Those Turbos are costing me big time
She drove the California and was non-plussed. She saw a 718 Boxster in Miami Blue and liked it but I thought she would like the Cali T. So we went to the Ferrari place and she drove it but failed to be whelmed. Instead, I end up buying this. I am still getting pushback on the Fcar. This is costing me at least as much as the turbos including labor. Of course it was purchased at Needless Markup.
I cannot believe the way this purse stuff works and I am told you can spend 10 times what this purse cost, JHC. Now I know guys do watches but I am not a watch guy. I am getting zilch out of this other than some smiles, still cranky about discussing the F car. The card has a serial number on the back and the purse has the serial number with a hologram. The card is going in the safe deposit box, the purse gets carried around and the owner gets to look like a purse connoisseur. Between jewelry, Cayenne and purses my wife has a 488GTB and I have a slow 991tts..........

Ha just steer clear of Hermes. My girl just got her third birkin this year fortunately bought from the store not secondhand, but i also just picked up a new 991.2 TTS to compliment my 991.1 GT3RS so i'm still ahead for now....

Ahhhh, Coco Chanel.... My wife loves Chanel purses. Let's just say that she has more than one. Funny that this subject came up. I told wife that I need to save for a TT/TTS and that she may not get her "annual offering" this year-oh the look that I got...only if looks can kill. Yeah, keep her away from the Hermes store!

I don't know what Hermes is but surely they will put one in the Domain. She has about 5 Louies including a phone case and wallet. I bought her a nice set of Paloma Picasso last year for her birthday, I can get into gold or sapphires or diamonds or rubies but purses? Not so much...............
OK, looked up birkin, yep 10x on the top end, I should feel lucky there isn't a Hermes store around. Course there are more expensive Chanel purses but this is the classic so I approved of it. I would have rather bought something at Tiffany though.

Hermes Birkin is like a special Ferrari. If you are lucky enough to get one you should get it because they can be sold at a profit.

Fortunately for me, my wife didn't like the look of them and if you read the article, they might lose a bit of cachet plus the fact that you could be at physical risk from PETA nuts if you carry it around outside. It's now a closet queen, not in the old unPC sense but in the way a car can be a garage queen.

Ha, this thread is classic! (But so true!)
Just ordered a 2017 TTS Cab - build date Jan 20.
My wife made away with a "trophy wife" ring... new 4.0c ring that is equal to a nicely equipped 911S Cab (I suppose in this case, I still came out ahead!).
Well worth it, this is a milestone vehicle that's been on my bucket list for a long time. Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas at the moment, days will feel like months until it arrives in March.
Please keep the great threads, stories and pics coming so I can continue to live vicariously in the interim!!
