I had a 991.1 but haven't had a 991.2. 992's still way overpriced IMO, don't think it's worth $50-70k more than a 991.2. Also never had a manual GT3 so that would be fun.

Yeah I got it in March, I usually put 2-3k miles on something and then sell it if I can get what I want for it. If not I can always just keep driving it. I can't say the other cars on the list are "better" than the 458, they're just different. Recently got a 997 GTS that I'd say is probably my favorite 911 I've had yet so my thinking was to either get some kind of manual trans car (the 997 is PDK) or get a GT/luxury car for something different. There's other cars on my bucket list too like a 430 Scuderia or 360 Challenge Stradale but I'm not really looking for that as the next one.

The Wraith was also one of my favorite cars I've ever had so a black badge car or a Dawn would be amazing, but it's surpassingly difficult to find cars with really good specs. Top down driving in the Rolls has to be awesome when it's nice outside. Lots of cars have wraps, the leather is in poor condition, car doesn't have bespoke audio option, bad color schemes, etc. Money still doesn't buy great taste after all these years.

I think it might genuinely take me 2 years to get to 2-3k miles on my weekend cars haha. Glad you get to enjoy the 458!

Curious as to what your top 3 cars were if you had to pick in terms of experience?

Pure experience for a short drive:

FF, 458, 991.1 GT3. The V12 Ferrari engine is simply epic with an aftermarket exhaust.

Overall enjoyment considering all factors:

Wraith, 997 GTS, 458


Not necessarily in those orders

Maybe. If I can't get what I want for it I'll keep it. Everything is always for sale at the right price, just not publicly.

Went to a park on the grass show thing on the weekend.

The Aston attracted people like chips attract seagulls*. Quite insane really. About 15 people milling around at one stage. I guess no one ever sees them.

*That might be an Australian term. Chips are sort of a fat version of “fries”. Seagulls are flying rats that live near the ocean. Tourists with chips attract them. Tourists feed them. Then they seriously regret it. Cultural education complete.

Nevada has no sales tax on private party cars and a tax credit offset on trades. Buy a $1m car from private party? No tax. Buy from dealer? $83,750 tax.

If buying a car from a dealer, some will do a pass-through transaction where the person buying my car sends money to the dealer, they process the title to buyer and I get the trade credit for that value, but it all has to be done in one transaction for NV. Some states give you 6-12 months to use the tax credit, some states don’t allow the credit. So for this trade I’m paying $0 tax on the Rolls

Not sure what you’re referring to about the rivets unless you mean the push/pull plungers, those are for the AC and open/close the vents. They have a sweet tactile “weighty” feel to them too
