    ....now that I am still enjoying my 964C2, I would also like a 1964 Ferrari 250GT Lusso!

    Re: What would you get after your Porsche?

    I looked at the Italian stable, especially the 430....but, I like to do some miles on my cars and I just cant see a 430 being practical...so its only one choice for me, the 997 Turbo.

    Ordered and waiting

    Re: What would you get after your Porsche?

    i swapped my 996 GT3 RS for the F430. highly recommended!

    but i miss my old 996 C2 in terms of daily usability, even during winter. porsche is unmatched in this field.

    Re: What would you get after your Porsche?

    Porsche cars are known for durabilities, reliabilities and its timeliness qualities... and practicalities too. F430 is a smart looking car but I find Ferraris stylings to grow old given times and Porsche does have a timeliness quality to all its cohorts. F430 maybe a good choice but practicality wise, a Porsche will always win while keeping some extra changes for the mortgage... haven't even finished paying the damn thing off.

    If you switch to Ferrari, don't forget to budget for all the Ferrari clothing and accessories with which many owners seem to drape themselves.
    Why don't I see this amongst Porsche or Lambo owners?

    LOL!!!! That just means that Ferrari people are basically wealthy versions of Corvette people!!!!

    (And then they all ride Harleys together, draped in all THAT garb..."Look at me, I'm a rough and tumble outlaw...really, look at me....please....")

    Re: What would you get after your Porsche?

    This is a no brainer fellas.I did not want to get what I would get after I bought my Porsche so I bought some CONDOMS. I'm happy to report that after a year and
    20,000 miles the car is still clean and so am I. LOL

    Now that you are enjoying a Porsche 997, what would be your dream car now?

    Is it an F430?
    Or a Gallardo?
    Maybe a DB9?

    Tell us what brand would you like to own next? If you want to stick with Porsche, that's fine as well, just indicate which model?



    My dreamcar would be a Lamborghini Murcielago, especially the new upcoming facelift model with more power and some other goodies.
    But since I can't afford it (money, neighborhood, etc.), I stick with a 997 Turbo. This doesn't mean I don't like the 997 Turbo. I just would love to drive something more "spectacular" and "mean" at the same time, a Ferrari is not my thing, too stylish, too beautiful (you get used to perfect beauty very fast). Aston Martin was never my thing, I don't know, I see an English Lord in it but not myself in jeans and sneakers.

    So if I ever win the lottery (which I don't play...unfortunately ), I would go with a Lambo but since I have to work hard for my money and since I have to take care that I don't create too much envy around my neighborhood, I stick with Porsche. And of course I would miss YOU guys over here.

    FYI: Euromillions is at 88 this week people. So a great chance to fill your garage full (as well as your passenger seat) of goodies.

    Re: What would you get after your Porsche?

    Well I need a new truck since my current Range Rover has almost 260,000 km on it, so a new Overfinch Range Rover Supersport looks like it could be fun... 500bhp & 525ft/lbs and looks much better than the Cayenne.

    ...


    My dream car is still my Porsche. But I do need a second more practical car that will carry people, luggage, triathlon bike...

    Either an Audi A3 or a BMW X3. Dream car? I guess I lowered my standards.
