    Not sure about the MID engine RWD. My wife drives a BMW M4 all winter long, but with Blizzaks, of course! There are really only 2-3 days per winter where she chooses to stay home rather than driving.

    Ascend finally left Rennlist a few weeks ago where he claimed over and over he owns a 997.2 GT3 RS. Not that he's THINKING about it. That he OWNS one. I don't know what's with this kid. Weird.

    And that's actually not what the ladies said.

    I just saw. He obviously acted a lot more tough over there calling people literally retard just because they were also asking for proofs of 997RS ownership. I just hope he is not driving his dad's car and doing double clutching it. @Ascend , in case you are reading it and really have the car in your possession, listen to them on the RL. You don't double clutch anymore with these cars. You are going to screw it up. And you will cry then for real.

    off topic, but is double clutching really bad to do? I don’t do it in my f cars since revs drop pretty quickly, but in my 993 and 981gts, revs take a bit to drop, so it feels natural to double clutch. I know I don’t have to do it with syncros, but it’s more fun, gives my feet more to do

    I never double clutch starting 981 GT4 and .2 GT3 manual, I got lazy because of the auto blip with down shift which is so good. Then pdk of .1 GT3 was just so good, so I just stayed pdk.. I let the mechanically sound people answer your question, but I am very good removing foreign body in orifices in the ER.

    Allow the ophthalmologist from the great white north to chime in here.

    Youre not crazy. He will need good winter tires. I dont know how low a 4c is but clearance can be an issue after fresh snow. Its probably more headache than anything.... or just another life lesson.

    Thanks. He is too late because I already sold my 718 Spyder to absorb his car. I unfortunately have to work out to be as buff as the orthopedic to drive the manual steering of the 4c! lol

    Seems like paul stalked me to RL as well. Yeah some guys pestered me to post the photo of my car and i told them to eff off. No need to prove anything when I dont want to.

    Anyways, paul, my son, a word of advice. Dont take yourself too seriously. And it seems like you are enjoying your power as mod too much little man ;). Have fun!

    I thought you wanted to show us the car registration and you said you never lie like a good ol boy going to church every Sunday. seems to me that once your facade is blown you are turning nasty.

    Why do people call you BS in two different forums? Have you had any insight about that? It was you who asked the same questions and financial advice thousand times while making a million a year and you worry about maintenance cost of few hundred bucks. please insert palm to face emoji here, if you wish.

    And you calling Paul your son is one of most profound things out of your 125 posts.

    You and @JJ need to study ad hominem together.

    Sincerely,
    Boomer or Boomie. Anything else you can call me?

    How about a Singer 911?

    Takes a while to get your car, but new they are around your budget. Sort of vintage, sort of modern. And definitely a safe investment.

    Kim, I did not read the whole thing but willing to contribute. There are several considerations. Where do you live, weather matters. How far from a Ferrari dealer or at least very good service shops? I agree with another's opinion that you are just getting started so start slow, you have plenty of time to learn things. Once you get your foot in the door, go to car events, car meets, visit dealerships et cetera...

    People are moving all around the country now. My advise is to move into a decent neighborhood knowing it will not be the "dream home". But then living in the area will allow them to find out what really matters in the new location. Same with cars. Start a little lower and work up as you get experience. It is OK to move in this way. A gradual advance is usually a good approach.

    PM me if you need to talk to somebody.
