Only slightly more:

Still a PDK, the filter was set to manual.... Stupid seller.

They're slowly coming down. Still 50% more than my car :doe: and I'm a moran so I only want RWD+6MT, ideally in anything but gray/silver exterior and anything but black interior. Black on tan, white on red, whatever.

996 or a 987.1 cayman is my more likely path to ever having a poorsche unless 997's magically take a big nosedive.

...but I've never driven any of them anyway, maybe I wouldn't even want one. There's a LOT of hype to live up to, especially for a 911.

I suggest I might get a Z3.
Reality my budget is about $10k max.
I'm open to any convertible that's not a Miata.

DFD:
$38,000 Porsche.

Just want to highlight what has happened here.

Might want to check with Johnny or [user not found] about a bicycle.

I'd absolutely go JLU. It's top down weather there.
Ended up booking a JK Sahara $40 less per day than any JL and was available in manual two door. I can cancel so subject to change.
How many days? Since you said 500 was 70 I assume it’s two days and through Turo?

Just picked a random weekend in Key West in January and Hertz has a Wrongler for $150.
Fuckus is $96 and V8 Conv (GT/SS) is $225 in total.

I'll check out regular rentals too. I just normally find the agencies are :disgust: , I hate car rental companies. I've had far better experiences going through Turo. It's three full days.

:iono: in DFD's defense, the original discussion was that a Boxster would be a good alternative for < $12K. S2000 would be another. If you'd prefer a Z3, that's cool, but it's nice to know what's out there?

I can't wait for the peanut gallery to :butwhy: when I inevitably buy another R53. :trollface:

Z3 is a sweet car. So is a 911, so is a Boxster. It's great we live in a world with so many choices.

I need to test drive the N. I'd also like to test drive a C7. Perhaps in January when :dillerman: lots are dead.

It's been cold and very wet lately, so everything's slick as snot.

I'm pretty much set on the Z3, but I don't fit great.
I'll look at a Boxster, but I'm not really in love with the 986.

Slk is also on the radar.
