Three Wheelin'
LWBS vs. 18-ways vs. 4-ways
Although I don't have lots of seat time in the LWBS, call me crazy but I find them more comfortable than the 18-ways. The 18-ways are quite over-rated IMO. I find the buckets more accommodating in the area of the bolsters (seat and back), where the bolsters on the 18-ways are a bit too confining to the point where they feel too small.
Hell, I'd take the 4-ways over the 18-ways.
And if you care about wearing the side bolsters out on the 18-ways/4-ways, it's almost as hard to get in/out of them vs. the buckets.
Nice thing either way is that the 991 has a nice flat surface at the doorsills for your hand to support your body weight making it fairly easy to "lift" yourself out.
Most importantly, you must see which seat fits your body best, and go with those.

I've had the sore knee!! Is that no longer a thing with the buckets? 
FWIW, I love my 18-ways. Heated and ventilated, they're wonderful for everything that's not on a race track.

Because in a non-bucket type seat and especially when you're not using racing type seat belts, bracing one's left knee against the door panel is a decent way to maintain stability in the seat on track. Helps going faster. Or at least the damn bruise you get makes it look like you're really working at going faster! lol

That fixed the problem. In the .2 i'll have the LWB's so all should be good.

Drifting
he'd have to pay taxes on it, I heard that the government there was so restrictive on taxes that even factory run cars needed documentation for road and use tax. He can drive the latest and the newest GT3 so why buy one? Maybe he's driving a GT3 turbo or GT2RS today or how about a GT4RS, if you are a pimp theres no need to be marrying hoes
