The Porsche 928 was a dream car of mine when I was really young, such a wedge shape, unique headlights... What is funny is that I ended up getting multiple of my dream cars mashed up into one car, and I didn't even really realize it until I had owned and driven the vehicle enough to actually understand what it is capable of...I had always wanted a fast sporty and comfortable car, the M5 was the ultimate in that department, but I also always wanted a lifted Toyota or Nissan with those super cool (super noisy, super high treadwear) Mickey Thompson tires, a pickup with a shell (the original SUV) or if I was being spendy, a 4runner or Pathfinder with the big V6. 30 years later I am a family man that is finally looking to replace the minivan with an SUV. Looked at the ordinary stuff (Japanese and American) and didn't like the specs (tow rating, mileage, safety) of any of the traditional offerings. Started looking at used Euro-lux SUVs and on paper they looked the part, high towing capacity, comfort, better ride/handling, and better safety. After purchasing our 2008 Cayenne, OMG this is the dream car I never knew existed!!!! The Cayenne is truly the best handling SUV available, literally comparable to Mustangs, Camaros, a super tuned Autobahn machine designed for high speed! It truly does everything an M5 can do, right up to the last few seconds at Nurburgring! Luxury sport sedan/muscle car, CHECK! But wait...there is the other side of the Cayenne...11 inches true ground clearance, 1:37 low gear crawl ratio transfer case, locking center diff...This thing is just short of a Jeep Rubicon off road, for real! As a matter of fact the Cayenne is way faster than a Jeep when rally racing! Winner of the Transsyberia rally multiple times! Now that I put OZ Racing wheels and Nitto Terrain Grapplers on it...Potent off road SUV with gnarly off road tires, CHECK! Really, it is true. A soccer mom grocery getting SUV is TRULY my DREAM cars, all rolled into one!!
