Or a splendid ride?

People I know that say similar things (along with comments about inappropriate sizing of their parts to compensate for) usually never drove any sports car, so have no clue how much joy this seemingly tedious task can bring on. And if you can afford it, why not go for a better experience with <insert_your_activity> ?

If you want attention, Porshe wouldn't be a go-to. You can spend $200k on a 911 Turbo S and no one will even notice you in traffic, particularly if you get it in black/white/silver.

If you make that Porsche a 911 R, you can spend half a million dollars used, and it'll look less flashy than even a Turbo S.

I saw a 911R the other day, but only because his wife was following him in a Ferrari. I had to google the 911R to find the cost. It did sound awesome.

We're getting way off topic, but c'mon, 911s. There's a guy around here with a Vorsteiner VRT Porsche 911 Turbo S (in silver), that I definitely didn't notice until recently.
