Old Yellow, our 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport

I know, I've heard it a thousand times.  "Why do you put so much effort and money into cars only to sell them ?"    Some guy once introduced me as "the guy that always sells his cars."   Hey!  i'm not Jay Leno, so when I want to start another project something has to fund it!  Truthfully, buying and selling cars simply is the only thing I think about in my spare time.                                            In hindsight any number of cars I've owed in the past could have sufficed as my "forever" vehicle.  But once they are done, my mind starts to wander.  It seems the only vehicle that interests me is the NEXT vehicle.  I need help. Anyway here is the latest example of my overspending and stupidity.  We are pretty much done with the XJ and focusing on more on our BMW Coupe project and our TRD-Pro these days.  I wish we could keep them all, but space also dictates "thinning the herd" every few years.    Note: Door skins are showing

Why a Z3 M Coupe?

Let me start by saying selling my 993 Carrera in 2016, while necessary, hurt me pretty badly. While that Porsche was the ultimate expression of just how cool I really am, it just wasn't an accurate expression of how underfinanced I really am. When it sold on BAT i swore I'd return! I swore to return with Car Guy vengeance.  I would climb the highest mountain, fast and meditate as long as it takes to come up with the ultimate, but affordable car guy acquisition. This acquisition would fill my empty soul. That next acquisition would meet the following criteria. 1. Cost next to nothing. 2. Seat at least 3 people (is the McLaren F1 expensive?) 3. Come in a manual transmission 4. Speak volumes about my genius via it's esoteric coolness 5. It should also be the fastest car I've ever owned. 6. Unnaturally aspirated (helps with the Colorado altitude) Well I haven't rocked all 6 bullet points, but the Z3 M-Coupe is darn close and perhaps I can work on item 6, and I would

The 997.2 is nearly perfect, so I better just get rid of it.

I just cannot settle on a permanent car.  Perhaps my lot in life is to buy, spend and sell over and over?  I don't know what's wrong with me, but I like what I'm doing and am not ashamed (okay may a little).  Well not too ashamed anyway. I think the Carrera marks my 60th vehicle in my 52years on this earth.   It will likely be my Porsche Swansong, they have gotten too collectable to buy inexpensively these days.  I will always be a fan but think it's just too expensive an asset to have lying around when I work from home and have 2 other cars.  My 2010 Carrera 4S was a step in the right direction. The last "small" 911 is also the last one with true hydraulic steering assist. While the 997.2 may just be the best analogue Porsche left for under $100,000, your definition of analogue can vary quite a bit. Before manual transmissions are gone forever, I think I'll need just one more 3 pedal car. I am quite sure I'll be sending it down the road once I get a f
