You would see the advantages of high end cars and dating if you did

A Porsche won't cut it for high end in Miami anyway...

Buy the Bentley in our classifieds. If has bullet-proof glass. Great for crazy girlfriends and ex-wife.

I think dogs are for families and retired men.


Get a puppy.
Here's a hint... most shelters would love to let you take a dog for a walk.

F car I cant daily drive .... L cars are ugly IMHO ....Astons are nice but I sold my Vantage as it was way too slow and Mercedes / BMW's are a dime a dozen down here ....

Plus I still want track time.... Figured a GTS or Targa with PDK would be a very nice car to live with on a daily basis ....

anyway, thanks for humoring me guys .... always fun

+1 on GTS...

Other thought, if you want to show class and good taste and not the thickness of your wallet, I 'd recommend a cool classic... porsche ones are too expensive now - but maybe you can swing it.. Something like an early 70s BMW 3.0 CS or, Mercedes similar... Elegant, comfortable, feels fast because it's older... Good dating car because it shows off your impeccable taste without technically showing off your $...

For example... Note also classic insurance is peanuts, cars icrease in value every year instead of depreciating... And again, class !

^^^ Good idea for girls. Bad idea for tracking.

I recently rented a SPB for a DE and had a blast... no need to always own a trackable car if you're only going out 3-6 times a year. Much over that and it's probably cheaper and nicer to own the track car though.

Advice: get a Range Rover and a puppy. Keep the Porsche/track car in the garage. Girls love Range Rovers.

OP is lucky the ex wife didn't end up with the Land Cruiser, Turbo and the cash needed for all future purchases. That's a celebration in itself. Enjoy the car for now, there are plenty of women out there.

If you are just looking to get laid then maybe and it's a big maybe the car will help. If you're looking for quality the car doesn't matter.

what do you think.... GTS suitable for a track day? or maybe build up a C4S a bit ?

Budget is say 125k ? Wait for the .2 ? or just get a .1 and do some slight mods....

Thanks again... just having some fun here - been married 25 years - ready to enjoy Miami as a single man ...

and yes,,, the girl I settle in with will love my Land Cruiser .... but for a little bit let me enjoy - please :-0 )
looks like you REALLY got your priorities straight
love this thread

I will go with exotics which will attract all kind of chicks, gold diggers, and ladies. It will be helluva expensive to track, so I will track a bit less, but who really cares, I won't have time to track anyway with all those dates.

I will make sure to keep notes on each of them for every dates and beware of ones with lips edge that slanted down (complains a lot), disproportionate face / certain face parts that are too distinguishable (complicated), small slanted eyes (angry often), and ones that are overly attached to their mother / families (they will screw you later). I find that face is a blue print of emotional expressions.

you would have a great career as a dating coach if you didnt sound so freaking miserable
