[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the appeal of a Porsche? To most, no one can tell the difference between a $40k and a $200k model. I would focus on either getting a Ferrari or Lamborghini for exclusivity, or a more practical Tesla for everyday use.[/quote]
Tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me you know nothing about cars.[/quote] It seems like appreciating the nuances of a Porsche requires a deep dive into specifics, which might be more effort than it's worth for most people. If explaining why a car is great takes that much effort, maybe it’s not immediately obvious to the average person.[/quote]

A Porsche or any sports car is not for the average person. No one needs one and people make very intentional choices to buy one. But no one shopping for a Porsche is cross shopping a Tesla as an alternative which shows you don't know much about the topic being discussed. [/quote]

I’ve owned both a 2011 911 and a 2013 vette z06.   I’m an engineer so appreciate the mechanicals, etc.  The vette is fairly simple to maintain but the 911 requires much more routine and expensive maintenance.   For the average Joe, it’s just not worth the big $$ tag to own such vehicles. I just enjoyed owning them vs driving them having sold both during the pandemic.  [/quote]
