CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

I hate to say this, but I'm glad you listened to me and others who recommended you get the Porsche and of course your heart! You are my hero!!! When I grow up, I want to have a 997S too!

That's because you live in trendy Oakville buddy..

All kidding aside I have to agree extremely with Hameed on this one. The Porsche 997S is absolutely the ride to have if you are comparing it to the E55.. Wish I had money like that to be comparing these two cars. Best of luck DrDrilZ with your new 997S.

Have you ever thought of having 2 cars instead of 3 & get one that's more exotic like a 911? Sometimes, I wonder about that myself, whether I should get something like a Mazda 3 as a beater so I can get something like a 997S or a SL

we have thought about that long long time ago, and we agree completely with you.

IF we were living together, we would have keep say the gs4 or ls430, and then just have the 911 turbo in the garage already

the fact that we are living separate and need a car to drive every day, we couldn't afford anything with less than perfect reliability. you see what i am saying?
