Your three cars will have more garage time than road time. A lot more. And its not hard to figure out why.
If you drive at total of, say, 15,000 miles a year and divide that mileage evenly among the three cars then you drive each one 5000 miles a year. That means you have to drive each car 96 miles a week.
Not enough mileage? Then you're going to have to crank up your yearly road time. A downside - when you're compelled to drive your cars to meet some predetermined mileage goal (and you're not in the mood), it takes a lot of the fun out of the deal.

Uhh, do ya' really need to throw around "I have $200K to spend". Sure, ask for opinions, get input, but this, throwing out these kinds of numbers, is exactly why (and with good reason in this case), the 99 percent despise the 1 percent. I doubt Warren Buffett wants for anything, but I'm also pretty certain he doesn't make public or private statements like. "I have $2M to spend on a car, should I get Konigsegg or Pagani".

Use the C2S and the 964 for weekend fun, date night, club events and concours. Use the GT3 to hone your skillzzz on the track.
Or just sell the 991 911 and get a 991 GT3 RS, and put the remaining 50-60k towards a nice vacation, or a Euro Delivery.

Is this for real? Honestly, I'd be less disturbed by this if it was posted by a 14YO boy pretending to have various cars and shop for others than I am if it's actually an adult male creating this post.

Even more honestly, it reads like the post a recent lotto winner or recently signed NBA or NFL player would create. "I have XX dollars and I need to spend them on... Something. What should it be?"

Who does that?

Man, if you're actually for real, all I can say is, find the person that spare 200k was meant for -- the person who actually has some use for it -- and give it to them. Then wait till you actually want something and go buy it.

The bigger challenge is making $200K rather than finding a way to spend it ......

Maybe the 991 forum is the wrong place to post

1 is my vote. No point in having two 991s and the Aston Martin is nice but a little long in the tooth to me.

The McLaren is the easy choice for me.


Who cares if you have $200k to throw around? Big deal. You probably earned it and good for you - you deserve to spend your money how you see fit.

Yep but that 200k likely contributed another 200k to federal and state taxes.

Yup. Why these posts have $0 value, much less $200K
