Default Choose a car

Some of us don’t have the funds or the room to enjoy multiple “fun” cars, which got me thinking… If you could only have ONE car for fun, what would it be? This car would not be needed as your daily driver. It’s would simply be a toy. Any year, any manufacturer, any model. The other critical element of the question is that the car has to be “affordable” to YOU. You must be able to purchase the car, and pay for it’s maintenance, etc. Each of us has a different level of affordability, which should make for some interesting options.

While I’d love to have a Carrera GT, I’ll choose the GT3 Touring.

If I could only have one car it would most likely be a TTS or GTS cab. The cab is a ton of fun, and I like the back seat for the kids. I tried having my only fun car be a two seater, but it was just sad to drive it alone 99 percent of the time. With my 991.2 GTS cab I can take my family with me. My 991.2 GT3 is a good compliment to it, but I'd need 4 seats if it was my only car

An 07-09 Morgan aero 8 6MT.

I can afford one, I just can’t find one to buy.

Just one? Would probably turn the 914 and 991.2 Carrera into a 996.2 GT3. Nice intersection between new and old, and I could spend a lifetime getting better at using it.

it would have to be a UK lightweight car (so you can fix it your whole life long )
Ariel, Ultima, Caterham, Radical

i chose the 620R:

































silver 620R was exchanged against a better speced (rubystar ) 620R
as you see the Porsches come and go because so many better models are popping up.
at the above named manufactures there is a model change / life cycle impulse up to 15-20 years possible



I would exchange my mother in law and stuff for a CGT, 458Speciale, etc. but not against the 620R.

911R, without question. I'd buy one tomorrow if I weren't married.
