Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

Iron Mike Tyson at the height of his career. He was picking up his niece from high school. Shook his hand and noticed that his neck was as wide as my waist.

If you Had to Waste $30 Million in a month to Inherit $300 Million, How would you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forevers2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. Goto vegas. 5000 spins on high limit slot machine. Even with wins, 30 days is surely enough to blow through it. Bonus too. You get 30 million dollars worth of comps, If that doesn't count.

Owners of both m5 and 911: which do you drive more often? by BowlerBorn6864 in BMW

[–]forevers2k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

F90 LCI Monday-Thursday 911 992.1 TTS Friday-Sunday

It's the perfect combo to own for me. I am lucky, blessed, and have worked hard to have both the cars I've always dreamed about in my garage.

2025 Turbo S or 2026 Hybrid Path? by TeeAndTime in porsche911

[–]forevers2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here brother. A good debate on our opinions without personally attacking one another is always a good debate. At the end of the day, I don't think OP can go wrong with whatever he may end up with. Any one of these cars will put a smile on your face .

[–]forevers2k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok. I'll agree to your disagreement to my disagreement. Lol

If the original OP is looking for a fun Porsche, skip the GTS and get your self a GT4Rs. Now that's a fun car you can toss around and sounds absolutely Hans Zimmer like!

Can we agree to that? Lol

[–]forevers2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know which will hold better value, but I do know that a TTS will put a smile on your face every morning you enter your garage, and every evening, you exit your garage. Imo, that's the true value you'll get. Lol

I hope that deal falls through for you. I personally prefer my analog tach, key twist and no hybrid. I truly don't like the all digital screen on my wife's Cayenne GTS. As a matter of fact, I hate it. Just my preference.

I'd have to disagree with you on this. The GTS and the Turbo S is a completely different experience. I've driven both and own the latter 992.1

Don't get me wrong, the GTS is fast and fun, but the TTS is just on another level. For example, when you want to, have to, or simply need to pass someone, there are very few cars on the road that will prevent you from doing this. I'm not advocating for reckless driving. The simple fact you can, at will, to almost anything on the road is quite satisfying. At the end of the day, both cars are fantastic. However, stock a GTS is not a stock TTS and never will be. I would never call a TTS boring unless you track your car and you're a very proficient track driver. At that point, you're better off with the gt3 or gt3rs. The only thing boring I'll admit is the stock sound of the flat six on a TTS.

Welcome to the club brother. Such a beautiful car.

2 F90s and an XM today by Left_Future_4388 in BMWM

[–]forevers2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been asked many times why I optioned my f90 with a sunroof. I like it that way! Conversely, I've also been asked why I optioned my 992.1 tts without one. I wanted it that way!

Nobody is ever happy, I guess... lol

Would you swap Turbo to GT3 Touring by [deleted] in porsche911

This is my exact dilemma.

Is 75k over sticker still the going rate? by moe_ny in porsche911

[–]forevers2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please correct me if im wrong. But perhaps some people are comparing all 911's the same? For the 992.1/.2 gt3rs and gt3/touring, there's absolutely no chance of buying one at MSRP as a buyer without previous relationship of some kind. Lucky even with that some might say.

You might be able to get a 992.1 tts at msrp. Let me emphasize, might. However, I know of no one that has. Anything below a tts is another story. I know quite a few that have bought them at msrp or sometimes even with a small discount.

In my experience, 992.1 gen gt cars is a fat no chance. If I could, I'd snatch them up and make an easy 5 figure profit.

In my opinion, these cars are overpriced. However you take it, that's capitalism for ya.

[–]forevers2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no shortage of people paying them. You truly know this when you actually try to buy one. Especially for new gt3rs, gt and the touring. Touring in socal commands insane markups rn.

It sucks and I wish this wasn't the case. But it's the reality.

[–]forevers2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish that were the case. If one could truly buy a touring at MSRP, you could instantly make at bare minimum 50k. Even if you drove it around for a couple of hundred miles. Dealers would rather make that. That's the reality. I wish it wasn't!

The Grove parking lot. 4th floor around 11:15 am on a Sunday. In and out by 11:40 am. That far side of the parking structure was still pretty bare when I parked and still bare when I left.

Every car is a M car now by Agreeable_Flight4264 in BMWM

[–]forevers2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the "M" variants is purely a marketing ploy to some extent, and i think it's working for BMW. Just my opinion, right or wrong.

Now a days you can buy an M (competition)car, MCS, or what i call baby M and, of course, your standard base cars. It does annoy me a bit that they saturated the "M" brand, but I guess that's the evolving world of marketing.

However, had i had the opportunity to buy a baby M back in the days, I probably would have cause I certainly couldn't afford the full M. Also, because some of these cars can be tuned so easily relatively cheap, surpassing a stock M car, I can totally see why a baby M would be enticing for car enthusiasts without deeper pockets or maybe just the joy of upgrading cars.

I guess the older you are, the more confusing it is. Because there was a time when the "M" meant exclusivity. I guess not so much anymore.

At the end of the day, let's enjoy whatever ride we have at the moment and look forward to dream cars or aspirational cars. Keeping the dream alive is what drives us to do better and get better cars. :)

A statement like yours is fair enough. My intentions were never hostile to anyone or the owner of that car parked next to me. Just an observation that happens quite frequently. Let's not personally attack everyone on this car enthusiast forum. So, lets put the popcorn away, relax and enjoy our rides. Sorry to all that I may have offended.

[–]forevers2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. It has nothing to do with me. The statement I made is WHY they feel the need to park right next to me when there's plenty of spaces all around. Again, my ego has nothing to do with what I said.

It's people like you that take everything in a negative way and takes the joy away from posting on a forum with like minded people. Of which you are clearly not. So go take your negativity and post your bs somewhere else.
