Why? They are not paying the insurance, are they? ( Which, granted, can be steep on a Porsche....or ANY 2-seater, especially for a young man ).

You must therefore make your dreams come true, or else why have them?

Your wife can drive your mother in the SC and you can drive your dad in the Porsche. Simple.

Sticker was over $100k, they were asking $92K and I think I could have had it for 89 or so. It was a REAL tough decision, especially considering that I could have had it today, versus waiting until Oct for my 650 to arrive.

I really like the 997 and see one in my future, it as well as the BMW 6 have always been on my radar and the 6 won this time around.
so gene, what's the ultimate design that made you continue to wait for the 6 rather than going with the 911s?

and paul, now that's what i called a solution! -- wait, don't even get me started

BTW: I just received the "Production number" for my 650i. Not much there yet but a confirmation of color and options. What is real cool is when they start building the car, I'll be able to watch the prgress.
so it seems like you kinda prefer some sort of "bigger" cars still huh? glad that you got the production number already, i am sure you gonna check on their site very often now 1 1/2 month is very short time!

well, continue my dream on these cars

Calm down, chief....just asked a question. I don't know your parents or anything about them. You just mentioned that they would be very mad about you getting a two seater...I wondered if it had something to do with insurance. Perhaps it is none of my buisness...if so, then, OK.... I'm sorry I brought the matter up..

LOL. Henry was just joking around. I don't think he got heated at all at your remarks. Maybe he should have used the smilies instead. Don't sweat it mm.
