Editor's Advice:
As a reader, you are likely one of the 99.9 percent of all Americans who can't afford the car payments for a Porsche Carrera GT. But if you desperately want one, here's our idea: Sell your house. Sell all of your worldly possessions. Sell your dog. Use the aforementioned proceeds to finance the purchase of a Carrera GT. When your spouse asks where you will be living (because she will likely divorce you due to this cockamamie plan), tell her that you are going to rent out the car to your friends for short five-minute drives and use the resulting windfall to stay in a hotel. Not a bad plan, eh? In all seriousness, though, the Carrera GT is an amazing car with an equally amazing price tag. Even if you happen to just see one on the road, consider yourself very lucky.
