I'm an admitted weenie about pulling my Porsche out in the rain, as my car is indeed a "for fun" indulgence, not a daily-grinder... As-such, I keep it like a show-car (as that pleases me, as it always looks dynamite), and the whole purpose of driving it is to ENJOY, not to dread the 3-hour-long cleanup after sloshing through a soup.. I don't find driving in the rain to be "fun" whatsoever... It stinks, you can't really do ANYTHING unless you're in the middle of nowhere. Playing with slippery handling around town is just stupid and dangerous.
I love variety myself, and relish the times I drive my C2S, but also relish driving other things for other reasons... I tried driving my Porsche every day... and quickly started getting bored-to-death with it... It's not the Porsche's fault, that happens to anything and everything I drive on a daily basis.. That's why I constantly mix it up... I'm driving an '06 Pontiac GTO LS2 6-speed today, and it's SO MUCH FUN!! I wish my Porsche had torque like that, but then again...
NO SINGLE car has EVERY ASSET that makes a car-guy totally satisfied... With every car that does alot of things beautifully, there's another that approaches the event of driving from a totally different angle that is equally enjoyable on different merits..
And sometimes, a cheap "no-worries" car with a maniacal V8 is just the kind of therapy I'm looking for... And then I drive an old Cadillac, and then I'm back in the 997 grinning ear-to-ear...
Variety is the spice of life... If you believe that driving your 997 every day, for miles-on-end, year-after-year, is the best medicine for you, then more power to you, it's wonderful that you can find happiness in just one machine..
But try to be understanding... some of us just like "cars", and we like to savor the contrasts and varieties... I'm like a man-whore, just with cars instead of women....
