Car Envy. I'm not Immune

Post by buzyg » Tue May 03, 2022 6:46 pm

I'm pretty happy with my lot. Don't usually look twice at the neighbours cars. Mostly 4x4 and several nice sports cars.

Then today this appeared.

Rest assured I will be getting out in it first chance I get. Have given him plenty of my own hard earned over the years. :wink:

Another neighbour just bought a 996 Carrera S. He had a Z4M lined up, that fell through. Nice enough, but not in the same league as the AMG GT R. 8)

Can't agree with you there. For what is a proper super car, I think it is remarkably understated. 8)

Nice ride! Guess if he can afford the price of the car. He is not concerned about maintenance costs / insurance etc.
