I drive a 20 year old car. I have the means to at least finance a new car. A nice car. And since I'm now firmly in midlife crisis territory, I really got excited about the new-yet-still-old 911 Targa they're releasing:
I have an old Targa. Doesn't make much of a daily driver but it sure is a lot of fun when I take it out on some backroads on a sunday morning.
However, call me a California poof,
You are a california poof.
I'm fed up with big oil, the taxes, the dirty smelliness, the silliness of an engine that makes 75% heat instead of power or an engine that idles when I'm stuck in traffic.
If an old 911 doesn't leak oil, smells like oil and has an unstable idle, it is probably dead .
You wont escape the taxes, the states are already working on charging electric car owners for use of the roads.
So why not a Tesla?
Expensive and not yet proven to have staying power.
60% of Porsches ever built are either still on th road or stored by someone for later enjoyment. I just dont see anyone salivating over one of those electric wheelchairs 30 years from now.
