Last night I stood for 3 hours talking to a friend of mine about his Porsche 996, what' so special about his 996 was that in 2001 an inexperienced person walked into a Porsche dealership and ordered a 996 Carrera with every single option available, down t... 

... Cars are just cars. You drive them around, people open their car doors into your car door. Your car gets dinged. Sure, a Porsche is one of the best, but I'd rather drive my Audi into the ground and buy five more watches. Yes, that's my two cents.

If you think the service/repair cost for a watch is astronomical, checkout what it would cost to service a vintage Porsche.

. . . Rolling Stones tickets, though. In London, of course. And first-class airfare. Of course, the Captain would have to be my guest of honor at our front-row seats. ...  

. . . which I'm expecting any year now ;-) . . .

Ronnie Wood regularity frequents. He’s given them several of his paintings. It’s amazing what you can paint when you’ve had several Kgs of coke ;-))

. . . a good weekend. ...  

In case you give it a pass!

But I also drive a more ordinary daily driver with a slushbox in stop and go traffic...😉

the thing is out of the whole 911 series from inception till the 992, the 996 for me is the most unique design of them all, its my favorite, it came out the year I graduated from high school, its a bit of a time machine for me when I drive mine, maybe sac... 

but it depends on if you will drive it and use it daily? 996 series had some things one needs to watch out for...and many people did not care for the pancake headlights....on the other hand they are a blast to drive but I believe the first series that was... 

Although i am a petrol head . Gotta be a very special car if I wanted to do so

As others have noted, I wouldn't trade a watch I love -- something permanent -- for a **daily driver.** Your daily driver is destined to be driven into the ground, worn out, and recycled. Conversely, if you're considering this 911 as an emotional choice o... 

🙏

that made no sense to me either

... to buy a watch never makes sense, unless you can sell that watch the day after with a huge profit ;-)

S ...  

How about the watch? Have you told us about this watch you dearly love?

... take it for a fast drive now and then ... And if it is your dream car .... Why not ? You’ll probably have more than enough watches left in the drawer and on your wrist 😁. I know you are a fan of the 996 and i also know they are fun to drive and i also... 

I have to really think, I know I can't sacrifice the watch I love, so I have to look at pieces that are just sitting. Plus I already have a 996 which I love but this one is so special and unique...

www.watchprosite.com Tasteful? or no?

whar are you gonna be more satisfied with, in a month, 12 months, 5 years? Were you planning to keep this watch for the next 5 years? what about the car? a watch is easier to store and wear, is that a parameter in your mind? And so on...

I owned a 996 C4S and sold it for a 997 C2S which was a significantly better made car with higher quality materials. In other words there are plenty of other and better 911’s out there to be bought.

I agree the 997 is a lovely car, the interior is so nice, I currently own a 996 Carrera 2 Cabriolet with a manual gearbox and zero options. Its very basic and simple and a lot of plastic. Even so the drive of the car is very pure and satisfying, I feel a ...
