Question PCA Porsche, should I buy?

I just found out that I "won" one of the 49 slots for the PCA car. I am open to all opinions about what to do. I have until 9/6 @ 9:00PM to place order. I have been considering an E 500 or E55 for an every day car, saving my GT2 for special days. This color blue is close to my 1st P-car, a 1972 911T, bought used in 1975. My last 3 cars have been Speed yellow so this would be a change for me. I would drive this nearly every day using my(don't laugh) Honda Element for Costco and dog duty. Please talk me in, or out, of buying this.

Never mind, I ordered the car today! See post in 997 section

Why the hell did u register if you didnt plan on buying?
There are so many people hoping to be called, u just took someone else's spot that is really waiting for it....So are you selling your spot also?

I guess I will take that as a "buy it" opinion. I entered as I expect many others did hoping to be the 1 free car winner. Is that a bad thing? and no I will not sell my spot I will more than likely be driving a blue Porsche soon.

Sorry Larry, cause there's 2 way to enter, if you jsut want the sweepstakes and if you want to buy one. I guess most people didnt see that, I just get upset cause there's a guy in Rennlist actually selling his spot.

I sold my 2005 997 and placed my order for the Club Coupe. I was looking to upgrade anyway because I have the Porsche fever now.

The Club Coupe is a GT3 with a luxury ride inside (so it is a bit slower, but not enough for most to notice). Upgrade for the better technology and uniqueness!
