"What would you give up your Porsche for?

N11Porsche · N11Porsche's Garage

I am an avid cyclist and while out doing a 102 mile ride today I was thinking: If I had to choose between giving up the Porsche and giving up the 2 road bikes and 1 mountain bike (and cycling) which would I do without. I decided as much as I like the Porsche I couldn't give up cycling and the Porsche would go. Now, I know this is hypothetical but is there anything you guys would give up the Porsche for, to continue pursuing?

With a Porsche you can always get chicks, get where ya want and not get wet when it rains.....unless ya have a leaky Targa....

A bike will get you in shape, but won't get ya laid, and looks stupid while riding with a business suit or a nomex race suit and helmet.....

Just my first thought....

The answer is...not much!

Well, I would give up the p-car habit for while to buy a house (and probably will need to.) Unfortunately both of my current p-cars together would probably only raise enough cash for 10% of a downpayment the way the damn real-estate prices are around here. Sigh...guess I'll just keep 'em then.

The first offer of $10K or greater. For Christ's sake, it's just a car.

I guess I'll be the first to give a model other than a Porsche. But I would give my 911 up in a second for this car. Ferari Modena 360.

Just a car???? A Volvo is just a car.

A 360 Modenna? No-no. But a Daytona ragtop? Condition of cars equal? In a heartbeat! (to the uninitiated, I ain't talking Dodge here.)

$16,500.

I've got more females hanging on me than I can deal with.

Clay, I don't think you can afford the maintenance on that.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I'd sure like to take her out for few laps....

God, that woman is gorgeous.

Gave up my '67 911 for family in 1975. Then bought the same car back in 1990 and restored it. You just can't stay away!

There isn't a lot of things that could make me give up pocketrocket.

I'll take the bike though!!
