As far as next rides, I've actually been fascinated with the BMW 135's. Sort of depends on how they look/feel in person. I'm also really interested in the Mercedes C63 when the prices get to reality. Might do a C55 as a DD and stop pounding the miles on the C2 (right at 140k and no that is not kilometers). Who knows ...

once you get a P-car, it is hard to take a step "back"....

Gallardo, 997TT, R8....all great choices and a lot more $$$

I'll be 996TT shopping this time next year. One more year in the C2 then it'll join the other two in the garage.

actually thinking about a 993 C2S or Turbo, or 964Turbo, would also love to have a 993 Targa as a dd

I agree with cdaniels on this one. I bought an E55 at a time when nothing on the market caught my eye. But then I decided I need a sportier fun car and decided to get a 996 with the intentions of selling the E55...never happened I just couldnt let the beast go thats how much I liked it. I get pretty attached to all of my cars. So I decided from now on I'm only going to buy cars that I can live with keeping forever . How else am I going to fill my 10 car garage when I retire right?

Now I just bought a Cayenne Turbo and already modding it and unfortunately can already feel the attachment setting in

Oh and I ordered a 2008 Smartcar thats being built as we speak. Geez I got issues...bought 3 cars in less than 6 months

And this is coming from a guy that walks to work mon-fri. No wonder my C4 wont start!

Easy one. A black black black turbo 911 Cab! Now if I can only convince the wife that there will be a next one- she thinks you should keep a car forever!

I have a REALLY BAD HABIT of buying cars, pimping them out and then selling them when mods are done. I guess my biggest enjoyment is getting to know the car and fixing it up "my way".
So now that I'm coming up on the 2-year mark with owning my C2, I'll get either a 997S or a 996TT later this year and will sell my C2. Loving the pcars too much to not get another one, just bought a CTT two weeks ago which is also growing on me.

Next 1-2 years i'm looking at getting into a 360, have to agree with Choi it is a phenominal car all the way around.

White Gallardo spyder, e-gear and IMSA body kit, pure lust...

Would keep my C2 though, too much work going into it.

Going to keep the 996 for a track car and either get a BMW 7-series, Range Rover Sport, or a Cayenne GTS.

Saw an R8 yesterday at Champion. It is a must have! (in addition to my C2 of course).
