Holy shit it took me 3 days to get through this thread.
I think most of what needs to be said as already been said, but I'm holding you on that "never buying another car" BS cause let's be real you and I and everyone here know it's BS.
When I bought the M3 I knew there was another car on the horizon for me. I just didn't know what it is yet.

Look at my sig. Aside from the E36 M3 that was pennies, nothing was actually purchased because I wanted to, it was a had to thing.
That's why, I'd only buy another car if it got written off. Or I guess if I actually sold the car which I'm coming to terms with alongside other changes I'm considering (moving out of BC/the country).

It's not gonna last 50 years is my point. Even if you don't get the itch of trading it in, you will need to replace it or find something else more reliable down the road. Cars will age, shit breaks. You will get to the same point as the 330 where it's just too expensive to fix and you'll go buy an EV.

Low key I went from an EV > X5 > Escalade > Mini Cooper last week - reminded me how simple is literally best sometimes.
I'm happiest in the little Cooper S ripping launch control at every stop light

As I’ve said before, go blow your load in Vegas. Spend a few G’s driving every one of your dream cars.
There will never be another car you can reasonably purchase that will ever come close to that experience, and odds are, you’ll be let down by the vehicles worth 5, 10, 20 times what you could possibly afford, so you’ll avoid the let down and chase of pursuing a vehicle lol.
100% that’s what happened to me. I’m still a huge car guy and love cars, but after ripping through gears in Aventador, 458, GTR, and ultimately driving some super cars locally (GT2 RS, etc.) I couldn’t even buy a corvette really and be like oh yea.. this hits the spot

I’ve always said that the Porsche car rental program is a fantastic deal for your fair weather enthusiasts. Like from Oct to March my cars are in hibernation anyways so a program like that makes a lot of sense to me.
Rent a month of stupid beetle or a month of Cayman and go nuts. Drive the shit out of it. You’ll still be ahead of owning one of these, and you’ll actually drive it the way they were engineered to be driven.

$4900/mo for a 911 GTS that includes 2500km and insurance. Nice spec too - green with a chalk interior. It's a "bargain" if you can swing it. Book 2 weeks off when you have it and cruise down the coast or do a road trip into the interior.

It is a bargain ! Because after about a month of ownership, the fad wears off and you’ll be left with a useless beetle that you barely drive or just occasionally take it to the grocery store.
This is the best of both worlds. You get the experience, none of the headaches of ownership and you literally are gonna drive the tires off it.

Lol goes from "here's how to be fiscally responsible" to go to Vegas to rent supercars, or rent a Porsche for 5k monthly.

Hey it’s like any addict, you can steer them away from it, but if the addiction is bad enough maybe you can find some lesser evils

Thinking about splitting the 2x GTS amongst 4 guys for a bro-trip down PCH.
That's insane value for $5K/2,500KM or splitting it 3-4 ways for the summer!

With the Porsche Drive program, I believe each rental allows for 2 drivers to be registered to drive the car.
So Bic Baws really just need to find a partner in crime, and he'd be all set for a 911 or something.

How'd we go from $1,500 mortgage being expensive to spending $2,500 a month on a 911 rental!

Considering a new 911GTS goes for over $300k after tax the Porsche Drive program is a steal (if you have the money and time). Would I rather rent a 911 once a month each year or buy a used ND Miata for $30k and keep it for 6 years? Since I don't really need a second car year round it seems like the 911 is a great deal.
