haha, for my mom its the exact same story...my dad had a 993 Turbo and she hated it..not only because of the cost of insurance when you get 6 tickets in 3 months but also because she thought it was just for show and thats it..

Makes perfect sense to me. Wanting to get away from cars that is. Actually it is surprising that you spend so much time here at PC talking about them with us. I think if it wasn’t for your kind nature you won’t bother but I am so glad you do . I know I sure enjoy being a part of a community that includes st-anger and like others can’t imagine what it would be like with out you.

You bring up another interesting point, as much as we love these outrageously fast cars they are really too fast for their own good :roll: . Realistically, the only place were you can push them to the limit and enjoy them without endangering yourself and others is on a race track. How often could an enthusiast go to the track a year unless he lived by the NS? Since sports cars aren't practical in any other sense than going fast and providing driver entertainment then if you don’t drive them as they were intended, you must be driving them for some other reason. That other reason as st-angers wife points out is “for show” . Kind of sad but true and that is exactly what most buyers of Porsches and other sports cars buy them for IMO. Why else do they come loaded up with amenities and options that weigh them down reducing their performance? The only place that you use to be able to make an argument that sports cars were practical was Germany with its autobahn. But even that has changed or is in the process of changing. What your left with is a car that is an exercise in frustration :roll: whenever you get in it. Because you know what it was design to do and most of us anyways want to do it but you can’t and if you do you can’t continue to do it for long.

There is a solution though. I have heard that there is a housing community development, I think it is in Spain, that is built around a race track where the designer took sections of famous tracks and linked them together to form his track. Now that sounds like the place to live. I think it was featured on 5th Gear so I’m sure others are already familiar with it. Hopefully it will catch on .

OK ... OK ... I am out of the predictions business ...

[nthfinity]

101% sure no one´ll guess it right...

no one has guessed, but your going to buy some sport ute?
perhaps have a ford F350 imported? lmao
a private pilots licence would always due (IFR trained for those off days weather wise) in that case, a piper could be quite good

[st-anger]

...well, we had quite some fun this weekend with the new car



a more detailed report this evening 8)

[sikx5]

LOL - u sure know how to break a car in. i like it already

[TT]

LOL cool! Now I'm hoping to see some vids of the new baby

[st-anger]

to make it short...here´s my Z350 for the summer, YES, it´s a NISSAN, I knew it NO ONE would´ve ever guessed that...

reasons...!??? many many many, but I don´t want to bore anyone…

not even my m8s around here where I live, they all expected cars like you guys partly mentioned, but hey, I need to save some money for something else – non car related this time, i´ve some other hobbies as well, unfortunately kinda expensive ones…
so, believe it or not, this is second non-german car ever, and my first Japanese one, and I simply can´t believe what you get for your money, I mean it´s soooo fucking cheap in relation... :shock:
another reason why I really like it...
so, it´s actually not “my” car, it´s more or less a rental car, I pay per month a certain amount and then simply give it back to the dealer…
I wanted to write a test report, but sorry, i´m simply too lazy and tired right now to do so, maybe some time later that week...
