Unbiased opinion needed: Keep combo of W124 & 08 Porsche 911 OR get 1 sports sedan?
Which is better? Keeping a combo of '91 Mercedes 300E (from college days) & '08 Porsche 911 or have just one multi-tasker like BMW 750, 650, M6 (maybe an overkill) or Mercedes S-class?
But then, wait, do golf bags fit in the trunk of an SL500 or SL550?
My car from 91 Mercedes 300E is not dependable for long distance trips due to it age. It stranded me a few times, less than 4 times in the past 5 years which is not bad actually. And that's the reason it's a DD to my office which is less than 10 minutes away. I started to play golf again recently after I got a '08 Porsche 911. Golf bags don't fit into a Porsche with a passenger. Well, it does fit in the rear folded seat area, but with much work involved. I started thinking whether I should continue to drive to out-of-town golf courses my old Mercedes OR to just get rid of both 300E & 911 for just one car like the Mercedes S-class or a BMW 750/650/M6. One drawback: I'm still in my 30's, and I don't want to look like I took out my father's S-class or 750.
What would you do? Keep two cars or just get one comfortable sports sedan? Oh, one reason I got a sports car (had a Corvette and 01 Porsche 911) was because I got bored with the overly luxurious ride in my 91 Mercedes for about a decade. So I have a feeling I'm gonna miss a fast sports car after a while if I go with a sedan. But I would not want to take on a burden of keeping my 911 and getting another large sedan when I'm still single. I would rather use the money somewhere else.
