I’d agree this is probably 20k. I had a similar (but less aggressive) scratch on an eTron a couple years back thanks to a random jackass in a parking deck that didn’t leave a note or anything. Because of the aluminum door, the body shop had to replace the entire thing and the popped out and filled the rear panel that was steel. My insurance first gave us a bunch of hassle on the cost, but it was a certified Audi shop and they walked them through all the items for the repair and it eventually got done 8 weeks later

I’d say you have a few choices… a 1/18 scale model of a GT3 or one of the race cars, history of the 911 book, or a book on Porsche history with LeMans, OR a cool hat or t shirt. Lots of options really…just whatever would keep his interest and grow the hobby for him

No way….1/18 scale GT3…would be an awesome gift

You car looks familiar 🤭

Michelin all day

Pcarmarket and/or Cars & Bids are full of Porsche car enthusiasts

Ok….lets do a drag race 🤔. Sport Plus & Launch control…bye bye you just got yo ass whooped by a 4 banger 🤣

The argument to your family is that it is super practical with a frunk and trunk AND it’s a 4cyl so it is very economical and a practical car to use every day.

Turbo…no carbon ceramics in there

991.1 and my go to is sport with PSE on. If I’m commuting or on a highway cruise it goes int to base mode for the coast feature and quieter exhaust. Driving on normal twisties it’s in sport mode and manual and I use the shifter to change gears (while not a manual I still like reaching over to change gears…because the multi-function wheel is still a bit odd to me). I’m only ever in sport plus on those real twisty isolated roads where I’m Gettin’ it and feel more comfortable with both hands at the tiller….OR if I want to do a launch control session.
With two previous reconstructive knee surgeries on my left knee….three peddlers are no longer my friend. 😢

Nice! Congratulations

I’d say if you want it but it. You probably won’t find another 718 Cayman S under 55k any time soon
