I would go GTS to scratch that itch and see if it's really what you want; you been talking about a targa for years

458/Performante ended up being more my cup of tea after driving em, gotta set my sights higher now

^^^^ LOL who doesnt want a 458... the people who doesnt want it probably already have one... or have a LFA


And the Porsche Rental program have insurance built into the payment, so your only expense is gas... if you dont hit anything ofc

Man, I'm only lower case rich, not upper case RICH. A 458 is nothing more than a poster fantasy for me.

That'd be a great way to do it. Depending on what the overage fee is like you'd need 2 months to get the mileage to do it, but split with a buddy it'd be ~$4200 each to do it in a 911 or ~$2700 for a Cayman instead of your own vehicle which isn't too bad. It's certainly cheaper than the normal way of getting to do that drive with a Porsche and having to buy it lol.

If you figure 2 weeks to do the trip you're spending $2-300/day to have the Porsche so it's a bargain by comparison lol.

Rentals allow 2 drivers too - they offered to put my wife on the car when I had a 992 a few years ago.

$680/day (incl taxes) for a 911 and I think I paid about $400/day for the Boxster GTS.

I can't recall what the charge is for going on mileage but I don't remember it being too high - I didn't worry about the cost of going over.

The lesson here for BIC is to sell his CTR and his house then go rent a 911 once a year.

I refused her one too many times so last few interactions she brought food to the gym for me to test.

What kind of a stupid fat fuck do people think I am that I have to eat at the god damn gym ?!

Here you go fatty, enjoy my 5 spice pork belly with rice ! Right before you do a 40 minute run. Other dudes at the gym look at me like I’m a fucking weirdo

I thought Turo has a vehicle MSRP limit of something that isn't too high -- like $70k or $80k max?

That would definitely be new. I've looked up renting GT3s or Ferraris on trips before. Never done it, but they were there. That would pretty much limit turo to model 3s and civics these days.

Looks like it's 150K in Canada. No idea how that Dakar got posted but it looks like that user is a super host.
