Well, part of my plan calls for this vehicle to only be around for a few years. My research seemed to indicate that the car seats I have should fit, although I'd be sure to test that just in case. That said, it is another reason the 1M is a better choice (along with the seemingly non-existent depreciation). I was just too slow in getting my stuff in order and missed out on a local 1M which should have been mine. But so it goes.
I should also note that for anything other than a quick trip from school, or for when my son wants to go in the race car (which he most certainly will) the wife's family hauler will always be the primary for trips to the park/grocery store/emergency room/follow up doctor visits/etc.
I drove past a dealer on the way home and saw some used 997s. I saw a brown one that looked really nice. It said GTS on it. Then I noticed centerlock wheels and something in my brain made me realize that this would be over my budget. Holy hell- those are expensive. Why not just get a GT3 at that point?
