Plenty of room for a chainsaw...



And you could hitch a trailer to it...

Have you priced penis enlargement surgery as an alternative?

lol... was it the pic next to the grocery cart that made you think of that? never really thought of a 911 as a compensation thing... hardly a monster truck or a muscle car... what do you drive BIG STEVE?

If I was going to get any porsche, I'd get something more in the 70's for the purity. My buddy got one in High School, just a joy to drive and lots of those fun mechanical sounds and actions you want from a fun car.

Seriously? I figured everyone already figured out that guys who drive Porsches are making up for dick size and/or loss of hair. Also, over the past 26 years of law practice my fellow members of the bar and I have tracked an uncannily consistent pattern of men undergoing middle-age crises to: (a) dump the fat wife for a trophy wife; (b) buy a Porsche; and (c) get a toupee or hair tranplant.

Honda Insight : )

So true.

Thank God I started off with a trophy wife right from the git-go.

With your general attitude around here, figures you'd be a lawyer.

Yup. Not knocking the Insight or anything, but I'm guessing that when it comes to Porsches, you just plain don't get it.

It's about 2k miles/year and bragging on the 'web? seriously, porsche prices have gone nuts in the past 5-10 years because they are the new crisis/trophy car. Those Singer's BobbyStupid's blowing are $350-500k. That's retarded money.

2k miles a year of fun miles...why inflate it with junk commuting miles or putzing around town? Seems like a waste. A commute is a commute, whether you have a Camry or a Cayman.

Those Singers look to be incredible, but it's beyond me how you could spend that kind of money on a 911... People do obviously, and there's a whole part of it that I just don't get. The gt2/3 thing for instance... There's nothing about the 911's that I love that makes me wish I could do 200mph in one... The good part is between 40 and 100. And I can't see tying so much money up in one that I couldn't just drive it whenever I want... People talk about driving a certain car as an 'occasion'. I could see enjoying a car like that, but why own one? I can go rent one for my 'occasion' and bring it back when I'm done. Older porsche 911s are like the perfect sports cars... Reliable enough to use all the time, great fun to drive, not too expensive to own or maintain...

[reganized]

I'd drive the piss out of it. While it will be garage kept, it'd be a second car for the wife and I....

Has anyone used the "good investment" angle yet?

For all those $$$ do porsche come with the rear hook for the kiddy seats?

I supose I could afford a porsche ... if I got a job instead of playing

[schuss]

I think a huge part of the price inflation is the PCA circlejerk in Connecticut and i-bank circles.

Lol... I'm sure many wives have heard the 'good investment' argument... I'm pretty sure my wife knows there won't be anything left when I'm done with it.

Been looking hard at the 2002-2003 996 TT. Lots of bang for the buck. I hit up a Porsche mechanic in line at a restaurant the other day and kicked his brain a bit. He said to stay away from non turbo 996's in general, mostly for the the reasons already stated here. He said the TT's were pretty much bombproof though.

The other option is a 997 C4S. 2005-2006 seem to be almost in the price range.

My wife's ex boss had a black 1997 C4S. Holy shit was that a cool car. Gave him a ride to the airport in it and got to keep it for the weekend. I remember every second in that car. The Porsche mechanics tried to buy it from him every time he got it serviced. Never driven a 993 Turbo. The way things are looking now it's not likely I'll get the chance.

I don't have to talk my wife into getting a 911. She's the one that wants it.

Any idea what that guy's story is? It's like he turned up out of nowhere with this ridiculous porsche collection...

Awesome... Somehow I'd managed to find an 8 minute version of that somewhere. I was wondering what all the fuss was about over some 8 minute "movie"... That's way better.

Dude comes off as a bit of a goofball in this, where in other interviews I've seen, he seems really down to earth and easy to hang out with. Either way, dude's got some serious taste in cars...

[GeezerSteve]

. . . but I'm guessing that when it comes to Porsches, you just plain don't get it.

Maybe the size of my cock has something to do with that.

Actually, I driven hundreds of miles in several Porsches owned by clients. (Porsche owners and other conspicuous consumers like to flaunt their purchases; imagine that.) They are indeed fun to drive. If I had $20million liquid/no debt I might get one.

Damn dude. You'd wait till you had $20MM in the bank before springing for a rolling toupee? That's like Hugh taking the $60 paycheck from his shift at Arby's and springing for a 50 cent tug job from the homeless retard that lives in the alley next to his apt. building. In other words, you could stand to be a little freer with your money.

I give you .50 cents for a tuggie because I'm a nice guy. Yours are worth a penny, the extra .49 is charity.

So generous.
