Happy New Year, besides being a great car, what made you change your mind ?

Happy New Year to you too, and To Everybody!!!

Yeah, curious to hear about your decision. With your fleet of cars, everytime you praise your 3GS - makes me feel better about my ride

Long story...... wanted a REALLY large car for the commute but decided it wouldn't make a difference so kept the GS. I hope all of you guys have a great 2008!

It's not like I am trembling in fear behind the wheel, it's just that the 15 mile stretch of 2 lane highway freaks me out a little bit. I'm sure it will pass in due time.

Here's an idea... take the Porsche... drive 160mph through that 15mi stretch...and it will only feel like it's 7.5mi's long... should decrease your anxiety by 50%... and scare the *%^#@ out of everyone else on the road...making them anxious and thus more careful drivers!
