Meh. I like Porsches now, but I can't get behind the 911. For as much as the Turbo S costs, I'd rather have something that looks more exclusive, like an R8. Or a Cayman S and another car.

I've seen many. They get boring after awhile. R8 over it any day of the week.

Maybe if we group buy a couple we can get a discount

They never get boring for me. :P

yeah, I see a couple porsches a day in my area, nothing special to me.

Yeah? So what! :P

Didn't say there was anything wrong with that!

I agree love them. Now when we talk V10's the debate gets complicated for me... but that's a more money

It's my favorite car of all time, the 911, so I have to disagree.

I could see you getting behind that car ;)

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > uofime 07/18/2014 at 17:39

The only V10 I need. :)

Aside from this one...

Logically, I'd take the Gallardo.

I would never buy a Turbo S either. Not exclusive enough for the money. Still a super beetle.

I do gusta 911s though. Not as supercars. Just as nice sports cars.

The worst thing about the 911 is that it's not exclusive.

The best thing about the 911 is that it's not exclusive.

You can hop in a 911 and just drive without causing a commotion. That's a good thing. If I had a rare and exotic looking car I don't think I'd want to drive it everyday even if I could afford the depreciation that comes with putting that many miles on it. I just wouldn't want to attract that much attention. Sometimes it's nice to blend into traffic.

Behind? ;)

Or behind....

So you like Orange Gallardo's?

This is the best deal I've seen on an Orange Gallardo:

Look at the mileage!

And look at the transmission!

ERMEHGERD!!!

Thank you Raptor Jesus for bestowing upon me what is simply a V10 Lambo with a bitchin manual! THANK YOU!! :D

And it's AWD so it can be your winter beater!

Yes, and yes, thought I'm pretty sure the v10 in the r8 is the same as the one in the Gallardo

Maybe you're right about the Turbo S. That car is so far and forever will be, out of my league, but have you ever driven a 911, even a base model? They are like no other car I have ever driven. I want one so bad and I'm trying to be good and save up for it, but it's killing me. Just drive one, nobody will ever be able to explain why the car feels the way it does. Even if your co-host Jeremy Clarkson calls you a wanker, you'll still want one. Maybe they're not exclusive but nobody will be bothering you for your autograph either and you actually get to drive it rather than worrying about bugs marring the finish and ruining the resale value.

I'd still take the Gallardo. I don't like the R8. Looks weird.

what a tough choice. I wish I actually could make it haha

All of the yes!!!

I chose based on looks and practicality.

The performance envelope of the Turbo S is completely wasted on the street.

Just give me a Targa 4S 7MT. To me that is the perfect 911.

Count me in. Make mine a Turbo S in White.

I need car advice again.. -_-

Shoot!

I need to take doge to the vet but I can probably reply from my phone when there

Logically and financially, which of these would be cheaper to own, run?

I can't into logic on this one!

I LOVE the 318

If was my first car

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/18/2014 at 19:35

YOU MUST! BECAUSE K-ROLL!!

Manuél Ferrari > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 07/18/2014 at 19:43

Rusto logic says 318

Because best affordable car ever made!!

Good gas mileage

Timing chain instead of belt

Engine that is so tough it was boosted to over 1000 hp in the turbo version in the F1 car

Awesome but simple suspension

Must buy

Must buy!

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/18/2014 at 19:46

What you think of Mustang?

Can 318 be made to have more power?

Manuél Ferrari > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 07/18/2014 at 19:56

1

I like it

But I can never betray ze 318 when it comes to affordable RWD driving pleasure. It would be like you betraying ze 911!

No you can't cheaply add power. You'd have to add forced induction. But that ruins it. The point is to have an affordable winter beater!

I see. I'm very conflicted about this one. Also another thing I noticed driving home tonight. I will make two separate posts on the matter after dinner.

My E30 318i was seriously the best car I ever owned.

Obviously not the fastest. But it was the BEST.

The little bugger refused to die! He got so old that he was embarrassing to drive around. But he still ran when I gave him to my uncle.

I should have kept him and repainted him...
