Was less about me when it comes to this thread... I was curious where everyone else stands. I'd think you're pretty much the only one DD'ing a sporty car... outside of :[user not found]: but the Malipoo SS is kind of more on the boaty side.
Fair enough. My future plan is a true sports car as a DD
This is the way to do it. When you're just driving yourself to the office and back, why do you need utility? Gonna do a lumber run at lunch?

The obvious answer is either sports car or :truk:
Answer is sports :truk:

Mrs wants: her Volvo, a Raptor or similar, sports car. I approve of her desires.
Raptor is such :tits: :jizz: I don't normally love a lot of branding, but I love how huge FORD is stamped into that tailgate.

Better to do endless calculations and never buy anything than to buy stuff all the time NFG.

I'm trying to quit that shit myself and get rid of a bunch of junk :doe:

One car and one set of extra wheels to swap twice a year, with no other time blown working on it besides oil changes and no need to shop for more shit for awhile is going to be :mindblown:

I'm tired of it. It's not worth it to drive a loud tiny car every day to be the fastest in a parking lot on sundays.

The funny thing is the whole thing will likely cost me no more than you'll blow on BMWs. Even if I give everything away for low prices, 2017-2019 will have a net cost of around $5k not counting gas+insurance. Ideally closer to half that.

Space,
Ride height,
Reliability,
Maintenance,
price,
ride comfort,
road noise,
insurance premiums,

Those are the few that come to mind.
If I made money like you (and also didn't compete in anything like you), this would be easy. Buy a new 911 with whatever options you like, drive it. Done.
911/gayman would be nice. But... 70k doe... for gayman s I like or 90k for a 911... :troywax:

Buy $100k 911, drive for 10 years, sell for $40k. $500/month. You can afford that.

The term at work is analysis paralysis.

Don't get me wrong, I do research before making a purchase decision, but FFS spend the money or don't. As an enthusiast of 2 and 4 wheels, I look at these types purchases as experiences - some are better than others, and sometimes they're just different. Rarely have I made the "wrong" choice....Although the Hypermotard 1100 was a bit of an impulse buy/mistake....but at least I made money :doe:

I bet a base 991.2 will be worth $40k for eternity as long as it runs and is in decent shape. It's better than a 996 turbo in almost every way.

To really ensure that it holds value in that term, though, you'll want to get :manuel: and a real color.

Get a low mileage car that’s CPO’d. The CPO warranty covers just about anything that isn’t a wear item, trim, squeak or rattle... up to 100k miles.

My experience with the 911 has seen them be way more bulletproof than I’d imagined. Properly maintained they run... and run... and run.

The Panamera’s a turd, doe.

Most Porsches (911s) don't to welfare recipients but rather Doctors that can follow a maintenance schedule and can read.

One and the same... could you in your current condition. We're not talking about buying a sports car and driving it once a month. We're talking about DD'ing it.

I am shocked to see the 11 :yeth: 's because no one here is doing that outside of dave.

C5 DD is kind of tiresome at this point :doe:

Placcon is definitely raging, but it would definitely still be something sporty, 370Z, Gayman, C6/7, M3 :iono:
