Default Porscheless

The deal came out of nowhere. I was offered a fair price for my SC so I took it. I've had the car since 97 and pretty well replaced everything on it.
I've recently retired so I'm looking to get something more practical (with working A/C) for road trips.
I'll be honest with everyone I will miss the sound of that flat 6 engine.
I won't miss the puddles of oil in my garage

I agree, pretty soon he will be looking at the oil stain and having to hold back tears.

You do realize you're 23 days late for April fools, right?

See middle of this thread regarding Corvette purchase.

Actually, I have to admit from C6 on, the Corvettes are really nice cars. Even the C5 models are pretty nice.

Congrats on the sale.

I own a C6 Z06 and it's a great car. Talk about great sounds!! Hubby just started it to go for a ride (couldn't help but smile as I sat in the office and felt a slight vibration in the seat of my pants that is coming from the garage!)

It's a great performance value, bulletproof, and economical to maintain and drive (highway driving = 30 mpg in 6th at 1750 rpm doing 80 mph)

Different cars bring different joy! Congrats on retiring and best wishes on your new chapter!
