If you are in Baltimore you can drive to Summit Point, NJMP, Pocono and maybe the Glen in the GT3 with no problems. So keep it. Sell the truck and drop the C4S when the lease is up, and buy a Golf R or BMW 2 series for winters and the back seat. Only problem is the DD is not nearly as nice. BTW, you didn't say what your wife was driving.
The lady drives a 12 Land Rover-and loves it. It handles the family duties nicely.

Sell them all, drive the C4S until the lease is up, get a practical four door family car. Plow back the money into your new business, annihilate the competition, buy new GT3 when you are ready to play. Nothing wrong with pushing the reset button with your career while pressing pause on the toys to help facilitate.

Change your 991 lease to a Macan S, or Cayenne S if you need towing.

I was about to trade my 2010 GT3 for a new aero GTS or GT3. The sales rep convinced me that the price delta on the two would be lost in the first year. Plus just about every one on here that has driven the new GT3 on the street says they are fairly civil compared to the previous models. I went with the new GT3.

I'd keep the GT3 too. At least it won't depreciate much if any now.
I was DD my 2013 991 C4S PDK. I hated the PDK, ruined the car for me somewhat. It was the best DD I have ever owned though, I live in Toronto and I used it all year round, and like the OP, I used it to transport my 3.5 year old daily.
But the GT3 is an entirely diff animal and I LOVE the manual!!!! So in the end I sold the 991 , picked up a 2010 GT3, and a Golf R. Now I got the best of both worlds and the Golf R is a great DD.

Smart man!!! This sounds like a very well thought out solution. If you sell the 7-3, I guarantee you will regret it one day. I sold one about two years ago and regretted it ever since. Fortunately I was able to score a 7.2-3 recently, and vow to not make the same mistake again.

Or retire and spend it before the government takes it and gives it way.

Nathan, I think you forgot to mention the uber motor! I sold my white GT3and bought the car in my avatar last fall. It's great when it runs. Good luck with your dilemma - we all have it.

You can sell the 991 fairly easily. It does not need to be traded in to get rid of it. Call up PFS and ask them for the buyout (this is not the sum of the remaining payments). There is a set depreciation schedule just like a purchase and you can buy it out at any time. I do this about once per year with my cars as I rotate through.
