End of an era: sold our Mazda5

[ljmattox]

Or traded in, rather, last week.

Bought new in February 2010, 86,000 miles of commuting and vacation trips, usually with our German shepherds.

No repairs, just tire replacements and oil changes (in my garage at home). Original brake pads that whole time, a first for me.

So what'd you trade it in for?

They are reliable. That's for sure.

What did you get?

Trust me counting the days. 911 turbo or GTR. No more 4 door ever...

IMHO, go with a GTR. Once you've seen one Porsche, you've seen them all. They all (somewhat) look alike to me and only a purist (which I'm not) can tell you the difference. To me all Porsches are boring looking except for the 918 Spyder, now that's a beast I'd love to own...only in my dreams though

GTR is fantastic. Issue is the tranny (for me). I like 3 pedals. I miss my 993. NEver should have sold it (if you see how the market is appreciating now).

If I didn't have the 2 kids, GT3 RS would be it for me.

Don't have the coin for a 918 brotha!

but it's a Nissan.

And Nissan doesn't have cool commercials like this (appropriate video response for 90210)

Porsche: do it for your children's self-esteem. (naughty)

I drove a GT-R from LA to Bakersfield to Vegas. It was a ton of fun and that car has an amazing amount of grip, way more than I'm comfortable with pushing it.

Only way to go, though Guards Red isn't bad
