I would love to own a VW Phateon, but the potential for financial ruin is just so high.

I like the air-cooled 911s because I think they look better and they feel more like “machines” than “products”, if that makes sense. I generally like the most rudimentary, mechanical version of things.

I also have almost no desire for anyone but me and my friends to be aware of the existence of my cars, and GT cars are impossible to ignore. They’re fantastic, but impossible to ignore.

Lastly, the GT cars a bit overkill for the road. I’ve realized that my driving pleasure is more or less proportional to how close I am to the limits of traction.
