What cars did you own working your way up to a Ferrari?

I owned a bunch of cars over the years, but the only sports car I owned before the 328 was a 79 FIAT X1/9 in college in the early 90s

I didn't own my first car until I was 27! Ford Escort GT. Drove that for 18 years. Got the F-car bug. My wife bought me a 911 as my gateway drug to Ferrari ownership. 4 years later still love it and still have it. Bought a 2011 Cali two years ago. It's awesome.

1993 Saturn SL2
1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
2002 Porsche Boxster
2004 Porsche GT3
2013 Porsche Carrera

Of the cars above inclusive of my current f-car the new beetle got the most attention from EVERYONE - no matter age, gender, etc.

P-cars are practically invisible.

I am looking for a 93 Saturn SL2 MT as that is my nostalgic car but none are around.
