Or..

Do you want to be they guy that's says "of course it's a manual, it's a GT3" and that random guy in the gas station walks off thinking there is still hope for society. Then to sweeten the moment, you pull out the gas station and rev out with a flat shift to 2nd looking in the rear view mirror as the random gives you a hell yeah fist pump.

Help society, help yourself, help some random car guy that will never get to drive one of the cars and get a winged manual GT3 😀
Haha, yep, this. Winged manual GT3 here... to help society.

I had a chance to drive a Turbo S for a few days and decided it would be a better fit for driving it every day.

Simple as that.....in the end it all worked out....didn't lose any money, applied the tax on the new car and am enjoying the car.
Dude, you've mentioned this so many times, I know your story inside and out. Honestly, I think you're going through the pangs of GT3 sellers remorse... But, you're posting in a GT3 forum. There's not going to be a whole lot of positive feedback on your move to a TTS, even as a daily; 911's in general aren't exactly ideal for DD work. Anyways, it feels like half the forum drives Raptors M-F, GT3's on weekends; I know it works great for me.

He got bit by the GT3 bug and does not even realize it. Turbo great DD but it is not a GT3.

GT3 is a GT3

LOL, by all this repetitiousness he's simply trying to convince himself, in a GT3 forum no less, he made the right move.
Actions speak louder than words, in his case.....

That's fantastic! I'll be in Destin this weekend, otherwise I would get you to stop in Montgomery on your way back north and show it off. Please post pics once you get it home and cleaned up.
