    Have one of each? Motorcycles have a preferential treatment when it comes to B I K .🚧

      Then I thought I should just get a car like a civilised person.
      How will you get over the knowledge that you could have spent 1/4 of the money for higher performance and more fun?

        That battle is resolved every time it pisses down and I get home weighing twice as much as I did when I left.

          I'm thinking of buying one for this reason, but am unsure whether it would be sufficiently effective in this respect?

          OK I'll fess up - a mate of mine thinks I should buy one for this reason, as he wants to see me get some nookie
          I have never owned a Porsche. But I have often been out as a passenger in a mates 911. I can honestly say its the only car I have ever been in where the girls would see you drive into the pub car park and come immediately out to say hello and start to chat us two up. We were fighting them off with tulipty sticks.

          If that's your thing a Porsche a good bet.

            A cheap car performance car? Boxster is not. Running costs are high if you have it serviced at the main dealer.

            A car where ladies at work, supermarket, pub, etc might spark up conversation, yes, definately. Even if you are pig ugly (they are interested in your personality ).

            It has the bonus of being a good sports car, so why the hell not?

            You can always trade it in after one summer if it turns out to be a bad decision, and get most of your money back. They are always in demand in the right colour.

              Do Porsche do vans? If so I might buy one.

                Cayenne, rip the back seats out, paint out the rear side windows. Then you have a 5.0 litre V8 Turbo 4x4 van.

                  Is it possible to lease (or contract-hire) a 2nd hand Porsche? Or any other decent car?

                      Still, my intended defence against that is to not marry them in the first place.
                      They will just happen to have an accident and get pregnant.

                      Then even if you don't marry them they will have you for 18 years especially if you aren't a complete d*ck to your off-spring.

                      You are better of getting something that attracts a woman with taste i.e. who someone who is well off/from a well off background.
