With batting an eye? I seem to recall someone crying like a baby ...

Chris you have the perfect opportunity at Calabogie during the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge this weekend, with lots of PCNA brass in attendance to personally help place your PTS 4.0 order!

pretty much depreciate and life is too short to mess around.

Of course mine would be PTS Mexico Blue and I would have done euro delivery so I could take it to the Ring ... and it would have been worth every penny just for that experience alone ...

Yours Dissapointed

Agreed. I learned many years ago that resale is irrelevant if you're not going to resell. I put all that depreciation money into building a larger man-cave/garage so I can just keep everything. Haven't sold any cars in years. I'm a hoarder ("*****"-der?).

Nauseous, I think... but it's nothing personal.

I'm a very deserving cause; you wont have to put me through college, I wont bring any laundry home ... I wont borrow money ... I may however occasionally want to borrow the car!

We'll see. The price of entry is putting me off. I'm just not feeling the love.

To be honest I'm thinking condo in Florida.

But you'd end up wanting to borrow ALL the cars. And I doubt I want to see you all suds-up in a kilt doing detail duties.

See... now I'm nauseous again.

I was offered one at msrp, but it was
already specced......not to my liking, I passed, somebody else bought it. This was 3 weeks ago, I think they can be had at msrp if you have the scratch , and will take what they have available.
