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 ?

@tomic602 - nice Lil (what is that?) garage. I'm sure the Porsche dealer was thrilled while you ate pizza in their showroom waiting for a better deal.....

You should try a Cayman GT4 - I'd get one if it only had a sunroof (maybe GTS - the 4's are kinda pricey with the markups) ....Caymans are more fun than 911s. I'm not a cab guy.

Don't be jealous of McLarens - $2K for an annual oil service - if you can get an appointment that is.

I’ll be honest, and I have no shame...I buy one piece at a time, ok sometimes 2....on credit. I then pay it off over time. I am very selective on what I buy, as i will be keeping it for a long time. Music Direct is one resource, as they offer up to 3 years to pay on large ticket items, zero interest. There is also paypal credit, they run offers for 24 mo. @ zero interest with a minimum payment required. Just as long as you can afford to pay it back and you are not laid off or fired, then I do not see an issue. Otherwise, with mortgage and other bills, I’m not sure how else I’d have what I have today. Oh, I also sell on Ebay and on occasion here....that helps fund something new or what have you. It can get to be a merry go round, but at some point you smarten up and settle on what you have. Nowadays I spend my money on LP’s....that can get out of hand too! 😁

pag gt cars do not have sunroofs as they are meant to be track tools

the only, and notable, exception is the 997.1 gt3 which came to the usa with sunroof only, as in 2006-7, pag had not yet certified non sunroof 911’s with the usa dept of transportation, since the 997 chassis/body was only introduced in 2005 - by 2008-09 the certification of the slicktop 997 was done, thus the 997.2 gt3 was sold in the usa only without sunroof

that been said, the new 718 cayman gts has the new 4.0 liter mill... and softer suspension tuning than gt4 or boxspy... would be a very nice dual purpose car
