Should I get a Porche Boxster?

[AtW]

Go for a 350 or 370Z. can't pose with a boxster as everyone knows it is a poor man's posing car so go for something with a bit of grunt and a sweet sound. Much better driving experience with a growling V6.

So we went from yesterday:

My Accord feels like its been hewn out of a block of steel and I honestly can't see it breaking down even in 10 years time.
You mugs who bought German better have multiple breakdown cover

To later on yesterday:

No its not a mid-life crisis, its just that I have a Boxster sized amount sitting in one of my accounts now the dust has settled on property purchases.
Or is there something better for the money?

Why don't you fix up the imaginary house in Portugal that needs doing up:

It's got 4 rooms that could be used as bedrooms. needs doing up a bit but I like its rustic charm. Oh and a view to die for.

You really are some special kind of

Walter you say?

Too funny for words...

Porsche Boxster would cost around £55k once you put on the accessories it needs, in 3 years time it will be worth £20k. Good luck with that.

£55k could buy you an AM Vantage, XKR, R8, M6, or if you really want to scare yourself, an Ariel Atom. But, if course, you didn't post for some serious advice, you posted some more Walter

Have you taken up hairdressing now as well?

Nearly as bad as suggesting an Audi TT or a Mazda MX5.

from Wikipedia

Mitty is a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life: in a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer, appearing in several dictionaries.[2] The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs".[3] The most famous of Thurber's inept male protagonists, the character is considered "the archetype for dreamy, hapless, Thurber Man".[4]

Although the story has humorous elements, there is a darker and more significant message underlying the text, leading to a more tragic interpretation of the Mitty character. Even in his heroic daydreams, Mitty does not triumph, several fantasies being interrupted before the final one sees Mitty dying bravely in front of a firing squad. In the brief snatches of reality that punctuate Mitty's fantasies the audience meets well-meaning but insensitive strangers who inadvertently rob Mitty of some of his remaining dignity.

I've never seen a better summary of our dear beloved SAS.

There was a sales guy in my first and only ever permie role, a wide boy with pin stripe suits, plenty of gel who used to bark on about how he was scuba diving that weekend in Italy and how he made his millions in the diamond trade but couldn't give up sales as he liked the kill. He always used to go on about his Maserati and would the junior sales guys ever dream of owing such a magnificent car. One day a junior sales guy took him up on his offer for a lift to work in said car, the next morning super sales guy turned up at his flat... in a smart car mutterring something about how his beloved car had been trashed on the journey home the night before and that all they gave him while the insurance was being sorted out was a several year old smart car... sales guy moved on to another company soon after the rest of the sales team heard about it and never let up on the jokes.

Ever work in Sales near Canary Wharf SAS ?

Well thanks for the advice all - but I've decided a classic old Merc is probably more my style. And may have the added advantage of being an appreciating asset. I never could bring myself to pay thousands for a new car that loses a few grand as soon as you drive off the forecourt.

Any suggestions for which Merc? - the hairdresser style 2 seaters are out of the question.
