Iconic Mezger vs. Early-1999
Which would you keep and why: early-1999 in unicorn color w/#408 wheels versus 996TT in unicorn color? Both nearly perfect and low relative low miles.
Won't park a 911 outside (even under cover) so gotta get the DD wagon inside for winter or send one of these cuties off to storage.
Thoughts? Iconic Mezger vs. Early-1999 its a real conundrum, at least to me
Thanks in advance for constructive ideas

That is the traditional approach, yes. But having spent nearly twenty years driving these time bomb's without issue I've gotten sort of..

This isn't even close. The TT always has been and always will be the more valuable car. Even accounting for the recent "early 99" fetish on this board.

I'm in DC so I'm with you. The amount of snow we've seen over last few years is laughable at best. With that your cars are do not appear to be museum pieces so I'd quit stressing over it, use them as cars and enjoy them as meant to be. Rust is not an issue with them unless you seriously neglect, which doesn't seem like you would. My 40th AE gets used all 12 months and puts a smile on my face all 12 months.
