That's the plan, that's the experiment.
With so many potholes, we will find out for sure if the new 997 is reliable or not
You know what my thoughts are but maybe it works out for you. I truely hope so.
I had several sports cars (well, not expensive like the 997) in your city and the best cars proved to be a Isuzu Trooper off-roader and a Mercedes 190 E 2.6. The Mercedes was seriouly damaged in winter time when I backed the car a little bit to park it, only to find out that I just fell with the whole rear axle inside a small pit which was hidden under the snow.
Damage: I needed a new rear axle and you can imagine how complicated it was to get one and to install it correctly more than 12 years ago.
The Cayenne Turbo would have been the perfect car for you but maybe people just have to live their dream and I understand you very well. But I also have the feeling that you never actually drove a Cayenne Turbo.
It is by far more sporty than some of the so called sports cars out there.
I'm not so worried about fuel quality, you can get Shell V-Power at many Shell stations around the country. I was there more than two years ago and always found a Shell fuel station. I'm more worried about tire damage, rim damage, undercarriage damage and maybe envy damage.
Driving the car in winter time? You can't be serious.
Ask ADAS how much they're willing to pay you if the car is damaged, especially by somebody else, you'll have a bad surprise.
But what is life without taking risks?
