Default I'm back... :-)

Hello guys,

Just wanted to say a quick hello and show my "new" car.

A little history with pics.

993 with nice mods that I sold for the 997 GT3.
Sold the GT3 for a R8 STUPID Mistake.
Sold the R8 for a nice C2 in RS spec.
Sold the C2 for a nice 997 GT3 clubsport

Friendly advice for all GT3 owners:

NEVER sell your cars, nothing can touch it

All those cars are beautiful and look at your new seats. Nice!

Welcome back, I remember you posting here sometime back. I haven't seen leather seats in a club sport before, seats refinished?

Nice stable you have had, and welcome back.

That 993 is beautiful!

I plan to heed your advice on the GT3.

This hits home a little too hard (says the guy who sold his gt3 to get into a Gallardo!). Congrats.

Scott, can you give us some 20/20 hindsight. If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still have sold the GT3 for the Lambo? How is the Gallardo treating you and is it a fun car to drive?

Advice: Never sell the 997 GT3. It is the greatest analog sports car ever made.

Oh boy...Don't want to hijack this thread...gonna make a new one since I've gotten that question alot via pm and others are probably curious. Suffice it to say, its complicated (as in very, very complicated!). I've honestly never been so conflicted about my current car situation. Usually I have complete clarity, know exactly what I want, and don't look back. Not this time. The fact that I still spend so much time perusing rennlist should tell you something. The simply answer is: I need more money so I don't have to make these hard choices!
