AWD, Turbo, flat six.... different country [do not click unless you enjoy reading]

for those who know me... know that i have been preparing for a change in terms of my vehicle choice- i love subaru.. my dad had three... and between me and the wife we had 3 as well.

i am having a little internal conflict as to what i want to do with my money... for almost 2 years we had been working our butts off to be financially free- and my reward was to be a porsche turbo.(with awd)

the problem is that i love subaru with a weird passion. i always wanted a porsche, but lately my mind has been playing tricks like: "just buy a brand new STi again and drop 35 g's into it"

but then i click on www.porsche.com/usa and my whole thinking becomes even more cluttered.

financially speaking either direction i choose will be covered under business expense.
IMHO the AWD in the subarus is the best in the world for the price you pay. and believe me i have put some of my own R&D into their AWD systems

i would like to hear some opinions and thoughts from you guys .... either way i am due for another car... and i will no means stay on the same level that i am now... i desire more than that-

I know this isn't a Porsche or a Subie, but maybe a 2006 Evo IX MR? The few guys who have them on the island got them for sub 40k prices from the mainland including shipping. One of them is running 12.1 w/ a reflash.
