Exactly. I made that opportunity. That's how I can own a 44 ft sailboat, homes in FL and elsewhere, and 4 cars. It's all in the timing

Ha! Got me. No, I do not own AAPL. I got caught up in this MS/AAPL technical competition, and hated AAPL. So I allowed my emotion to rule my investment strategy and I missed a big ride. I still refuse to own any AAPL devices.....

Fundamentally, the 996 is in great shape with all we talked about many times over.

But it will be interesting to see if the collapse of crypto, tech and meme stocks will have any effect on near-term demand.

I'm faaaaaar from an expert, but I highly doubt it. There are many many people making money in many many different ways.

Besides, from my experience, the crypto crowd aren't interested in 20 year old bargain priced sports cars.

We have some machine operators on the floor with kids that don't know how to drive going into their later teens early 20's, let alone thinking about 20 year old sports cars.

Why do you think that is? Are you in a large urban area?

Not positive, maybe due to a mix of available conveniences (delivery services, Uber/Lyft, etc.). My one buddies daughter will literally order McDonalds delivery to avoid having to drive.


Nope, pretty standard suburban areas around Charleston. Even the ones that live in rural areas it's a toss up of whether their kids care about driving or not.

my macan turbo gets listed on carsandbids tomororw (just saying). I’ve DE’d my 996 a few times. I regret not putting the macan on track. That thing is a beast. I’m moving on to a bigger vehicle (X5M). Contemplating selling my 996 in spring… we’ll see. I’ve had it 5 years and don’t know if I’m ready to let it go

SUV’s on the track are so hard on consumables. They turn and stop but less turn and less stop. Reminds me of Sabine taking the van around the Ring. You can but why. Because she can silly. Better off taking it to the drag strip.
