I usually just lurk around this as I shop for my dream car, but that person was beyond toxic and absolute trash.
For all the times they would tell people how much they enjoyed being able to go out and drive their GT3T, they would make 10x the amount of posts insulting other posters if they didn't share the exact point of view on something. It's insane to imagine someone so old but so childish.
Anyways, everyone here has been really helpful with their experiences and contributions. Should be a lot more pleasant again going forward.

Not selling (yet), but thank you for the input. At least until the Dot2s come out, then I'll decide what to do. I have other cars inbound and save for the bucket list PCH trip, and fun factor aside, I haven't connected with the car 100% yet. Maybe I need to go to a DE or AutoX day and then take it from there.
Highway cruising and date nights in a GT cars get old fast... unless you are really into the 'look at me' aspect, but don't think you are.

These cars love to be driven, and driven hard. Give them what they want, and they'll reward you back.

And once you've experienced the glory of driving them near the limit on the track, they can feel underutilized and bored on the road - at least that's how it is for me with the 991.1 GT3. So maybe it's not a good idea to track the cars, if your main goal is to enjoy them on the road?
OTOH, I'm enjoying my 991.2 TTS on the road more after tracking it, because tracking it showed me how the car will behave near the limit (wonderfully), and that has increased my confidence when driving it hard on the road.
These different experiences with the GT3 vs TTS reinforce to me the thought that the GT3 is fundamentally a track car which can potentially be enjoyably driven on the road, whereas the TTS is fundamentally a road car which can enjoyably be tracked.

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for a recently joined poster called 'Murcielago Fellow' or something lol.

While I think DD went over the top wrt insulting people here that didn't think like him - I don't think that everyone else here was blameless. People who didn't pay ADM's are calling others "idiots" for paying ADMs. People saying the GT3 market is crashing and anyone who doesn't agree is just getting taken to the cleaners by "stealers" (isn't that a personal attack - do we not have dealers on this forum). People saying the market is going to MSRP or below and "attacking" others who don't agree. Lets not pretend that removing one guy (DD) is going to get this back to being completely civil or a respectful discussion.

FWIW, I didn't want to see him banned or even suspended, just wanted him to listen to the moderators and participate in discussions without being so confrontational. I'll speculate that he was banned not just because of his behavior in the threads, but also because he argued with moderators rather than listening to them - it usually takes a lot to get banned (I've been a moderator in cancer forums, where people have to make life and death decisions).
I suspect that he was using this forum as a channel to vent frustrations arising from things going on in his life, and I feel sorry for him. Probably not a bad person at heart.

Kidding aside, I track my touring multiple times a year and drive it every day in between and it is never boring.

I'd certainly like to try a manual 991 or 992 GT3. But since I'm using 991/992 GT cars for the track, I think PDK is fine for those, and I have other manual cars for the road.
