And so too, with the dilemma you pose. If you're bored, so be it: but one might anticipate a brief period of euphoria followed by eventual boredom, once again.
Having made this mistake with both cars and women in my youth, throwing away more than one of each for boredom disguised as valid complaint, my only suggestion is to find a good one, appreciate it for what it is, and stick with it. Good luck with your choice, whatever it may be.

The cars look the same, but the .2 is a huge improvement. Much better suspension. Touch screen stereo and nav. The bigger engine has a much better tone, especially with exhaust and a tune. The car is FASTER. Highly recommended. PDK with launch control. Check out my thread.

The R8 looks cool and would probably attract a lot of attention. You probably can't drive it anywhere. A turbo you can still daily without too much craziness. And R8 drivers just don't seem so enthralled with the car.

GTR? Just check out my thread. Be careful if you only do a test drive . https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...est-drive.html

A GT3 looks absolutely awesome. You'll have to have ***** of steel to daily one. I know many can, but it will be a ***** in traffic.

Time to move on. It's a fun time!
I'm the same way! Wheels are almost a death sentence for my cars.
Typically I add wheels last and not long after I do......SOLD!

Thanks for the advice. Yes I've read your GT-R thread and other previous owners have told me similar stories of how they owned one for a short period of time.

I'll look up your .1 vs .2 thread.

If only I could find one <$120

I did consider a LP 560 however, a few friends that own/owned them recommend against daily driving one.

There are many high performance cars out there that are bad *** but I feel nothing are as good as a Porsche for daily driving.

The only reason why I wouldn't DD my car is because of the amount of attention I get when I drive it..... People can be very annoying.... I found people seating on my hood taking cool pics... But the car is very good and reliable to be a DD.
