Just the Car Facts, Ma'am

So in the past decade I have owned these cars:
2002 Toyota Tacoma I bought brand new in Arizona. It was stolen in Modesto in 2004 and replaced with a...
2004 Acura RSX that worked great for autocross, long trips and living in the Bay Area. My lifestyle seems to require a truck so...
2009 Toyota Tacoma parte dos found its way to my house. And I still have it and drive it 4 years and 75k miles later.

Ten years, three cars.

For the past decade in my household there has also been a.....
2006 Lexus RX400H, luxury hybrid suv. But I was abusing it like a truck, so the afore mentioned purchase. Gone.
2007 Porsche Cayman S. Amazing car but required more dedication than expected to own. Gone.
2011 Mini Cooper S. Still in the garage, but it's not "mine".

Ten years, three other cars. Hardly conspicuous consumption and not near the level of motorcycles I've had in the past decade.
That would be something like, hmmmmm Honda VTR250, Yamaha R6, Suzuki GSXR600 (times two), Suzuki DRZ 400SM (times two), Yamaha WR250X, Honda CRF50, Yamaha TTR125, Honda NT650 Hawk, Yamah FZR400, Kawasaki ZX6R,Triumph Daytona 675, Triumph Bonneville, Ninja 300, Honda CRF250L. So what's that?? Only 16 motorcycles in the past decade? And a lifetime total of probably about 24 or so?

So yeah, I've been driving the same truck for 4 years. And the same type of truck as I've had before. So it kinda seems like it has been for even longer!

If you know me, and I'm sure some of you do, can you see why I want a new car to drive?!?!?!?! Something sporty, not just transportation. And used, to fit the budget and not feel bad about parking it out of the garage.

-Porsche Boxter or Boxter S
-BMW Z4
-Subaru WRX or WRX STI
