Ooh, white and no sunroof...and a roof rack.  I love a car that gets used properly!

Original top and bottom end on my car, at least according to the service records that I have. A 3.8 rs-spec motor sounds really sweet but I think that $50k may be just a tad beyond my budget ;)

I hear that. It sucks getting behind maintenance with these cars, as cost adds up so quickly. The value thing is crazy too - I bought mine for pretty cheap before they exploded in value...and I can definitely feel like a dick showing up for a work meeting in a car like that.

Do you daily your P-car? I do, and things like podcasts and audiobooks are so great to have on a daily commute. It’s even better when the playback device is my phone, because it keeps my place when I go between cars.

I had the previous Porsche Classic Radio Nav for several years in a daily-driven car. I seriously hope that the new one is better - especially for the money. Things that I would want out of the new unit:

I understand your point, but I still just don’t agree. I felt like it was pretty well balanced. The bike is not to be blamed for my occasional poor judgment.

How is my riding faster than I should have the bike’s fault?  What bike cannot be ridden fast?

I had an SV 650 from that era. It was fast, but not that fast, IMO. It gets up to high speeds pretty quickly (60 or so) but after that it didn't have much power.  The ergonomics were fine for riding around town or for a squirt up twisty mountain roads, and it was fun to point and shoot that little bike. I wouldn’t…

I’d say that your assessment is on-point. The 911 really is a GT car now. The Boxster/Cayman has taken over the mantle of Porsche’s sports car.

Yeah, how dare that an average citizen stoop to the same level of discourse as the President of the United States of America.

I don’t think that you read my post. I didn’t suggest that the punishment did not fit the crime. What I said was that vigilante justice on the inside is never appropriate. I also said that “country club” style prisons don’t exist.

Isn’t this Ferrari close enough? ;) 

True. 

I have and I regularly do - it’s only marginally worse than a small sedan. I’m sure that there are SUV owners all over the place looking askance at people taking small sedans to Costco.

That actually makes more sense to me. I’ve yet to drive a track focused street car that doesn’t seem like it’s compromised as both a street and track car.

Did you miss or deliberately ignore the part where I said “I understand that they’re a very different car with a different driving experience”? In any case, the 911 does have back seats, so if you have small friends - four people.

$115k for a “lightweight” stripped-down M3 that still weighs a bunch more than a 911? I understand that they’re a very different car with a different driving experience...but at that price, a new 911 seems like money better spent.

Of course not.  Those are only reserved for enthusiast cars.

DC has the second largest and most used mass transit system in America. (It’s still under-funded, mismanaged, and unreliable...but the suggestion that the DC area does not have a mass transit system is misleading, at best)
