Not kidding about buying the red one, if you want to sell.

EDIT:

Re: G body 911. I'd love to own one some day, and I hear you about the visceral driving experience. It's hard to find a decent one for less than 30K nowadays, though, and that's a lot of cheddar. I also can't forget that 15 or so years ago when I was looking at 964s my overriding impression was that by modern standards they were kind of slow and needed to rev. Maybe a G body wouldn't make me feel that way, but when so much of my driving is stop and go city stuff I bet I'd miss the torque from the Variocam in the later motors.

Re: G-wagen. I have no use for one of those, other than driving in the snow, which is probably a terrible idea because they like to rust. But I find them relentlessly cool for whatever reason, and it would be...plausible to have as a car in addition to the Boxster rather than instead of it.


Accurate perspective. It’s overrated in a lot of ways. But so good subjectively.
