So I moved to my new place for the summer in North Atlanta yesterday. It is in a really nice subdivision, that is fairly expensive. It's unfortunate that all the houses they are building now all look the same. There's no personality in any of these new subdivisions. I've actually driven past my place twice already, because I couldn't tell it apart from the others.

Thats why you paint it some gnarly color that goes against all the housing association rules.

How much did that cost ya?

Park your 7 (do you even have one still?) in front of the house til it hemorrhages oil all over your driveway. It will mark your territory forever. You should see my power driveway (the folks hate me, I really need to get rid of my MOP).

The house looks good, though, you and Marky-Mark, have a similar taste in paint. :) (I know where his house is LOL).

I'm just renting it for the summer, $1900 a month with all the bills included

Yeah I have one, back in NY. Not bringing it anywhere till I'm somewhere permanently, and can scrap the rinky-dink 13B and put an LS1 in it.

For shame.

Bah, that motor has 1/2 the potential of an LS1. I'd be able to smoke just about any rotary and still be breathing easy. That's down the road though, I'm getting a 911 before I do anything else to that car.

Damn. That can't even get you a nice 2 bedroom apartment here. Nice :bigthumb:

Welcome to the South. I could get a 2 bedroom luxury condo in Buckhead, with marble everywhere, a hot tub, LCD TV's, floor to ceiling windows, fully furnished with leather, and concierge service for about $3500 a month. I'd rather save money than blow it on something like that since I'm never home anyways.

Very standard fare for the area. Two weeks to build it from a dirt patch to ready to live in.

$1900 a month seems like highway robbery for a ticky tack vinyl siding house like that. Hell the mortgage on a place like that can't be more than $1000, $1200 tops.

It's cute though. :)

Do you like the GT3? I would take that over a 911 Turbo.

Try to find a new 3 bedroom pad around here for less. Actually I'm sure you can, but this is a nice neighborhood and it's real close to my office. I'm sure the mortgage isn't much more than $1000. But like I said, all bills are included, and the guy obviously wants to make some coin on the place.

I would too. Don't think a GT3 is going to be in the price range though.
Went for a ride this afternoon in my coworkers 2007 911. Black on Black, has the S wheel package. Very, very nice.

Yeah, those things are listed at around $130,000 I think. I don't know about dealer mark up with those things.

How much is the Carrera 4S? Around $90,000?

Brand new yeah. I wouldn't buy a new one though, I'm looking for one that's a couple years old, broken in with low mileage. I can find them in the
$50-60K range over here.

That would be the smarter thing to do.

Yeah, buying a new Porsche almost seems ridiculous. Recently they've depreciated hard in the first 3 years off the lot. You can pick them up for about 30k less after some old guy has babied it.
Now if I was making more money, maybe I'd consider it. I'm at the stage of just wanting my first Porsche. Down the road I'll hopefully be able to afford a new one.

I would be happy to be able to afford any 3 year old Cayman or 911.

Yeah I'm pleased about that. I don't own a house or have a wife though, that will help the cause a little.

If I was single and living with my buddy, I would have a used 911, Shelby GT500 or some other kick ass car.

A $1,000 car payment and the insurance would not phase me. I made some $1,000 payments on my then new Mustang when I was single and living at home. Too bad a $400 payment would kick my ass right now. God damn responsibilities :D

What color 911 are you going to get?

Kids, say no to marriage.

Marriage is the reason I'm thinking about buying a Jaguar :bigthumb: Gotta love dual incomes.

I wouldn't mind having a Sports Car, but right now I want a luxury car to replace my aging college commuter Chevy Cavalier.

A Porsche would be nice, but that'd only get me locked under the jail right now. Maybe when I get closer to 30...

Yes, exactly!
I love the black on black, and black on tan. Second choice would be the silver with black interior. About the only color that would be a definite no is the blue. I'd rather have my first choice, but if I'm looking used I may have to settle. Won't be until next year though.

How many kids do you have?

Mine is on her path to getting her Paralegal certification or whatever it's called. Her income would be limited right now and not worth paying outrageous child care costs. As long as her GPA is higher than 3.5 and she takes care of our little girl and continues to cook/clean, I'll be flipping the bill for eveything. Oiiiii.

Black is very nice.

I'm starting to like white a lot thanks to this.

Silver is cool, but black is a better choice IMO.

Yellow FTMFW.

yellow? Are you serious?

I like the white alot too. Probably one of the only cars that I would get in white actually.

Its crazy to think about, but one of the main things that pushed me to go through all of this school, career tracking, ass kissing, and work is the dream of owning a Porsche by my late twenties. Amazing that something as inanimate as a car could do that.

You can now give photobucket an image URL and it will save it for you.

No sir.

I'm her daddy/papi.

I could see her all squinty eyed, "Aye papi! Aye papi!" And then laughing becuase it was all a rouse to get you hard and then walk away.

No sir.
Oh well.

white > yellow

Racist!

white > yellow

Blonde > Brunette

:boobies:

Titties is right. How are you doing anyways man? Haven't talked to you in quite a while

I believe it. Expect a lot of nice tail my friend.

Haha, yeah that is half of the reason of buying one isn't it?

V8 FD. Easy and cheap(er) to fix, all the tail, none of the assorted bullshit associated with 13BREWs or Porsches.

But it's a Mazda. There's a reason why he wants a Porsche, it's ballin'... Right? No? Crap, i should speak for myself.

1900 a month here would probably rent you the entire city.

Efff that. 911 is my dream car, I'm going for it. I wouldn't drive an FD if you paid me. Not only is it old and have all the associated creaks, groans, problems, that the FC does, I don't like the looks of it. Plus an FD doesn't have anywhere near the ass status that a 911 does.

You're on the right track. And it's an overall much better car.

I must be the only guy that doesn't want a Porsche...

My dream:

That is also a hot ride, light years cooler than an FD.

there's a reason its named FD.. F'D... effed.

It will be mine.

Went for another ride in that 911 again today, actually hit some back roads this time. My god I love that car. One of the most awesome things about it is how uncivilized the car feels. It has this gorgeous exterior and interior, yet when you are sitting there at idle you can feel the motor shaking the car. Not in a bad way, but it definitely lets you know that it's there.

Nice. How does that thing brake?

Some chick at work dated a guy with a 911. She didn't like feeling all the bumps in the road and the fact that there was no room for anything in that car. Chick, go figure.

Very solid. Had a couple of situations where I was grabbing on to the doors because I didn't know if the thing would stop quickly enough, but it was right on the mark. All around excellent vehicle.
It is a stiff ride, but it is very solid at the same time. Definitely not jarring in any way at all.

You know chicks. They would rather drive in a nice comfortable Mercedes.

I knew it would brake well. My buddy was told that his G35 could out brake a 911 by the salesman that sold it to him. I laughed.

Did the rear end slip out at all edit: while turning? The engine sits behind the rear axles right?

Yeah it does. Did not notice any rear traction issues whatsoever. Then again, the car was being driven hard but not being pushed to it's full potential.

And I've driven the G35, and my buddy has an 06 350Z. They did a hell of a job with that car, don't get me wrong. It is fast, and I was impressed. It is no 911 though. 911 just has everything right, all the pieces fit together perfectly with a purpose.

The stability control does wonders according to a car magazine article.

My buddy has a 2006 G35 6-speed and it's a nice car, but I wasn't impressed with the cornering or acceleration.

I would love the opporunity to drive a 911 S. Too bad I will have to settle for window shopping at this point.

Ferrari F430 anyone? I know, it's way more expensive.
