If a mid-engine car gets released in the next few years, I'm going to jump on it. Also, if we change our minds about kids then the wife will petition for me to get a 4 door. At the moment I'm in the clear, but that's part of the reason I don't want to invest too heavily.
well i flew there and drove it home lol

i guess i'm lucky. fiance' is a car person and even if/when kids come into play the Z or whatever sports car i have stays

3 car garage? That's the most elusive thing when living near downtown. Or would she just trade cars with you when you needed to take the kids? My wife doesn't feel comfortable driving manual on the road and I refuse to buy an automatic, so trading cars isn't really an option. Luckily, we're both on board with the empty nester lifestyle.

Ha. We're in a similar boat. She's getting rid of her Accord soon for an SUV. I don't know why she wants an SUV so badly. They seem so "soccer mom" to me. I've been trying to get her into an A5 but it isn't working. She's hung up on the Acura RSX, but it'd be kind of cool if she got the FX37 so we'd have the same engine...

Ah, yeah, the Q7 and X5 are nice, but are too large for her taste. Even the Q5 was too big. She actually wants to look at the new Q3.

I think you chose right. I don't mean to but I think the Cayenne Turbo S is a complete waste of money. The thing costs six figured and weighs over 5k lbs. I don't see the appeal. It's a bad buy if you want a sports car because riding so high and weighing so much, it'll never be that sporty. And it would seem crazy to use it like a proper SUV, towing boats and driving through mud and brush. If I was going to spend that much and had the parking, I'd buy a Vette and some random SUV/truck. One for sport and one for hauling.
