I think two for one person and three for two people is probably the sweet spot. Always an extra car if one needs to be in the shop or, god forbid, in the body shop for an extended period of time.

But, I don’t have the garage space anymore for two. And don’t want to assume the insurance, purchase, and maintenance costs. I’d rather have the one nice car I have.

That’s a sweet car. Remember Andy had one? He called it the tank slapper. I know I am being picky, but I hate the way that car shifts and the clutch. Unless it’s massively better than what they put into the standard 996TT?

I did some thinking and yes. I should probably keep one GT3. And with tracktime in the 992 GT3, it would be that one.

But I’d still very much be taking a hard look at some of the options listed here. The top of my list is the 982 4.0L but I am now looking across the aisle at that v10 R8. Damn you.

I will say this, if I relented and could go dual clutch…..man. There’s some fun cars to be had. Before ICE goes dead.

You know a Ferrari 599 with a manual swap would be pretty cool.

They did make 30 factory manual cars, but good luck finding one.

That is cool but JFC that guy’s schtick makes DeMuro’s seem pleasant.

Honestly if there’s one thing I would get rid of from the past 15 years it’s the concept of “YouTuber.”

For now I’m leaning toward pruning.

So new GT3.

And something PDK like the 992 Turbo S or something along those lines. McLaren maybe. Just because I hear you guys. New is good.
