I bet it was a blast to do that! Very jealous!

I just got me a 911 (991.1) and our 2023 Macan GTS (sadly) must go. My wife wants to keep her MDX boat and I lost that battle.
It is Chalk outside, black inside, looks new inside and out. Clean Carfax and all maintenance. 18,300 miles on it and 20k service completed.
PM me if interested please

I would agree, the 6 cylinder sounds so good...It has to be the 718 GTS 4.0 for me at a bare minimum...was once my dream car until my wife had other ideas

Fine choice

What happened? Did your wife make you buy one of those

You know what, I've never actually driven one of those, but visually more or less, its more than 2 doors to say the least!

Hey, don't put down the minivan. Lee Iacocca introduced it to the world. Same guy who introduced the Mustang to the world.

...and the Ford Pinto.

This is one of the best vehicle purchase decisions I've made to date. Don't regret it one bit. However...now I'm looking to replace the M4 with a Targa 4S.

No doubt, best sounding car I've ever owned.

Porsches were never something that interested me until the GT3RS debuted with that amazing sound flat 6. Now, I'd really like to own one (even a Boxster GTS with the 4.0) , but it's just not in the cards financially. I'm not sure it ever will be, and when it is, I may be too old to appreciate it.

Worsening the situation is the fact I sat in a Boxster a few years back at an auto show and found that the interior just fit me perfectly, like it was made for me.

Oh well.

Sell the 240i, find a reliable beater as a DD for under $10K and get yourself a 987.2 Boxster. I DD a 2008 Saab and weekend a 997.2 911.

Similar situation here.
Getting the 991.1 Carrera S was the best move for me.
The sound, the rawness, the size/looks, handling is just amazing.
It is my DD though but I only put about 300-350 miles per month on it.

Sounds to me like you're recommending I ditch the M4 for the 991 Targa.

Been eying this one for the last month, just haven't pulled the trigger on calling. This would replace the M4 as my daily (same - only do a few hundred miles / month), and think the AWD would be better suited for winter.

Of course, need to convince the Mrs. That's the hard part.

Don't buy 4wd sports cars, makes baby jesus cry. That does look fantastic and will hold value better than your M4 but is it just you or are you toting kids too?
