Also with Full premier tint on the whole car along with 4K Blackvue with power cell already installed. Wonder what I would get for it, it was a daily driver (8 mins from work) until we got an Audi Q8 and Covid last 2 years, barely driven. 30k miles now?

Thought about selling it as I barely drove it maybe 1 time a month maybe now. But driving it the other weekend puts a smile on your face that only a Porsche 991 can do. So I'm back on the fence if I sell or keep, paid off so it doesn't bother me. Maybe sell and hold on to money till the market goes back down to normal again to get a slightly used 2018-20xx GT3 manual later on.

I'm curious why some user's have "Burning Brakes", "Three Wheelin'" or similar instead of "Rennlist Member" beneath their user name.

Hey, if you're not loving this 911 for whatever reason at this point, then you're not going to. Best of luck selling, I'm sure it'll go quick.
This, there are other cars out there. If the 911 doesn't tickle your fancy, it's all good.

Reading through this thread…..I just don’t get how someone can’t connect with a high performance sports car. Of course, I’ve never driven a 991.1 but 911s are so awesome.

I also think the OP should have waited until summer. That’s when these cars are truly a blast to drive.

Yes, obviously you're speaking to a biased crowd here on Rennlist. However, I had an older friend, who likes Mercedes ride with me in my GT3 RS at Sebring, and he hated it, and said that he definitely preferred his smooth Mercedes ride to the stiff, raw, 911 style of driving.

I can't explain it either, it's honestly kept me up at night. But I'm not going to worry about it any longer, now seems like a great time to get out with most of my money and sanity intact so it's going to collecting cars once it's detailed and photographed.

I think you made the right decision. If it doesn't tickle your fancy then sell it, no harm no foul. There are plenty of high end sports cars that are incredibl but after driving them they just didn't "do it " for me.

gotta agree here. no clue how anyone could walk away from a 911 drive without a huge smile and plans to do it again asap. but then we're all so different in what appeals to us, i'm not surprised and understand it happens.

i love blue cheese!!, but my sister dry heaves at the mere sight/smell of the stuff. i just don't get it.....but then i kinda do.

best of luck to the OP. at least he tried it and knows for sure now

I wish I knew: maybe I went about it wrong or I bought the wrong generation of car or maybe my brain chemistry is defective. But what it comes down to: the car is unable to defeat the financial/risk management part of my brain which tells me I don't need it, and therefore its gotta go.

PS Funny how you use bleu cheese as an example, I love the stuff, my twin brother reacts the same as your sister.

don't let anyone make you feel weird about this. Sports cars are not for everyone...that is plainly obvious when looking at sales figures. Porsches are great, but I'm not one of those people who says that a mundane drive in town or down some straight highway is some magical experience in a 911. Its a pretty blah experience in any car. Add in the traffic, all the cops, crappy road surface, and limited time due to other obligations and the range is a better fit.

There will always be an opportunity to buy another one if you find you miss it.
