Bye Bye 993 :(

Well,

She's sold.. Dad's business partner bought her off me.. Tis a sad day.

Reason for selling you may ask? I'm in Toronto for awhile now and the winters are hell. Another reason was my $18,500CND a year insurance, which lets face its.. is ludacris. So now I just have the Hummer H1 which will do well in the winter and only costs me $4100 a year in insurance cost. I had her for a year, and drove her like mad.. never driven a more fun car (even my dad's old 355)

I'll miss you baby, I'll miss you!

Thats a bummer man....but hopefully you won't be "Porscheless" for too long !

Sounds like a movie "Porscheless in Toronto"....

Insurance is ridiculous in Ontario....I pay 1200 per year for my '03 R Turbo

Oh man, 1200?? God damn

I guess its the fact that I'm 21 which doesnt help matters.

Hopefully I wont be porscheless for long..

I'm looking at a few cars but cant decide what to get..

Saleen S281? Anyone have one?

Give us a glimpse into your specs and I am sure that we can recommend some fun cars that will fit your needs.
That 425HP(I think) S281 extreme sounds like loads of fun...however in my mind a mustang is a mustang no matter how much power, or how many body kit parts it has...

I agree with you guys 100%

The problem is that getting anything in the same range (price wise) will screw me over with insurance.. Even a S281 which has like 430HP is like 10k a year

I need something fast and nice looking, I dont mind having it slow when I get it aslong as I can mod the **** out of it

Yeah I was thinking Z06, they look great in black

Thats definatly the only thing that will give me the same kind of power the TT had.. its about the same 0-6.

I doubt anything (except maybe a 996 TT) will be like the 993 :/
