You ever just have something you want to do, but have no idea how to accomplish said goal. Like I just want to experience a 930 Turbo in a completely original state. I want to feel the turbo lag, I want to experience the driving style, and I want to just know what that would have been like to just own one for a day. I know people make them “better” or safer, but I just want to drive a bone stock one. I couldn’t even find on on Turo and there is no way in hell I can afford one right since Haggerty currently values a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo 930 (coupe) at $165,000... Why?! Arg.... anyway. Idk, just rambling about something I’ll do one day.

I want a 300SL Gullwing. Badly. I first saw one in a book as a kid, and I’ve been in love since then, but never been able to entertain it as a remotely realistic thing to achieve due to the price. Even seeing one in person was a big deal, and riding in one would be amazing. So that could be something to do, but what I really want is to own one. Short of winning a lottery, or a total collapse in classic car values, it sadly won’t happen.

I haven’t yet used this company but they have some awesome cars and I have done similiar drives with other companies. Pretty affordable when you consider it a dream car.
