I've got a bit of a struggle ...
Like the title says I've got a bit of a struggle here ... I seem to be obsessed with this car ... I am going to see it in person which I don't normally do unless I really want the car. I don't want to get rid of my 911 which has only 12k miles on it and I don't want to get rid of the R8 which has 15k miles on it ...
There is no way I can have another car for myself it is just not right and my driveway is currently packed (we have 7 cars now and that isn't including the RX8 which BTW I am not keeping). These cars depreciate like rocks which makes it a bargain being used and just look at it Argghh ... why did I actually look up these cars online I've got to sit in it and see if I am comfortable and I have to take it for a quick spin ... maybe I'll hate it Here is the link for the ad: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...5590/overview/ |

That's what wraps are for.
I'd ditch the R8 for one of these in a heartbeat. |

FWIW, my son got to sit at one last year and loved it. I think they're cool, but not sure I'd take one over an R8. If you can swap the R8 and/or the 911 for it without too much of a financial hit, I'd say do it. You love cars. Part of the fun of cars, is trading them in for something different and gaining the experience.
Car rag reviews suggest they're very livable. I just showed my son a picture of this car and your R8. He said the McLaren is much cooler, but you should really get it in orange.

Clyde, you and he may be kindred spirits. He also loves Camaros... as long as they have racing stripes.

There's a guy John V knows (I kinda know him, but not really) that bought one in early 2016 (I think) and did One Lap in it and has tracked it a bunch. I think he likes it, but it does not seem to be what you might call, um, trouble free. https://www.facebook.com/OneLapMcLaren/

As far as Orange... that is not a color for me, neither is green, yellow and pretty much any other color other than black, white or red ... I like some blues too but that is about it. |
