By your own admission you "loved" the Turbo S but still got rid of it. Then you "loved" the Gallardo and got rid of that. You, my friend are restless and have the disease bad. You are lucky enough to be in the position to have had some really nice cars but not really lucky enough to be able to own all you'd like at the same time (like most of us). Next time you fall in love resist the temptation to change for change sake (the $ reason on the G is only valid when you know you are getting rid of it, not if you were keeping it). I think you should go try a Ferrari and let us know.

Well, there are several ways to get cured:

3. Pschyciatry
4. Hypnosis
5. Bankruptcy
6. Therapist
7. New Girlfriend/Wife who will spend all of your money
8. Lose 30 lbs./exercise/eat right

I had some time to think this through for you. Lou, just go out an buy another Gallardo and I think you will be okay for awhile. Forget about the vig, if the money doesn't matter to you, then get what makes you happy, that's the only true solution. Remember, regrets have no future.

Why would a sports car need all the above to make it complete?? Why doesn't Porsche lower it, make a decent exhaust, and differentiate it??

But then look at even Lamborghini's and Ferrari's these day's, i think there is just a HUGE market for aftermarket parts for any car now a days, including exotics and not just Porsche's, depends on how you look at it. We arent the only guys modifying!

I feel your pain man..I had a turbo and got rid of it for a sweet a$$ M3 and loved it. But thought i couldn't be without my TT so i bought it back.. After a month of owning it i regretted getting rid of the M...Now my way out of this going back and forth car stuff is just driving SUV's...But if i had the cash. A gallardo would be in driveway!!!
Good luck!
