Agreed...while I absolutely love my recently departed 2004 996TT I don't think I would be happy with it being my only car as it has its limitations. It certainly could be a one and only car under the right conditions but if nothing more than wanting to keep the mileage down I would want something else.
You got rid of it already? The thing I love about the Turbo is that it is the only car that offers that level of performance that I don't mind putting miles on -- or as was the case today ramming it into my toolbox in the garage (doh!). *If* I could have only one car, it would be my choice because it makes the best compromises of the bunch. But what fun is one car?

I'd get an Esprit V8 for weekends/vacation roadtrips, a hybrid (civic or Prius) for daily commuting and some sort of track toy (S2K, Miata, Elise).
I'm a big fan of the Esprit (the damn parking brake location aside) -- and curious, how has your quality / reliability experience been?

Lately I've been thinking this out as well. . . I've heard the 911 GT2 is in the 130-140k range. I'd go for this, if your planning on spending 120k already. But miles on a GT2 and maintenance is what you'll have to keep in mind. . . so you'll need primary transportation . . . something...?

If I were to spend 120k total on two or three cars. My choice would be as follows.

03-04 Range Rover / 04 M3 / and a bike. - that's about 120k right there...

If you go for the 911 Turbo ----> GT2

I guess it's kind've silly to ask this question on this board because most of us think like people that can afford $30K-$40K cars (even though many of us can afford more). But I can honestly say that most people I know that can afford a $120K 911 TT, can/usually afford to park a $50K SUV next to it. At this level the difference between $120K & $170K is not much.

For 120K, I'd get a Maserati Quattroporte or a MB E55 AMG and another fun car for modding (S2K, EVO, 350Z, etc.)
