This is exactly what I say.. of course she quit buying that line about 10 years ago.

I just make sure she drives the nicest newest car in our fleet. Then she really has nothing to say.

I say go for it. I am already eyeing a turbo myself even though I have the N/A. It is starting to make more sense to turn my N/A into a race car and keep the turbo as a DD. N/A has a salvage title anyway.

Buy the 951. Take what you like from the 944 and sell it.

I like a little diversification in my vehicles. (and I do have 2 Porsches, but totally different ones)


No way, saying they are too much like the same car.... I have both, and even in stock form they are radicaly different cars...

My N/A is bone stock (except for the MSD coil) and the 951.... well.... MOST of the interior is still and will remain stock (sport full leather..)

The most tame 951 is still a totaly different car than even a modified N/A to be fun to have both....

For me, I usually have to give up something else. To add my 86 944 Turbo to my collection, I had to sell my boat.

OK, having just split from my wife, I MIGHT be jaded...

BUT

How about you propose to her that you get the second car, and a NEW wife....

I am just kidding... but it was funny....

Default Need to sell a vehicle to buy another Porsche?

In need of Jeep or truck of sorts if anyone is looking to unload one at a reasonable price for what it is. Alternate choice is a Suby WRX. Located in Central Jersey. Will entertain truck from 90's on or 2002-2005 WRX.

Just tell you were going to get a Ferrari, but you changed your mind at the last moment and you'll look like the good guy!

He had to get rid of it, as it was too much dog for him being a business owner, having two young girls, and a wife that works too. I used to go over to his house and get Cooper (and my nieces) all worked up, then I'd leave. I love being a bad uncle!!

Just own 3 of them at once and she'll think owning 2 is a step in the right direction. My wife is trying to whittle me down to zero.
Time to whittle down to zero wive's!
