Well you won't have to worry about the ML option in a Porche Those things are so noisy that you could not hear a boombox in one.

Definitely not true. Porsches have gotten quieter and quieter with every model revision because of strict European noise restrictions. They are in fact so quiet now that one of the chief complaints of most late model Porsche owners is that the exhaust is too quiet. One of first mods done by most guys is an aftermarket exhaust. It was the first thing I did on my 996 and again the first thing I did on my 997S. Also, contrary to what you would think, 997s come with some pretty decent systems these days. My 997S has the Bose option and surprisingly, it sounds pretty damn good. It actually has a sub that hits harder than the ML sub in my GS.

I was reading another post that this guy resoponded to about age....he started talking about being a 26yr old attorney. My step dad is an attorney and just from the little bit that I know about this guy they are the same. Attorney love to talk about themselves.

hey bro congrats on your first year of being an attorney and congrats on making 140k your first year. How was college? personally i barely graduated high school now I manage a mortgage company and made 265k my first year. If you want to brag you are in the wrong place bro..... come on now. And by the way im 22 yrs old, get some.....

Eh, they are pretty good on performance. Sound system in the 996TT (2002) had some wicked bass though for stock, great rock sessions in those. Unless you go for GT3 or GT2 (GT3's are sold out for at least next 6 months, The RS's are already all spoken for last I heard), you won't have distinguished yourself from your comrades. Now those sound good, so do CGT's, love seeing those running around and at the track.

But which Porsche would you trade for? Because only a true baller would go for at least a 997 Turbo :sarcasm:
Be careful, bragging will surely you get knocked a peg, at least at my college there is always someone with a way nicer car.

that was cute....im sure it took you a few minutes to think of that one. how the beach house? I would be more than happy to look at the loan you currently have and see if I could save you money so you can afford that porsche

paid cash...im a first year lawyer but i actually worked for 5 years (i graduated college early and started early) working for a mortgage company, and made over 300k my first year. I actually decided to go to law school b/c 1)got a full ride and 2) i wanted to find something more intellectually stimulating and challenging no offense but that is the truth. =)

sorry guys i dont mean to stray off topic but knicker brought it up...anyhow i went to the local porsche dealership today and they offered me a great deal on a 2006 4S, it was still quite loud but i guess that was because i am so used to the quietness of the lex. I am gonna think about it some more but i am considering just adding the porsche to the collection and maybe just keep the GS.

hahahahaha.....so you chose law? Bro, you are a character thats for sure.....if you consider law stimulating your missing alot in life my friend. I worked in a law firm for years and it was terrible in my opinion. Maybe it was just me, but law there is to much stress and all you do is Regurgitate info. Bro I am no trying to be a **** at all, I just think its amazing that in every post you are talking about your beach house and the porsche you want to buy. I am planning on buying a lambo but that is not the reason why we post on this board. We are here because we own lexus's and we appreciate the car. Not because we are young lawyers who say they paid cash for a beach house. But hey who am I.
