Thanks. Not a Z, really not an anything as nothing is left from stock haha. It has an LSA I built myself so it’s a hard one to part with.

No nav, no digital radio. Just the beautiful sound of that flat 6 engine purring along.
I just got my 997TT and love it. Just right mix of modern capabilities (and safety) while still being analog as everyone says.

I’d have a modern exotic and all the tech if I could afford it lol! I’ve driven a 991 GTS and the steering isn’t numb by any stretch, and think the same could be said of anything past the first few electronic steering racks in a proper sports car.

Really the 997 hit a sweet spot of affordability (without selling the camaro) and tech, all while hopefully not losing a bunch in depreciation. I wanted at least an 06 or newer as that is where safety took a big leap, and at least one of these cars needs to be suitable for taking my daughter and soon to be born son for a ride in.

560 rwhp, no traction control, no crumple zones, no safety period... not for the family lol.

Just a four cylinder engine, a five speed transmission and stunning looks.

So many amazing Porsches in this thread! I really would love a newer one but can't seem to convince myself to sell my 996. Also a pic with my buddy's 930 flatnoseFB_IMG_1575297429372~2.jpg

As evidenced through my tenure here, I’m a big car lover. I’ve had a hell of a car journey. I’d like to believe I’ve finally got my perfect set up.



On top of that, I started GS Motor Club as a bit of a hobby. It’s been a lot of fun. So these cars I’m posting essentially revolve around that.



Sure, maybe a bit of flex going on. Hard to deny that. But really it’s just a sharing of my hobby and my passion for cars. I enjoy looking at, reading about, and learning from others more so than I do my own. Hence one of the reasons to start this new thread.



Brabus G550 - to haul gear to and from shows. Heck of a show car.

Cayanne Turbo - the daily. Just getting new wheels and tints and maybe a black skirt along the bottom. More pics when I get her back.

AMG GTR - the track car. The hammer.

Porsche 992 Turbo S Cab - the other daily. The scalpel. So fast. So precise.


Great thread Seth! Great vehicles as well! Always enjoy your car related threads. I’d like to compliment all the beautiful cars, trucks, and collections in this thread, but that’d take a while. So …GREAT VEHICLES EVERYONE! I’m a car lover like most everyone in this thread, from old rusted beaters, to high end exotics, I have appreciation!

I can also now say, my watch collection matches my vehicle collection. I enjoy all my vehicles/watches for specific reasons.

The upper level “pretty garage”




The detached “working / rugged” garage

Well three of them are for the wife (vette, e-pace, 2 door wrangler)….so my choice is basically down to three. Although I drive hers like they’re “supposed” to be driven every so often. I just tell her they need to be driven hard every once in a while. She reluctantly gives me the keys

Wow, some really great stuff in your garages. Good to see lots of car lovers. These are a few of ours. My daily is the Merc. The others are forever pets. Except the Aston, my wife’s daily and she’s ready for a new AM. She absolutely loves her Bronco, glad we bought it 8 years ago😀

It’s kind of weird saying this as a life long car nut, but that Tesla 3 is probably the most exhilarating

I know they are nothing special compared to so many in this thread, but here are my bunch.

My 1990 Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign which was actually the exact car I learned to drive in, and I accidentally found out in the middle of nowhere in TN with only 10k more miles on it than when my father sold it. Had no intentions of finding it again but I always had great memories with that car, and always loved it. So it had to come home as a current project.



Next up our family hauler Sierra



My daily beater 530i. Keep thinking about upgrading it but my route to work is full of dump trucks that throw debris everywhere and it hasn’t given me issues really (knocks on wood) so just keeping it going with no real end date in sight.


My last fun car/ toy was an imported 1991 Silvia Ks drift car that was imported. I was the first stateside owner. Sold it not too long ago.




My current weekend/ fun car. Fills everything the Silvia couldn’t so much better. I can fit the whole family. It is probably faster, it has AC. It doesn’t embarrass the wife in date nights. The nicest car I’ve ever had and the closest I’ll likely ever get to an exotic. Had to make sure I got the GTS with the Ferrari F154 power plant like I said closest I’ll probably ever get.





There’s some truly amazing cars in this thread. Nicely done gents!

Planning on adding this to the stable in the not so distant future, just need to convince the boss before it’s my turn to configure lol. It’s 9000 lbs, 830hp, does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

I drove BMWs for some years, then I remembered riding in a friend’s M-B sedan. I looked around for used, and found this baby Benz. A used 2019 GLA 250, 4matic with 6,560 miles. It goes in for B level service next month.

One of the few cars I truly love, my S54 M Coupe, owned it for many years and will gift it to my sons someday.
