Spotted this one on a walk home from brunch. Kinda dig the power wagons.
Then we went to Porsche. The sales guy was super passionate, and just as an enthusiast, not as a salesperson. Made him super easy to talk to. He showed me the GT3RS, GT4RS, standard GT3, and was telling me all about them. He even fired up the GT4RS on the showroom floor. I have always loved Porsche, just had been out of reach.
We eventually settled on a 2024 Cayenne Coupe in Chalk that was gorgeous. They tinted the windows, detailed it, and got it ready to pick up today. Then last night my wife asked, "Do you think we should get the Cayenne S?" As fate would have it, they had one dropped yesterday evening (I know it wasn't here before because we had seen everything and he showed me the drop slip dated yesterday). I messaged the sales guy at 10PM and asked about it. He said it just came in and he thought it was a customer allocation, because all 6 they had received previously were customer allocations. Well, this morning I get an excited text saying it wasn't allocated and he sent me a bunch of photos. We drove down to check it out. Couldn't drive it because it was still in nerfed "delivery" mode. My wife and I talked about it for about 30 minutes, then they bought us lunch while they worked up some numbers. In the end, the cold start rumble, massaging front seats, and two-tone leather treatment won the wife over. The one thing she didn't like were the wheels. I talked to them because the Coupe we were supposed to buy had the wheels we wanted. Their manager wouldn't switch them out (I don't blame him it messes up his build sheets, but I wanted to ask anyway). They came back and said they could paint them any color we wanted. They do that occasionally for some of their other clients. So, we picked the same satin black that was on the 911 GT3. Only issue is now we have to wait till Monday. Either way I am like a kid waiting for Christmas, so is the wife.
This particular dealer had an exceptional dealer experience. Hopefully it lasts, because I am finally getting a dream car in the stable. The wife was even looking at the 911s for something down the road.
Here are the wheels we liked (same ones on the one we bought, just painted gloss black. We are getting Satin black because I think it goes better with the black trim pieces and won't show dust as bad):Have:
XLBGE / Stumps Baby XL / Couple of Stokers (Gen 1 and Gen 3) / Blackstone 36 / Maxey 3x5 water pan hog cooker
Had:

I drove it to the office the other day, then ended up at a happy hour, then gave some friends rides.
Wife was very unhappy, especially because I also had both sets of Jeep keys with me for some odd reason. She had to borrow our daughter's car. She was suitably pissed.

esteem issue. I'm doing fine financially but I don't even try to "keep up with the joneses" out here. Id have to be a low end millionaire just to scratch the surface. My wife and I both have to work.
The car situation is the result of the fact that I live in the wealthiest county in Texas. That's all 95% of the people out here do is compete for who has the most wealth, It's their Hobby.That was my point, I'm sitting in what most would deem to be a very nice car and I look like im parking my dented KIA Rio at Walmart. There are 16 year old kids out here with brand new Corvettes and Platinum F-250s or Range Rovers. Maybe I misunderstood your reply but it ain't me with the self esteem issues its these 1%ers that I live around.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

@TEXASBGE2018
One way to look at it - one could be proud to have come from relatively modest means in an area surrounded by people who were possibly (likely?) born into it. I’ve always felt that one can appreciate it infinitely more if they had to earn it, regardless of where they ultimately end up sitting financially. -

I had read your prior post about that in the past and greatly enjoy seeing it again. Insightful. As I think I relayed, my wife is a professional pianist and so she bought a grand piano (technically, a “large grand” but much smaller than what you would see in an orchestra) while in university - funded entirely by her as a result of years of hard work and long hours teaching while also a student. It now sits in our living room and she uses it almost exclusively for work. I wish she played more for pleasure.We know many people with grands (parked in the window, as you’ve described) - none of whom play. I would say that it remains a status symbol in some circles, though probably to a much lesser extent than it was during your father’s (and his father’s) heyday, and to your point, certainly less than cars, nowadays. -

Yes. We were at his place for Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. We watched this review of the GT3 - a pretty good channel by a few fellow Canucks - https://youtu.be/3HuZviMoEkc?si=3mOE68U4BKfgXwXx. Watched it in his indoor cigar lounge with some Scotch before a fantastic smoked turkey by another B-I-L, who does turkeys perfectly year after year. No pictures of any of that. -
