You could have posted a negative opinion of the car without implying that those who like the T only do so because of their thin wallets. You also could have posted without implying that those who buy the T are fools and will take a bath on the car. But you chose to use words that you perceived would put you on a pedestal above others. People who do that have issues with themselves. Instead of dealing with their own issues, they cut others down. Try living with some grace and be thankful for what you have.
I also never implied that people who buy the T are fools - but there are some individual T owners here who have acted like one (like yourself right now).
I absolutely did state that T owners will take a financial bath on the car like I did on my 991.1. ...and I stand by that statement as I believe it to be the truth.
Feel free to find and post those direct quotes where you're pulling your BS insinuations from or go back to your forum.

I never implied anywhere that people are only buying the T because of their thin wallets. On the contrary, I think the vast majority of people who buy the T can afford a GT3 as well. With the GT3's history of far less depreciation, I actually think the GT3 is cheaper.

Setting cars aside this thread became a sad commentary and indicative of why this country is so fragmented. Everyone has a position and opinion on everything but this discussion seems to have gone south and it became not relevant to the title of the thread.

Actually no. I specifically wrote - "The T isn't a car that you get to supplement your GT3 as a daily driver, it's another toy that you buy." The key word being "another" implying that the GT3 is a toy already.
I don't need to backtrack because I don't care if you don't like or agree with my opinion on the car. To be frank, guys that can afford 100k+ cars don't need you to be their white knight.
Some guys that are in the market for a 991.2 Carrera T might appreciate your cheerleading. Others guys in the market might appreciate my review steering them away from a financial bath.

You can have an opinion of course, but the way you've given your opinion has a poignant bite to it that you intended to drive home, which is received as being quite elitist. Then you continue posting an opinion of potential T owners making a mistake, taking a bath in their purchase thereby reinforcing your vitriol for those you apparently perceive to be beneath you. This is not a necessary criticism of those you do not know personally, nor know their motivations for buying a 911 not like yours. You strike me as a very shallow individual, elitist with closet shortcomings.
Both if you should step away from this thread. Who cares, it’s a car. You like the T and he likes his GT3 touring. Be happy about your decisions.
I personally don’t like the touring and think the T is not light weight enough to capture the “ethos” they are selling. So I bought a winged GT3 which both of you probably have 100 reasons why it sucks. That’s fine, it is the world we live in.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
