Holy ****!!!!
Am I the only one who read his first post? It said, if money were no object. He never one time said that someone could not afford the TT. Even in his above post, which apparently none of you read, he said again that us being car nuts, he was having a hard time believing that if money were no object we would not opt for the TT...
Wow...

You have an M3 with $$$ put into it so you obviously have the money to spend, but why an e46 M3? If you have so much money, why don't you have a more expensive newer, top of the line car? Oh what is that? Preference?... Ohhhh ok....

Once again your getting defensive and cant comprehend the original meaning i had. The M3 at the time i bought was top of the line. Why didnt i buy a 325? Also ive put money into my car that turns out makes more power then top of the line cars along. This is a very different comparison you are trying to make.
Actually i would think that the majority of people who can afford the 100k 997S can afford or will be able to afford the TT. And i think we all know that, so there is no need to compare the two cars (its like comparing a 325/330 to an M3)
Also there alot of people who think further ahead about their finances and dont want to sacrifice the extra cash (even though they can) for a "higher" version. There is no need to "justify" anything to anyone, alot of the people who purchase such cars purchase them with their own money...not mommy and daddy's.

Yes it is, anyone with the money to spend on cars would buy a M3 over a 325, plain and simple. Same thing here.

I went to high school in Warwick. Other than the weather, I really miss it. I'm planning a trip up there as soon as it gets a bit warmer. My dad still lives in Newport on Spring Street. My mom just sold her place in Riverside. It's a great state, highly underated. Not to mention I actually got to see the Beastie Boys live at Rocky Point. The mosh pit will always be a fond memory 
I think I've been in FL too long now. I actually pronounce my "R"'s now
