members and their systems


for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

I decided to 'downsize' both my house and my toy collection. 

Got rid of my 911 and C63S and bought a used Toyota Camry.


My sincere condolences. I told my wife when I got my first 911 18 years ago that this is the car I'm driving until I can't get in or out of it.....

Hopefully health wasn't a factor in your decision.

At least you won't be incurring much in terms of depreciation cost....
Anyone sells a 911 to buy a Camry is beyond help. I don’t care how old you are. As Jerry Seinfeld says, "This is a dead man’s car." It is a bit much to say you should be buried in it. But only a bit.

I got my first 911 30 years ago and recently told my wife I’m driving the next one forever. Here it is. https://youtu.be/bXRyy-RBuzc?t=566 Watch closely, you can see the ride change from Sport to Normal. Only in a Porsche 911 is 190mph "Normal".
@mrklas I recently advertised on Facebook my 2002 BMW M3 E46 that I had bought brand new (200K miles). I have 150 responses in 1 hour and a guy who had seen my car on my driveway before came to my house 10 minutes after the ad went up and game me cash. 

I am now driving a 12 year old Chevy Aveo, a bicycle, and also new speakers. Pretty happy the way things went.
190 in a 996 X-50 is child's play. It lacks the soul of the 993...
they simply are different creatures with some common dna...

i currently own neither, mostly because I believe in sampling...

like colors.. Zanzibar Red, Adventurine Green, Garnet, and ( of course ) Slate Grey...
