I’m going to get a GT3.

In addition to the new turbo?

YOLO

I’m been trying really hard to find the car which I won’t dump in a year —and even if I did, how do I do it and stay cost neutral?

Few cars answer that bell.

Need more details on GT3, please.

I’m in active pursuit.

But I don’t need to pay market premium for two cars. So I’m being a fair bit more patient here.

Incidentally, what evolved my thinking here is that 1 TTS and 1 GT3 = 1 new F8 Tributo or 1 new McLaren 720S.

When I do that math that way, life is simpler.

Now, if it weren't for the great spec and condition of the 981S, I'd be down to one (but of course, I hardly drive or put any miles).

Agreed.

Honestly, a max of 3 should suffice. I just LOVE my choice of cars in my corral: each has strengths that others lack, and unless I want a high-performance car like many of you seem to have (Porsche, Camaro, 'Vette, etc.), I really don't need or want another to maintain/operate.

(I already have enough of a hard time maintaining my other vehicles, LOL).

*IF* I was in the market for another, a small, 2-door 'vert like a Miata would be nice.....which is probably why I'm not too serious about finding a used one the past couple of years.

That’s a nice GT3, but two white cars? You need to put some martini stripes or something on the GT3 just to keep them apart

I like Porsche cars in white.

Racing colors.

Mid six figures in white cars, though? I mean, you like what you like, but that's...so much not fun.
