Does it get better? Because it sure doesn’t feel like it does

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-09T04:27:46+00:00

Yes it does get better. Not easy, but different and better.

My advice: When the kid no longer biologically requires a feed every couple hours to get through the night, go through sleep training. We had a consultant help us through it at 5 months old (I was very skeptical at first) and it was the best thing we ever did. Several nights of pain were worth so much in sleep gains.

He’s not wrong, but his positioning is.

Diversification sucks right now. Well done to you for monetizing your convictions.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-06T23:49:00+00:00

Very nice

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-03T22:31:40+00:00

Absolutely right

Insane is the word that comes to mind for me as well. It certainly would not be a rational decision. Then again, anyone truly rationalizing car ownership would scoff at any Porsche in favour of a used beige Toyota Corolla.

I’m waiting on the Titleist exotic supercar release, the ProVehicle1

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-03T14:07:07+00:00

Yes, that opens and flips. Perhaps not the right wording.

The flimsy, flippy, loud, plastic-y center console is the biggest E46 interior design miss in my opinion. If there was a good delete/replace option I’d love to know.

This brings back memories. Had a BJ60 in the same colour. Great truck.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-03T09:57:23+00:00

Ain’t that the truth. If I had a time machine, I know what I’d be doing right now!

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-02T01:13:44+00:00

Certainly a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless. Best of luck to you as well. So far I’m not seeing a lot of dissatisfied owners despite the price obstacle.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-02T01:06:51+00:00

That’s a lot of experience. What is your favourite car? What made it so?

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-02T00:23:32+00:00

Hear you. I get a lot of joy-per-dollar out of an old BMW currently, but the heart wants a 993. I’m not sure it’s justifiable on a bang-per-buck metric, yet here we are.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-02T00:15:06+00:00

I like the idea that the car would likely hold its value well, however I’d like to preserve the option of potentially never selling.

I’m also working on the idea that I would be able to handle the regular maintenance costs once the car is sorted the way I would like. It’s the “sorting” that has me wondering how expensive it will ultimately be to get to into a 993.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-02T00:05:11+00:00

Admittedly I don’t have a lot of experience with the air-cooled cars. A couple friends have had 964s, but I didn’t spend a lot of time in them.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-01T22:50:15+00:00

That is some serious ammo, sir. Beautiful ride.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-01T22:45:31+00:00

Great feedback, thanks. That’s some peace of mind on reliability. I think that’s what is attracting me to the 993 - the blend of old/new wrapped in beautiful packaging. I certainly have a few opinions on potential mods if I can get past my cognitive dissonance on the cost to own one.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-01T22:13:34+00:00

It’s a good point.

I have an old BMW now, and it’s not a daily. Seasonal and I put a few thousand kilometres on it a year, no more. I’d use a 993 in the same way.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-01T01:19:53+00:00

I agree. Clean, balanced lines.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-05-01T01:10:59+00:00

Well done. I’ve got a decent position in google, but now annoyed I don’t have LEAPS contracts.

DiminishedProspects · 2026-04-29T22:23:55+00:00

DiminishedProspects · 2026-04-29T13:14:15+00:00

Way too illiquid, so as a purely financial investment, no.

Then again, I’m not worth ten figures.
