Different cars. Lambo is exotic, garage queen, weekend warrior. 911 is everyday supercar, built for daily driving and the track. Can't go wrong with either. I am thinking of moving to a balloon white LP560-4 but the ride is brutal on city streets and takes the fun out of driving

I'm coming to think car photo of the day is not relevant to this thread mainly because there isnt one photo.

Maybe a name change is in order...

LMSBO I'm too cheap. Srsly, used R8 or new 991 make the most sense for me as a daily driver and fiscally speaking. I will always dream of an F-car but need something more amendable to DD.

Yeah, I can't imagine a 458 being a viable DD. It's a weekend car for the most part.

Thanks. Close enough to get confused as I have never heard if an FXX. So a little Wikipedia uncovered this little nugget of info:

For $1.8 M I would hope to be more than entitled to a briefing.

hmmm looks like you need a second income to support a DD and use your doctor money for the F-car

Not saying a second job, just become a master at stocks, owning properties and so forth, just tryin to help you out

That article is great too. I thought it deserved it's own thread, so I put it in the Automotive News section.
