Default Would Phil G rather Sell the Car then Drive it !

Here are some recent posts...

HMMMMM, what IS he thinking

"600! Interested in an '04 C4S with 3100 miles that's absolutely new? Just happen to have one here languishing - I mean "sitting" - in my garage! :cheers"

"Rem - very nice car, nice colors and well-equipped. Of course it has 36K miles (as opposed to 3K) but for the money it sounds like a good deal. Look it over carefully, and have a full PPI done before you put down a cent on it. Good luck. Sure you don't want mine for a mere $17K more?? "

"I'd consider an offer in that in that range for mine, and it's an '04 with 3K miles, flawless, nicely equipped, and CPO'd til 2010. I think $52K is a little high for an '05 with 25K miles. Price obvioulsy also depends on color, equipment and condition. Happy hunting!! "

The correct answer is #4 (which you haven't listed): "All of the above." I think I just have a very bad case of the winter blues. Once Spring comes and the weather improves, I will put the top down on my TT, and drive the Porsche on the weekends. Well, my version of "driving" anyway. Unless I got a really solid offer for the car, I wouldn't sell it - not in this market. Everytime I think about selling it, I look at what I've got, take it for a spin, and think - this is the really one of the nicest cars out there.

That being said, given the above choices, #3 is the most correct one.

i don't think phil would be able to find a suitable replacement. . .unless he found an '08 with fewer miles.

I screwed this up last night, we had a streak of #3's going then "I GOT CONFUSED" LOL and deleted it ... I thought maybe it was too much and thought i wasnt sure anyone would see the humor... and I surely did not want to offend Phil.. just wasnt sure I was the right guy for this gag...

Morning Phil !!
LOL
Glad to see you smiling

#4 Phil forgets he actually owns a Porsche since the TT looks like a pcar.

Too funny! I was actually thinking something similar about how it sounds like you have some type of love / hate relationship with the car Phil and want to get rid of it but don't.

I don't think Phil has a love/hate relationoship with his car. I think it is more of a love/ignore relationship.

Wow - Phil's car comes of CPO in less than a year.. what a complete waste of money to buy a car just so you can look at it and tell people you own it.. it still isn't even broken in yet, and has cost him tens of thousands of dollars just to sit in his garage. Amazing. and Sad.

What was the point in buying it?

You're alright Phil!

But do you ever sit in the car in the garage at night and make driving noises?

Kind of like "virtual miles?"

I've stopped telling people I own it. I really do love owning it though, even though it's driven under 1K/year. This is not the first car I've done this with. But seriously, try not to be so judgmental - just because I own certain cars for a different reason than you might doesn't make it wrong. We all do strange stuff.

Nope - I love it and think about it all the time. I just don't drive it a whole lot.

Oh, give Phil a break!

He's snowed in, and probably has the winter blues right now.

Correct on both counts! I have to admit when I see my name in the title of a post, I start to sweat.

By the way, I don't like the way this poll is going. Even though I voted for #3 myself!!

Looking forward to seeing you on the spring run Phil... show these guys that you can break 1k per yer. 2 /3 runs should get you passed that marker.
