I'm ruined for life . . .

I used to be happy . . .
I used to blissfully drive my 9-3SE to work and home. Took the occasional jaunt into the country. Loved the spool-up. Blasted down twisty two-lane roads.
But now I'm quite possibly ruined forever after what was a life altering event this past weekend.
I was generously given the opportunity to drive my friends MY2000 996 C4 coupe this Sat. and will never be the same again. Black, 18in. 2-piece BBS, carbon fiber interior (tastefully done), xenon, stability, 6sp.
Two words for this experience if you've never had the opportunity . . .
Holy Hell!!!
No chirps from the tires, this thing just hooked up and WENT!!! To say that I'm in love is a massive understatement. From a purely technical point of view the car is a marvel. From an aesthetic point of view the car is breathtaking.
Considering I would have to sell both of my kidneys and my liver to afford one on a scientist's salary, I'll just have to relish the experience and beg a ride every once and a while. Yikes!!
P.S. I still do love my 9-3 . . . (repeat as necessary until permenantly ingrained)
