Nice Cayman, with that mileage, it should sell real quick. Don’t give it away, market is hot.

Nice 911! I like the color and the wheels-that's a great combo.

I love the build quality of the Porsches. I've owned/driven a lot of cars (from Ferrari to Fords to Lambo's) and yet I am always impressed at how the Porsches are put together. If mine sells I am going to miss it, but I just have too many "toys"...or at least my wife keeps telling me!

I realized I forgot to add pics of mine. I sold the TTS a while back, should have kept it, but prefer the Spyder on the street over it.

2022 Wrangler Hopefully
Interesting how many who own arguably the best quality automobile in existence can stomach the wrangler and all its glorious shortcomings. I have owned 5 wranglers and all the wait for some new 2022 colors has led to me building out a new 718 on the Porsche website. Never owned or drove a Porsche before, but man the desire is there.

50k on a rubi vs 90k on the 718...

Decisions.

For 50k I can get you into a barely driven Cayman S- it still smells new...and you will still have 40k left over to put towards a rubi! ;)

Both look amazing, although I'm partial to "ticket me red", errrrrr, I mean "resale red"!

Yeah, I love red. Corsa red, guards red, they're all fine by me. And I have Blue on my 2 door (Chief) and my incoming 392 (Hydro).

Thought I’d miss mine but not at all. They are awesome cars, but the roads around here totally suck to the point that I could hardly enjoy it.

after selling it, I got a vanity plate for my Jeep in honour of the 911.

2006 997 c2s -- 2022 rubicon on order
no matter how the market gets, ill never sell my 997. the only way i part with it is if its totaled and the frame is bent. 06' with 67k miles. im good for another 80-90k. if i blow the motor from bore scoring, no signs of it as of now, it will get rebuilt with the 4.0L flat6 sleeves. the only other way i can see parting with it is if i somehow get my hands on gt3, and that is not something i see as a realistic future, this one never leaves my hands.

killer cup car though, must be a blast to rip up the track with. caymans are so so under rated. i love them and they are so well balanced

Love me some Porsches too. Sold this a year and a half ago. Wish I had not. Replaced it with my Rubi. I drive more tame now. I am amazed at the stability of that JL on the course! Makes me want to try that with mine!

The only people I see driving Porsches around here are 60+ and still have parted haircuts and pleated khakis. They NEVER drive them fast. Doctors, accountants and that guy who bought a 20 year old used one with yellow faded headlights, because he couldn’t afford it in 1985, and still can’t afford to fix or maintain it. I’m sure in places like CA and FL that there are plenty of people driving then as they should be.

As for me, I’ll take a Jeep or pickup anyday. Even if someone dropped millions in my account. I’m just not the flashy car kinda guy. I would buy a hell of a boat though. But it would still be a center console fishing boat, not some flashy sandbar sound machine.
Nah.... the newbie yuppies drive lil boxsters until their girlfriends convince them its for her, and the old dudes try reallll hard to look cool in new porsches.... but its only the guys in older, collectable and coveted porsches that the true florida golddigger will pay any attention to.

You don't stop playing with toys because you grow old.

You grow old because you stop playing with toys
My dad has always had cool cars... Datsun 280ZX, Grand Prix (seemed cool at the time), supercharged Bonneville, 300SL, and 2 Jaguar XK8s... 6 years ago when he was replacing the second Jaguar, my brother and I went with him to test drive some cars. We test drove an Audi RS5 and an SQ5... and they were fun. We then went to the Tesla dealer down the street and test drove a Model S with Ludicrous Speed... the salesman drove first. We were going slow and he then said to make sure we were resting our heads on the headrest. He then hit the accelerator... my dad giggled like a school girl. My brother and I test drove it, but my dad didn't need to. He knew it was his next car. I've read in another post someone saying Teslas don't have souls... drive one... it's an effing carnival ride. There's nothing else like it. That monstrous instant torque... It's one thing I really like about turbo engines... once you get a tune, there is so much torque. Doesn't matter how fast you're going, there's always passing power.
