Sad Day I Sold My Baby

targa4me · 06:32 PM

Well its sold. Yep I sold her and yes Im very sorry. I just found it too hard to play the game with mechanics..opted for the simple life and sold my baby.

Drove a few cars on the weekend:

MX5
AUDI A4
BMW 318

Conclusion: Nothing compares to a 911.

That sucks....... hows the 318 to the audi?

Check out a late 325iS or better yet 328iS. Lots of tuning room and good base performance and reliability. Loads more fun than a 318 and still gets the same mpg.

Good luck

I've got an A4, and it doesn't compare...except in the snow!

Hmmm, IF I were to go non-Porsche, I'd seriously consider the new 350Z Track Prepped version. 280HP and a track-prepped suspension. IMHO, Audi = overpriced BMW = everybody has/wants one (silver).....Or, buy a newer Porsche

Always sad to hear when someone has to let go of their baby.

Well it's someone else's treasure now. A beamer sounds good to me, a couple of my friends have 325s and they're pretty solid.

You're down under??? Gads, I'd also take a peek at that hot v-8 powered GM offering down there...and I'm not talking Corvette.

What the heck, car salesmen love giving demonstration drives. Memory fades, forget the name...but I read rumors it'll be dressed up some, brought up here to be sold as the "new" Pontiac GTO.

I believe the new Chevy is called the SSR? I don't know if its out yet, looks like a pickup, maybe a modern el camino?
I would get another 911

Or a mid engine porsche like the 914.

Does anyone have a good lead on a 993? I am now looking and ready to buy the right car!

You'd be talking about the the Holden Monaro. Yes it will be exported to the States. Not a bad beast if I may so but not as refined as the BMW/AUDI lines.

That's the car...The USA baby boomer Hot-Rod set are drooling at the thought of it arriving up here. Supposedly loaded with torque...a great 1/4 mile machine. GM seems to think it will compete with the Mustang, since they dropped the Camaro & Firebird...So, I'm thinking it will be marketed in both Chevrolet and Pontiac versions up here. Time will tell.

RECENTLY SOLD MY 89 SILVER ANNIVERSARY AS MY WIFE RETIRED AND WE HAD TOO MANY CARS. NOW HAVE 01 C5 CONVERT AND 01 XTERRA BUT JUST BEGAN LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER P CAR.
NO MATTER WHAT OTHER CARS YOU HAVE, THE 911'S JUST BRING A HARMONY TO LIFE.

ANY 964'S OR 993'S OUT THERE FOR SALE, PREFER COUPE WITH LIGHT COLOR INTERIOR. ANY EXT COLOR BUT BLACK.

Geez... is it me, or does the front-end of the Holden look just like the Mustang!!?? No wonder they feel like it will compete! While we are on the subject, have any of you read about the new Mustang SVT Cobra? They are adding the supercharger that the Lightning uses- should be a demon.
