I wrote this an a homage to my car, but it's also a sale's pitch now I guess, since it's on consignment at Glenn Shelly Auto Consultants Seems my cars all spend a little time at Simply Clean in Lafayette CO. Tyler, the owner applied a full hood PPF as well as a ceramic coat . My S52 powered M-Coupe is the slowest variant of the M-Coupe. It cost less than the faster versions, but It has other great qualities. So I spent less coin, comparatively, and still achieved total immortality and dominance at Colorado Cars and Coffee . Simply Clean applied "temporary tattoos" that have sufficiently offended so many enthusiasts. These helped distinguish my car from the hundreds of other silver M-Coupes in town. I always wanted a Dinan-badged car, probably due to something I saw or read in my youth. Glen Shelly found me an excellent example locally with 40,000 mi. It had a history of being an EAG car (Enthusiasts Auto Group, ...
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 ...
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...
