Need to make a choice

Well, I have a dilema so I am looking for some advise. In the next week I will lose 2 cars from the stable. 04' 996 Porsche Turbo Cab. and 04' Gallardo. They are both great cars for their own reasons but I am trying to downsize from 2 cars to 1. I have a position for an 08' 997 Cab and I was told today that I could get a 08' Gallardo spyder without having to wait (summer delivery). ?...which way do I go?

Thanks,

Chris

06' BMW X5 4.8is
95' Ferrari 355 spyder
04' Porsche Turbo Cab
04 Lamborghini Gallardo

You're trying to decide between a 997 cab and a Gallardo spyder?

Hmm, I 'm looking to buy a nice watch - should I get a Seiko or a Rolex?

Let's see some pics of your stable, lob12.

If your 04 Gallardo is pearl orange with low miles, you should sell it to me...

Seriously, unless you're going to be using it as a daily "park anywhere" driver, I'd go with the G-spider.

LOL. Point well taken regarding the watch analogy. OK, I'll take it 1 step further with the dilema...I'm looking at the Gallardo options and I spec the car at around $240K. Yes it's a great car and all but for about 100K more I can have a Carrera GT. Obvioulsy at this point the 997 is not part of the decision process but is a lambo spyder worth 240K considering I'm selling my coupe for 140K...is an open top worth 100K more???

Once I learn how to add pics I will add pictures of my cars.

04' Porsche turbo Cab. Black/Black
04' Lambo Gallardo. Pearl Yellow/ Black
95' Ferrari 355 spyder. Black/ Tan
06 BMW 4.8is Silver/ Black

OH and GHOSTRIDER...Come on now, my comparison is not as far fetched as yours...a BMW to a Murci Roadster. It's not like a 997 is a total pile...at least I didn't think so before I started getting responces.

Have a good one!

I'd go with the Gallardo Spyder as well. That car is absolutely badass

Obviously we will vote for the Gallardo.
If the open top is not worth $100k more to you, keep your coupe??
I understand you want one car, and a convertible, so I still vote for the G.
997S Cab is lovely, but it's so far from a Gallardo Spyder. If you can swing it, do it!

...and to think that my toughest decision today was whether or not to call in sick to wash the pollen off my car or not!

You don't know how to upload pics and you're 32 (i.e. should be somewhat tech savvy) ? I call BS until we see pics of your stable.

I'm very leary since there are so many pretenders on this forum.
