Exactly. And I, also, loved my RX-8 and wished for the extra power.

One thing that I never see discussed in the forums that extends this conversation about relative value and what we can afford: If I were driving a nice Cayman S, I would probably hesitate to track it much, worrying that a hairy accident would damage a big investment. And I know I would be obsessing more in parking lots and stuff.

Don't get me wrong: I would still love to have that car. But we got such a great deal. Who else makes a car like this at this price? No one.
