And why?
And, do you expect to actually buy one when you are able to ( either financially when you can some day when you have the $$, or logistically, as in getting a Boxster 10 years from now when your kids are out of the house and on their own)?

At this point nothing.
I haven’t been a car enthusiast that long, but the way this market is going cars just seem like a huge waste of money. I bought a 2019 GLI new for 25k USD with a 10 year warranty. I just can’t seem to justify spending 3x the amount to still sit in traffic. I’m never going to go out on the track, so it’s like what’s the point?
I have a pretty damn good job, but the area I live in has almost zero curved roads. It’s all flat and straight, and the reality is I’d rather go on more vacations than buy a nicer car.
This is why infotainment/screens/comfort are being a thing now since now a lot of the appeal for people is to make Traffic less miserable.
This is where I begin to wonder if “car I want = modern/sporty/fast/fancy/expensive” is a good thing. Find something really cheap you can have fun with. It won’t be the fastest, or the most advanced, or the most competitive in any particular way, but it will be affordable and it will have soul. Pick something weird, pick something you like for its historicity. Like an old Citroen with its weird hydraulic suspension—have you heard how comfortable those are supposed to be? It’s otherworldly. That’s a car you can drive and just enjoy it for what it is rather than the basic “woow this goes vroom and is fast”. Don’t have to own it for long, just like the average car enthusiast with their revolving door of cars, but it would be an experience.
It seems like it’s hard to find that too. I guess Miatas count if you have a good car already, but it feels like besides that you’re just kinda out of luck.
