When my first kid arrived, I sold my 996 Turbo RS-Tuning (a car modded to my specs, amazing track tool, so sad I sold it) and got myself an E55 AMG. I thought by getting the E55 AMG, I would have something from both worlds, sports car and family mover. Wrong. Sold the E55 AMG after only 6 months and I really tried to like this car, even did some major AMG(!) mods at Affelterbach to the car, including a retrofitted rear axle cooling system, improved gearbox and steering software and speed limit raise with new tires (everything done at Affalterbach, no aftermarket stuff). Spent so much money for nothing, I still couldn't get used to it (after a tuned 996 Turbo).
So I went for a Cayenne Turbo instead as a family car and got back to the 911...a 997 Carrera S with 20 mm chassis and PCCB. This car was amazing, so much fun but then the 997 Turbo came...kept it five(!) years but it was tuned by RUF, so... ![indecision](http://www.rennteam.com/staticimages/graemlins/grin.gif)
Bottom line is: You lose a lot of money if you sell your sports car just because you got a kid. You will want a sports car again after a while, trust me.
