if I'm not mistaken, because I have a "gas woman" in the family who makes almost $500K from 2 hospital jobs.
