Dude you're kidding on the cars right????? Because I have a ceramic AP diver, and already paid deposit for a PP 5712, 5167R, and I only drive a BMW320, at the same time never really cared about watches, anyways very very cool cars, like Neil said you need to step up your wrist game as your cars are clearly way ahead, me it'll be the opposite in 2 weeks and on... Anyways couldn't care for cars, but would love to have your AP and Aston Martin, where the hell do you put all those cars???

Yes cars are my absolutely passion. Watches are secondary, at least for me.

I do have a lift in the main garage and a 4 car garage. SUV's sit outside lol.

Is the Carrera gt as hard to drive as I've read? As in super precise and can't be sloppy? Not that I could even remotely afford one. Years ago I would see this old lady cruise around in one.

Yes, the CGT is a full Racecar in street clothes. The engine and chassis was originally designed for LeMans racing but got scrapped due to Porsche wanting to invest more into the Cayenne (which ultimately is/was a success).
When they released the some 1200 CGT's in 04-05, there were over 70 patents related to the development of the car.
One of the idiosyncrasies is the world's first carbon ceramic composite clutch built to be super light with low center of gravity. The clutch pedal is stiff and a bit unforgiving.

I used to race LotusCupUSA for fun and Elises and Exiges are easy to slide and push to the limit. There is much more respect demanded from the CGT, largely due to its stiff carbon fiber tub and chassis. Because the car is so stiff, there is no body roll or feedback. In other words, once the car's tail end starts to slide, it's very difficult to correct. This is the reason you hear of so many crashes with the CGT (as in the unfortunate Paul Walker accident) - simply no margin for error.
That's what makes the CGT such a respected iconic car.

Came in expecting to drool over a watch but left drooling over the cars. We have the same 2 hobbies! Beautiful collection.
