Have you ever driven a sports car?

8. Two Ferraris, seven Porshces a couple if Triumphs and a handfull of mercedes including a 190 SL.

Porsche, there is no substitute.

Currently driving a Ford 150 XLT but as soon as I settle in I will buy another Porsche Boxter though there is not really much use for one in Arizona.

Ferrari is an Italian word. Means in the shop but what a kick in the ass to drive if you don't mind < 8 miles per gallon and the fact that they spend more time in the shop than on the street. It's a rich folks toy. Case in point. At some point, Fiat bought Ferrari. A Ferrari oil filter cost $80.00 in 1980. The exact same oil filter except with Fiat instead of Ferrari on the label cost $6.00

I would take a Porsche across country without a second thought and have.

Triumphs break down every time you turn them off. Took a trip from S.F. to Charlotte N.C. in a TR250. Took me six days to get to Albequerki N.M. Traded it in on a Porsche 914 when I got to Charlotte and never looked back. 911s are a true joy but hard to justify in this day and age.

If you live in hill country and learn to really drive your car, A sports car is a kick. If you live in a state like Arizona where all the roads are straight for as far as the eye can see, buy a Corvette.

Miatas look interesting and Fiat has a new Abarth that might be worth looking at.
Guess it depends on what you're trying to achieve.
