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
yeh it is.

So i was doing this math = 911 x 7 days a month (469x7) = $3,283
at its most expensive. I might not want to drive a 911 for more than 7 days a month and might want to swap it to a 718 next month or whatever. The freedom of choice is good.

7 days out of 31 is good enough for somebody like me. Id take that 7 days as a vacation and just go drive the piss out of it to banff, or california.

Flip the coin and do a lease on a 911. youre looking at 0 down and over 2500 a month but you gotta fork that money out even in nov, dec, jan, feb, and all the shit months that you dont really drive it. The months that you do drive it, you would probably try to maximize your experience but on the other hand, you want to preserve the car since its your own car and you wont drive it balls to the wall. So it makes sense for a dude like me who just takes it out on weekends for ha ha's, it might not make a lot of sense if you want to daily a 150k car.
