In 2016 I bought my (realistic) dream Porsche. 50k miles of smiles since.
Envious because you think that dream Porsche is unobtainable? Don’t be.
In the upcoming May issue of Grassroots Motorsports, we detail Porsches for all budgets and all tastes, including air-cooled 911s and 996 Boxsters.

In reply to preach (fs) :
So, what'd you get?
Waiting to see 'buckets of money' as the main ingredient 
but I like 930s
996 Boxsters? 
Yes, buy a Porsche.
I have wanted a 944 and maybe a 928 for years. But I am not the best on upkeep and the Porsche tax...

Buy GME, diamond hands, then 918 spyder.
Didnt even have to read the article believe it or not.
Edit: Holy E36 M3 I am a half dork now. My momma would be proud I have settled in so nicely with my new school friends.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I bought a 2007 Cayman S. I had to wait until the S came into my price range as I knew that I would not be satisfied with the 245hp base knowing that the S was out there.
The reason I qualified my response with (realistic) is because I may dream of a GT-4 there is no way I can justify spending $90k+ for one. There are 2 cars I would get rid of my Cayman for...GT-4 or an R8.
@noddaz the porsche tax is real. I am always complaining about "having to pay for the badge" when I buy stuff for the car or it needs to be serviced.
After working on an upcoming article for Classic Motorsports, I soon found myself dream shopping for a Targa 911. Maybe there is a version out there that is at least somewhat close to my price range.
In reply to Colin Wood :
I am hoping to stumble into a cheap aircooled 3.2 for my 914. Then I'd have 2 dream porsches.
I am such a mid-engined guy...haha.
