Loving all the cars posted. Wish I didn’t love cars so much. Or I had more money, and more garage space. Not complaining. Just sayin.

I knew that McLaren was short lived. I really did and do love and admire it. But it’s a dangerous car in my opinion. I just didn’t feel great really moving it. And the tech is in the dark ages in comparison to what is offered today.

Hottest car on the market. But I don’t stand by my cars. I drive them. And I’m a decent driver. Even so, I readily admit it was too much car for me.

Similar to my watch game. I’m forever in the search for the perfect one. The go anywhere, do anything, looks good, feels good kind of vehicle. I found that with the 911 Turbo S Cab. I’ll keep that car forever.

I’ve just found another car that’s super different. But similar in that it’s not great at any one thing. But it’s a car that does nearly everything. Combined with the 911, I truly get all I can ever need.

It won’t be in the “keep for life” category though. It’s not my build. I love the spec, but it’s a 2020 with minimal warranty left, again, not my build. So I’m hopeful I’ll keep this until I can get my own spec. Problem with that is it’s a 2 year wait, and a big dealer markup. I’m not into it.

So this’ll be my daily for a bit. Fast. Very very fast. Loud, but if I’m in soft/daily mode, it’s just like any other car. Well, sort of. But hit sport mode and it’s a snarling animal that just wants to go. It’s also got a ton of space, winter driving capability, and it’s haf. But all thing considered it’s relatively under the radar. Mostly. Im comparison to most exotics, very few folks have any idea what this is. Which is why I appreciate the color so much. Because the bright colors really change the game with this thing.

Anyway. Sorry for the long post. I just think a lot. And I love cars.
Love it Seth. Especially how the green calipers pop against the rest of the car

Congrats! Would love to get behind the wheel. My 997 turbo is pretty great in sport, I’ve driven an uncles 991.2 gts and the handling is great, can’t imagine what the latest can do.

Oh YES!!! What a beast....this won't be in the lineup for long in the Stellantis Group. Enjoy this gas-guzzling pork chop. Nothing like it. Have fun creating some memories with the 3 yr old boy!

That blue is spectacular! Just gorgeous. Is that last pic your garage or is that at a shop? That flooring is awesome.

Dude!!!!!

That GT3 is the perfect car. I’m in love. Was super close to something super similar. Literally a day away and was ready to pay the vig. Then they added 10k on top of the already crazy number and I said no.

But damn, I absolutely love that car. The one I was looking at was shark blue. Prefer your maritime blue. Absolutely stunning!!

Enjoy it!!

Thanks Seth! It was a long time coming (I pre-traded my GT4 in Spring 2021). But I'm very happy with the spec and the 6MT is sublime.

Sorry to head about the added vig ... hopefully this craziness subsides soon. At least you have your Turbo S already!

Yes sir. No complaints. I’ll keep the turbo s for the rest of my days.

But something about the gt3. Gosh, I just love it. And that one…that’s the one.
