Default Just crossed two must-drives off of my bucket list

My buddies and I split the bill on renting an Elise and an '09 911 Carerra PDK this past weekend. I've driven a Cayman S pretty hard, but I was not prepared for the 911. I'm still young, but consider it a life goal to own one.

Now, the Lotus. Good grief. Raw, exhilarating, and insane. I couldn't imagine having one as my daily driver, but man, it would be an epic third car.

That is just awesome.
Bet it was a blast driving that Elise.

Got to start doing things like that myself - am not getting any younger!

No no. You got to climb mountains and ran marathon for that reason. You can drive all of them and future once later. Even if you get to them in a wheelchair.

That's complicated I'd rather drive the Elise, I'd rather own a 911. It's a daily driver, and I can toss my kiddos in the back.

Get the 911. Lotus is a track car, you can drive to the track. Not that you cannot track a 911. Putting a 911 into the wall however, hurts a little more!
