I was going to borrow a 911 and take it down to california along highway 1 instead of beating up my own ratrolla this summer.
I'm priced at $539/Day x 3 Days = $1,617 a weekend x 12 weeks? = $19,404 for 12 weekend a year, seems cheaper to buy new. I don't think a 2023 911 will drop $100K in depreciation + warranty over 5 years. I think the rental program prohibits you from track days, but that only matters if you crash or get hit by a 3rd party lol.

Overall, the math still adds up to me that it's a lower cost of ownership if you can get an allocation to a non-generic sports car. The sports car market is fucked lol

You have to know somebody or offer something back aka an allocation of a car at your dealer, luxury watch, or some proposition to basically get it without options because they know you're walking out +10 - 20K+ in equity.
