991 big car, yes. More inert car, yes too. But wrong to dismiss new as bad. It's just progress.

I sold mine and never looked back. From time to time I recall the moments when we pushed that car up/down mountain passes at nonsensical speeds and were in awe of its might+composure. It's a supremely capable car for where it stands in the market, and nothing short of a 675LT (at 3x the price) can match the excitement.

Me, I'm looking forward to what that next evolution will bring...
