I sold my 993 Targa to buy a Pre-owned Sienna Minivan.

Everything seem to have worked out until a lien check was done on the Van.

No deal.......

I tried to make a deal on two more pre-owned Honda Oddeseys.......

Both accident claims worth more then the purchase price.

Then this became available.....

I couldn't resist the SPEEDYELLOW !!!!

It fits two child seats in the back !!!!! So much for the Mini-Van.
Very nice! Wish I went for Yellow. I love it!

Just think of the difference in your kids eyes, no kid wants to go for a drive in a minivan, they want to climb into daddy's Porsche! You don't get this with a minivan:

This is fantastic. I've had two failed attempts at fitting a car seat to the back of my car...can't wait to get my boy in it (or course he's only a year old so there's no major rush;-)

Similar issue: was looking for a 4 door sedan. Have test driven M5s, RS6s, and the like.. but my 1 year old loves his properly fitted carseat in the 911, and I love the car... so do I move on to something else or no? Seriously, I can't decide.

Sold my last car (2str) to buy something practical. Great minds think alike!

It does fit as he is only 6 and his pads are small, but if a day comes where it doesn't, he will be wearing some pads to the rink.

For those with young girls who figure skate, my girls Zuka fits pretty snugly, but it fits as well.

there is a lot of room on the passenger seat for a hockey bag. I had to look up Zuka...looks like it could scratch the seat.

I guess you could always go the roof rack and ski box method.

Just like a Zookie

The C4S is more fun to drive then the TT. Especially given our new 50 over=tow.

My TT was running high 500hp and gears didn't last very long. So to have fun, you would have to drive like an irresponsible *****. The C4S actually gives you an opportunity to rev through gears.

I've come to realize that I would rather drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow.

The TT always felt like I was idling along. As far as power goes... The C4S is in the farm league and the TT is a Wayne Gretzky.

I'd love to get back into a TT but it will have to wait until I'm done saving for the kids college fund.
