IMHO, if you are going for a Tip you might as well trade your car and get something more practical for your situation. No offense to Tip guys here….I tried and driven a couple of tiptronic cars the appeal is not there, off course this is a subjective opinion. It’s crazy I actually did the opposite, I went and bought a 996 turbo last December and we had our daughter in January this year. I figured my wife has a Honda and I have a Jeep for dd…so time for a fun car. But i understand you have a different situation.

Don't feel bad for driving a minvan because you have a child now (for men the first 6 months isn't that great...but after 6 months babies are the BEST...my 2 year old is the center of my life). Keep the TT and just drive her a few times a week.

We might consider a Minivan embarrasing...and yes, if you are alone in one then it is...but if your child is in it w/ you it is the perfect ride!

Wanna trade!?!

You can get a sticker on the back of the mini van:

" my porsche does 7.0's

... and first bib with:

" my daddy's porsch does sub 7's "

b/c by then, Im sure it will

Congrats on the new addition.

Kind of a crazy idea I'm just throwing out there. One of the main reasons I'm considering selling the car is that if I have to drive the wife's car, my wife and kid are stuck at home with a car she can't drive. I don't like that idea if there's an emergency. I've tried to teach her, but a 650hp car with a stage 3 clutch is a tough car to learn on and she's not taking lessons while pregnant.

So does anyone have a tip out there and always wanted a 6-speed?

I'd consider trading you my Tip(got two kids here under 6 who love riding in the 996tt ).

I like seal grey better than my Arctic Silver and I'm considering upgrading to K16 / 16 G's, but....your steering wheel is on the wrong side!
