I have owned two 992 cars. and both are great cars
I bought my first Porsche 911 992 on 2-1-2020.. I loved that car. It was a special car:
And then my dealer offered me an opportunity to order a 2022 Tubo ((it got here as a 2023 Porsche Turbo). WTF? I have owed two of the best Porsche 911's ever made?
There is nothing like a Porsche that can build speed so fast as a Porsche 911.will.
Most all of you younger guys need a Toyota 4-door sedan.
As a man of 68 years and (7) 911's since the age of 23, I can say with all honesty that the YOUNG guys have the most fun with their Porsches. I drove my first one 210,000 miles in 3 years (a used 1970 911e), my current 992 is 2.5 years old and has only 6.500 miles on it. The time to get a Porsche is when you are young and full of beans, with few obligations and can go adventure on a whim. And I do mean whim. I recall one day at Florida State University when we thought it was a good idea to drive out to Colorado and buy as much Coors beer as we could fit in the car. Back in the early 70's, Coors was non-pasteurized and had limited distribution. So we did, a round trip from Florida to Colorado in my Silver 911 as fast as we could go, it was just a beer run. We had a CB radio (see the antenna?) and a Fuzzbuster on the dash. That was an adventure! And the 911E went pretty fast for having just 155 HP, the two of us drove over 100 mph most the way. We returned to the dorm to a hero's welcome.
Another time we drove to Sebring FL to watch the races, and slept in the 911 sitting upright in the seats with the car parked right near the main straight because we had no money for a hotel. There are no old guys sleeping in their 911's.
Most us older guys have the money to buy what we want and I am more likely to climb in my Cayenne GTS because - it's more comfortable and easier to get in and out of, something that made no matter when I was limber, thin and in my 20's. So yeah, you young guys go get your Porsche now and do something a little reckless with it. Don't PPF it, Don't ceramic coat it. DRIVE IT. DRIVE IT FAST. Burn the tires up, Go make a impromptu thousand mile drive or something like that with your buddies just to go see a sunrise over a glacier. Make memories before you get married, and have that house mortgage and kids.
Us old guys will be out polishing our 992's on a Sunday saying how special they are to anyone who will listen and tell you how fast they are, even though we don't really do adventures any longer.
F*ck the Toyota 4-door sedan, you can get one of those when you have the second kid.
