Yes...but I do like looking at the 993TT when I am in the garage and washing it on the weekend gorgeous thing that it is. As it stands now plan is with my two car garage (with lift) in the...summer TTS and T4S on the ground with the 993TT on the Bendpak lift...with S3 and Range Rover outside....and in the winter.....TT and TTS off site...T4S which we will drive on occasion on a nice winter day would be in the air...S3 and Range rover on the ground - pick up truck now at the office.

First world problem - a little embarrassed by it truth be told. TT Surgeon's idea of sending it down the road is starting to resonate a little louder....

Whatever decision you make will be the right one for you. Good luck!

To bad your 991.2 Targa 4S is already in or soon to be in the works. A Targa 4 GTS might have made your 991.1 TTS decision a bit easier.
I had a peek at your 993TT yesterday when I was in "the annex", what a sweet find! Congrats!!

A few yrs ago I had a cayenne for my wife, a '11tt, '96 993tt and an original 505 slant....with a two car garage. Parking a tts and cayenne outside just didn't seem right, plus pissed off the wife. Fast fwd, I simplified with a macan s for the wife and a 997.1tt for me with a disposable Ford Explorer sport dd, sold the air cooled cars of course before the price explosion but that's another story that will drive you to drink....

The TTS is a fantastic DE car. Put some Cup2 tires on it, and you absolutely DESTROY any GT3 on the track. I cannot stress enough how much fun this car is on track!!

Update in that I traded my TTS to my dealer from my wife's 991.2 Targa 4S coming. My weekend car will be my 993TT. In the end, no garage space - no time to drive - always seem to be cleaning cars or moving cars in and out of laneway....basically at wits end and tired of thinking about it. i am on the list for a 2018 GT3 and wondering if they will be civil enough for a daily driver...where I start the cycle again.....no garage space - no time - clean clean clean - move in and out of laneway.....

I would just get rid of the TTS.

Or get rid of the RR and daily drive the TTS.
