Thanks again for the input. The reason the wife will get a TT-S is because the Cayman wouldn't cut it for her year-round car in the DC area. If we moved to CA, I'd dump the TT-S for a Cayman S in 1.2 seconds. As it stands, I'd like her to have AWD during winters. She's also considering a Q5, but I think the TT-S will win the day.

Like I said, I still want to drive a manual M3 and see what's up. Realistically, paying off the 911 is the best plan.

I know a Canadian gentleman who drove his Boxster in Canadian winters.
They handle great with winter tires, 50/50 weight ratio.

But yea, TTS is a better choice.

Love my M3. While to an untrained eye blends in with reg. 3 series, it is a thrill to drive. With better performance then a 360, and German reliablity with free maintenance for the first 50,000 miles, it is a no brainer. It truley has the total package. My only complaint is that I feel my Range Rover gets better gas mileage! But who cares when you are in 3rd gear at 6,000 rpms and nail it up to 120 and here the sound. I have been, and always will be a fan of the M3 for the perfect daily driver for a true enthusiast.

^I'm pretty sure even the most untrained eye can differentiate an M3 and a 3 series.. Assuming you're talking about the E9x M3s.. Otherwise, I can see where people may confuse them from certain angles.

And buy every dream car available, and then some?

What about buying a one year used m6? It would probably run you around 70k, will not depreciate like a new car (so you can save more efficiently for the GT3), and it has the V10 engine.

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.
