I didn't make this post this to argue with you.

I found the car boring, porky, and not to my liking.

Certainly not as fun as the early cars.

It's easily 500 pounds overweight, and has a lot of stuff that sports cars don't need. But then it's a GT car now, so what do I know.

To each his own.

I've driven 1,000 different kinds of cars, most of which are not to my liking. Should I start a thread for each one of them?

What exactly is the point of you making this post? Are there car dealers in your area advertising lots of 993's for sale? Just curious.

It is just a gut feeling I have, and it's not just about the newer 911s. It's all the newer enthusiast cars.

They are just, I guess uninspiring it the right word, to me. I've been around, and involved with sports cars since I started driving, and these cars now just make me yawn, and it has nothing to do with their speed or performance envelope, nor a glut of them on the market, which there certainly is not in my area.

My post was simply prompted by my employer getting the car in question recently, and from putting several hundered miles on it myself.

It is better than his Cayenne though... What a waste of the Porsche nameplate that boat is.

Ah well.

At least my motorcycle is still fun.

..or a Panamera, what an abortion on wheels!!!

but then there is the 918, hehe

well if you have the money

now what the cheapest new car with no hood?

i passed the psicological tests

if you really think about im not actually crazy just dare to think without prejudge

I used to drive an MG Midget, the last generation model with 1500cc engine, daily for fun. It had an after-market carberetor, from Italy, a popular replacement for the lousy English carb. Also a sport (loud) exhaust. It was a very light car in spite of being loaded down with both luxuries: a heater and an AM/FM cassette stereo. I logged over 40k miles in it, for fun. Crossed 16 states + Ontario, from Miami to Toronto and back, for fun. So what did it prove, that I'm better than someone who drives a Cayenne? No, it proved I was stupid and lucky, and with a shameful disregard for my own life and the lives of my passengers.

I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to say? :confused:

oh i understand that mentality

on my 25 after a bicicle i got a ktm 500 cc with 50 horsepower

then i got a suzuki gs500 and destroyed my leg

thats like i put my life in risk but not others just for fun

then once you realize you may get paralized reason kicks in

my next bike will be a yamaha special 250cc

having fun playing but playing safe

unless theres a cheap car with no hood
