    Welp, after all my talk of not caring about muted FI cars any more, I went full hypocrite and ordered a 992 TTS. :(

    A super early allocation was offered to me with a November delivery, and after reading all the glowing reviews and watching it humiliate the 720S (which is no small thing), I just had a 'funk it' moment and pulled the trigger. I'm actually super excited about it. :)

    Cloned this spec:

    I did 18,000kms in my F12.

    In many respects it was a better car;

    1. Sound
    2. Grip
    3. Gearbox
    4. Seats
    5. Storage space

    The Aston is better

    1. Power above 100kph. It is so quick!
    2. Handling
    3. Looks

    The JLURs can swallow 37s stock with the right offset - just don't expect max articulation without some minor fender rubbing! Love the Jeep!

    You're one of my heroes! I also want to drive as many 'Ferrari miles' as I can. I'm right around 30k miles in 4.5 yrs.

    That's about right. :)

    Honestly, in recent memory, the only sports car I've kept over a year and have no plans to sell is the 458S, it's weirding me out that I haven't tired of the experience, in fact it's going in the other direction, as in I like it more the longer I have it and the more I drive it as opposed to the other way around.

    I love it as my daily. I had a 2006 M5 before it for 13 yrs. I am just careful where I park when at Costco

    You should have taken the under, I pulled out of my TTS order so my new ownership record is now -3 months.

    I had a moment of clarity today and remembered why I had decided not to buy late model muted FI sports cars any more. It came up because I got a call on a Pista and said no for the umpteenth time because I have no interest in a TT Ferrari, and then wondered what is really the difference. The NA cars that I currently own give me all the joy I want ... I guess I just got itchy for change for the sake of change, old habits of ADD privilege die hard, but I've now re-seen the light.

    The truck will be fun to play with in the dirt, and if I see something more analog that moves me I'll jump into that. I'm actually thinking of trying to source a great low mileage example of a 355 Spider or street legal Challenge, one with known provenance and its engine out service already done. We'll see, I'm not sure I'm ready for that type of needy relationship yet. :)

    That exactly how I feel, it's strange as normally I get the itch to change cars at 1 year and then just before I have had them for 2 years they go as I can't hold out anymore [emoji1787] I've had a 458 spider for around 2.5 years now and love it even more with each passing day. I try not to drive it too much to keep it special for me [emoji16]

    You guys are fortunate then, it has been rare for me to keep a car more than 1 year.
