If you dont drive 911 that much, even better. It's not like the car is asking for food, well sometimes to fix things, seriously keep the car. tell the future wife to buy a maxima or something if its bouncy, I'm not that type of guy
when-ever people get married, toys go away, hell no. its yours man, you paying for it. you keep that thing!

can you imagine us saying, honey, please get rid of all your makeup. and sell it.

I have a stock suspension (the more mushy one) that is in great condition and a stock exhaust if that will help you to keep the car in your life

sorry but whenever people complain about harsh/bumpy ride or seats that are not that comfortable or whatever, i'm thinking the person is like 80 years old. go get fiat.

one salient point some may be overlooking, is the OP purchased the car coming out of a divorce.. a situation in which self esteem seems ebb and testosterone seems to rise lol and flow.

so, as nice as it is! he may not be feeling it, and given he's about to take the marriage ( ACK ) plunge AGAIN, testosterone will once again ebb, and.. well, you get the picture lol.

good luck with the marriage AND the car. i say keep it! you'll NEED to get OUT OF THE HOUSE

I think everything has been said but I would love to own such a car, even if my wife hated it, so I could take it out on MY time doing MY thing.

As it is, my wife likes the Harley, but she doesn't LOVE it. And I still get MY time on it.

If she isn't asking (bugging you to death) I wouldn't sell it.

I like that arena red color.

Reminds of the monologue by a newly married guy:

"We moved in together right after the wedding. I helped her move all of her things into our new house, and she helped me move all of my things to the curb."

Thanks for all the posts and I assume I asked of the responses, but this idea of selling really has nothing to do with her. I drive my Porsche when I am not at work and if the weather is not raining-period. Now if I only drive it for a 5 minute round trip to the gym 5-6 days a week seems senseless and has nothing to do with her. I have sold some great cars in the past for the same reason I didn't drive them enough to justify sitting on them in the garage. It was a mere post for me to rationalize in my head if I think it is feasible to "look at" over driving. All my toy cars in my first marriage were sold due to not really being able to justify the money in a car that sits since my budget was a bit different back then. My biggest regret was selling my 87 Buick Grand National with 20k on it. Great fun and understated car that is also going up in value as most are beat to death.

I would say north of 50k...

if your future wife isn't asking you to sell it and if it isn't a financial burden KEEP IT.

She planted a seed. It's a test to see if you love her more or the car.
