I am in my 12th porsche over the past 37 years. Now I am driving a Targa 4S. The car is fine but i am already planning my next car.I will be 70 in September and the next will probably be my last.
I just drive, no racing or track.
I am thinking most likely of a 08 turbo. My other naughty choice for this old fart would be a wild GT3. I don't haul anyone but my wife occasionally and my golf clubs. What do you think, would the GT3 be too tough to drive almost daily. I know the turbo would be the most logical choice. Thanks for the info.

As a relatively young 66 year old, my 06 997S may well be my last New P-car. However, if i had my drouthers I would probably pick up a turbo for my last P- car!

 

I think there is a Turbo the best choice. It is a better dsaily driver.My dad is at the same age. I think he gets an Aston as his last car. But the Turbo will be my choice. Good luck.

 

i say turbo !

 

big bang at the end = WHITE TURBO.

 

My vote is for the TT as well...I'm 43, thanks for making me feel young...

I am going to show this post to my wife (who thinks I'm certifiable)...LOL.

What is this last car bullsh!t? You could be asking us this question again in 10 years. LOL

 

Carrera GT

 

GT3......(just in case you get a wild hair up your *** for track time)

 

turbo because when u get tired of it u can get a GT3.

 

A GT3 would be my choice whether it is my last or my first Porche.

 

agreed. my suggestion is 997 GT2, and many more!

 

thanks for the respones thus far. I think I should have requested the respones (all do respect for you young studs) to age 40 and above. A GT is out of the question except in a wet dream. I think I was really looking for a reason for a daily driver an old fart should even consider a GT3. It is outreadgious enough for me to still be in a porsche much less a GT.

 

its a huge PITA hauling around my golf clubs in my 911...

 

Isn't that what the passenger seat is for? I'll be riding w/ my clubs tomorrow as a matter of fact.

In my old Boxster I was able to load bag & clubs in the front and/or rear trunks. On one occasion I squeezed (2) small bags plus a passenger in.

The cool thing now is that I'm never asked to drive to the golf course when a group of us are playing. I just have to spring for breakfast or brews to compensate for the cost of gasoline.
