I might suggest to hold off on the 911 until you have the house and garage that makes it all work… ---

It will probably look best in the winter when it is so covered in snow and salt that you can’t recognize the headlights. ---

What does it actually cost? I guess that’s my deciding factor. All I can think of when I see a base 996 is Nico Pannini or whatever the fuck his name is ---

> [@King](#): > > @**[Beck](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=5819)** - i think that a little too - but is it more reliable? a 65k mi 911 vs a 100k mi twin turbo…that is not a 911. n54 reliable? I bet the 911 motor is still more reliable. These motors give headaches for no reason. Only + on the n54 is the strength of its internals. ---

If you’re fine with the IMS thing I wouldn’t hesitate to DD it year round. It’s a sub $20k car. Who gives a damn if you drive it in the salt? I paid more than that for my CX-9, should I garage queen it too? There were people who would tell me they couldn’t believe I drove my GTO year round as well. There are VERY few cars that are investment cars that I wouldn’t consider driving year round, and an $18k 911 that has already depreciated a TON certainly isn’t one of them. I’m surprised someone hasn’t suggesting picking up some POS for the winter months. Fuck driving some $5k beater 6 months of the year just so you can drive your $18k 911 when it’s sunny. ---

12+ years ago my grandfather loved driving the C4 in winter and keeping the Turbo for summer. People thought it was out of the ordinary as the cars were both pretty new but he ripped through the snow without an issue without giving a shit. ---
