Sold 2005 997S Porsche for 1997 2 door Tahoe!,...

Sold my 997 S Porsche for my 97' 2 door hoe !

Yes, that's right, I did! Done deal!*

I'm sure I will get a ton of fire for my decision, but hear me out...

It was boring. *Seriously! I would come home everyday and what would I do?... Work on the hoe. The Porsche was dialed. Every option available, sport seats, full leather, launch control, fast as $hit! Fun to drive on the weekends with the wife, but sat untouched 90% of the time. Aside from the occasional Napa visit, bay area tour, PCA drive etc.. That's it. *Take it from me, not even close to the hype!*

Here we are getting ready for the Tahoe winter again and what's the "ultimate driving machine?" ( Porsche motto) the 2 door 4x4 hoe! Worth about 9 times less, there is no other car I would wish to own. No where we can't go and no truck is more capable. *Truckee is one of the snowiest places in the world and I can depend, without fail, always on my Tahoe. *

I worried daily about my pristine European rocket. Is it dirty? Does it need tires? (2k$) is the oil due? Is that a scratch? Etc.. Etc...etc..

My Tahoe? Not a worry in the world. Something broken? Probably 100$ do-it-yourself fix. Trust me when I say these are the most practical and reliable trucks ever made!*

I am now saving 1$k per month without the Porsche and completing a few upgrades to the Tahoe. But rest assured, for those who thought the grass was greener, I promise *there is no ride greater than the all capable GM Tahoe

Cheers*

Hmm, wonder if I can sell mu 08 Yukon for this

Don't know where the fours kids would sit though

Hummm... Might be a little short! I swear, not worth it. Maybe in 5 more yrs when I have cash to just sit one in the garage. Maybe a GTS!

I'm just sayin, we have the most practical real world trucks. In fact, I pulled out my passport 9500ci from the Porsche and just put it into the 2 door. Stereo system goes in Monday with viper auto start. I'm stoked! ( maybe a little bit sad) kinda like taking my kid out for ice-cream after she looses a soccer game

I completely agree unless you have a 6 figure income those cars are a waste beautiful and cool as they are they aren't practical for an everyday joe

Good choice. Keep pimpin out the hoe so you can sell it to your buddy in Utah.

So are u lifting ur hoe? U should get a winch so that u can rwcover it when u think u can ge t past something and u cant. Trust me i almost got my teuck stuck several years ago when there was a flood. I looked like shallow watsr but it was a ram so it basically kept on truckin. It started to bog down but overdrive showed the flood who is whos *****

I do want to lift it but I have no clue about that stuff. I have the front torsion bar cranked about 1-1.5 inch to fit tires. The ride is a bit squirly. I'd like to do a 2 or 3" lift only. Hoping that will return the ride to a "solid" state. What's the right way to do it? Body or suspension lift blocks etc?

Both my wife and I have 6 figure incomes ... Still sold the Porsche. We are done with "excess". But I will blame tacboy. He told me to do it. Someone must pay

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

Well I hear ya. What do u do if u don't mind me askin

There are two things that would make me not go for a porsche:

1-potholes
2-police

I mean they're really great cars, my buddy has a gt2 and its practically a road missile! But for the everyday guy, not a good option. Theres just so much fussing around you have to do to take care of them. Porsches are like very high maintenance women
