Same here. Unless the car is pink, I wouldn't consider that a woman's car.

James
do whatever feels right in your eyes obviously. You started out looking for a 911 - turbo or not. by getting the TTRS you might still lust for the 911 in 6 months or a year and then what? you took a big hit on new car depreciation. the TTRS is a bad ass little car and no shame in owning one for sure. However, a 911 is iconic in my eyes and a car I could easily keep for 10 years or more, which is kind of where it sounded like you were coming from too. To me the 911/Porsche is filled with a lot of things I love and don't feel the same about in other cars. The iconic styling, the performance heritage of their engineering, the passion you get from driving the car (a lot of cars you just don't "feel" it in - I think the GT-R is one of them), and obviously the name and prestige you get from "owning a Porsche". The Audi has a lot of that but maybe just to a lesser degree. I don't know I haven't driven one so I don't know how it feels. I guess maybe you just need to ask yourself what the important factors are. prestige/appearance to others? raw performance? overall driveability on a daily basis? track worthiness? newest gadgets/gizmos? visual appeal? snooty brand whoring? big dick swingabilty? when you can place all of those things on a list and choose a car unbiasedly (and removing your car search frustrations) then whatever it is you should just be patient and look for because in the end getting what you really want is much better than settling because you got frustrate. Thats fuckin JBone syndrome right there... give me something now rather than waiting for what I really wanted. (no offense bone - you know I'm usually the same way).

All great points Seth. And my friends agree, they know the Porsche would leave me with no regrets as it’s the best all-around option minus the costs. But that’s what would help me not regret it. The 911 will cost 30-45% more than the ttrs for 25% more of a car. The part of me that wants to be more financially responsible would say it was just to much for a car.

Been in a bimmer for 9 years, want somthing difference.
At the end of the day, I am really indecisive atm. As such, I shouldn’t make any purchase until I know 100%. So, I will just think more on it.

Yea, I wish sometimes I can snap shots of true 10s you see out in the world to share with my friends. But thats creep factor 10 in itself.
