And that's a wrap

40 Awesome months. Car was amazing - dare I say the perfect daily... well maybe not on those really snowy days here in Chicago. I think these cars are built to last and it would have run without issues for many years. Hoping the next guy enjoys it as much as I did.

Always confused by the giving up of that which you deem perfect. Sometimes I think people chase the car that got away stories.

doug_999 · 05-19-2021, 05:32 AM

Well, I did say the F80 was the perfect daily, not the perfect car.

Doug, I'm in Chicago. Can we be friends?

M3Diaz · 05-19-2021, 06:54 AM

I was about to ask why would you get rid of such a perfect daily and then I scrolled down.....you win my friend.

FatHulk · 05-19-2021, 07:43 AM

Love everything about the 911 you picked out! Enjoy the new ride and I'm sure it will make you smile!

In my opinion you succeeded finding the perfect car. Love the exterior/ interior color combo. Good luck!

Yea. That and the Targa are really hard to find. Rumor has it, a few days of calling around can often lead to a nice surprise. Alas sometimes that surprise is the mark up some dealers are slapping on there.

Nice car. Is that Kevin McAllister's street?

Mojoman · 05-20-2021, 07:25 AM

Beautiful car. Congratulations!

Ha! I do live in the Chicago area... but to be totally honest, I took the pictures of the 911 in front of my friends house in Elmhurst. He has a much nicer house than me. The M3 pictures are at my house.

NickyC · 05-20-2021, 02:08 PM

Sick car, that interior is dope. Congrats!!

petar7408 · 05-20-2021, 02:51 PM

Yes, a good trade indeed! My budget tops out at the m3 though LOL

Nice upgrade!

P.S. Thanks for fixing the annoying typo in the title...

I had to have an admin do that

Drove me crazy - I'm like "HOW DID I DO THAT?"

It is a car I've always wanted. An older friend of mine came by my office in January and said "you have talked about this car for years, go get it - don't wait until you are 60"

Funny story is that he bought his first ever brand new car based on my advice, at age 60. Convertible mustang that he still drives today - at 75.

He likes to tell people - I gave Doug the same advice he gave me - it is just that my advice cost him $125K more...

To edit a post title you have to click "Edit" and then click "Go Advanced". This will allow you to edit not only the body of your post but also the title. I've done this a few times!

I don't think that works if you "start" the thread. I tried everything.

The title edits have been acting funky lately. I tried changing my for sale post for my HRE R101 LW over 20 times and even tried diff browsers and my laptop. No luck. I reached out to Jason the admin but never heard back. It still bothers me its in lowercase.

Btw, stunning 992! God willing that's what I want next as well!
