I have always toyed with buying an F-Car, but am scared away from the ability to park it anywhere and reliability. And contrary to popular belief if you actually put miles on it, they drop like a rock in resale value.... So I decided if I wanted a pretty piece of art in my garage that I can't drive more than 2-3k a year, then I'd get one, since I want to actually drive... I'll keep my 996 till the 998 comes out and get a Mini Cooper S with all the JCW bits as a fun knock around car. For less than 40k loaded, I don't care about depreciation and can drive it in to the ground. Did I mention that means I still have 3 porsche's so my manhood is ok with a mini cooper purchase...

If I ever part with my C2, I'll shop for a C4S or GT3. But, my C2 is a great fit for me. I'm obsessed with it.

either a GT3 or a skyline GT-R for me...possibly a 996TT but this isn't in the near future.

i'm not really loyal to porsche, just to my current car, which has probably saved my life more than a few times. once it's time to retire it, i may switch brands.

I am keeping my C4S coupe and will add a C4S cab. I just love this car and only wish I had a open top for the really nice days.

Then I think I will pick up a used Cayman for a project car and have a 3.8l 997S engine dropped in it and add a turbo charger.
