I figure we need a poll to settle the Porsche vs Vette thread that has come up.
This isn't about affordability.

If you mean your driver's license, that will cost you. You will have to go again through the entire process of getting tested and paying exhorbitant fees in order to get a new license. Meanwhile, employees of institutions will want to know why you do not have a 'real' ID.loseyourname said:I was driving an Expedition until my license expired and I didn't bother renewing it.

Someone will have to drive you down to the DMV and let you borrow his car and sit around waiting while you are tested. The DMV driving tester will be curious to know why you seem to know how to drive.
It really depends on where you live. If you live in a big city like Los Angeles you can make it by with walking, riding a bicycle, the bus, and taxis, each with its pros and cons.loseyourname said:I know it's almost impossible for most modern people to imagine living without a car, but it's really not that bad.

Actually, I think that might be the race version of the BMW M3 GTR. The fastest production time on that list looks like 7:32.4 for the Carrera GT.zanazzi78 said:Thank you, BWM from where ... EUROPE!
The Porsche Carrera GT and Chevy Corvette are both high-performance sports cars, but there are several key differences between them. The Carrera GT is a mid-engine car with a V10 engine, while the Corvette is front-engine with a V8 engine. The Carrera GT also has a manual transmission, while the Corvette has an automatic transmission. Additionally, the Carrera GT has a more luxurious interior and a higher price tag compared to the Corvette.
Both the Porsche Carrera GT and Chevy Corvette have impressive performance capabilities. The Carrera GT has a top speed of 205 mph and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Corvette has a top speed of 194 mph and can go from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Ultimately, the better performance will depend on personal preferences and driving style.
Both Porsche and Chevy have a reputation for producing reliable cars. However, the Carrera GT is a limited production car and may require more specialized maintenance and repairs. The Corvette, on the other hand, is a more common car and may have more accessible parts and service options.
The Porsche Carrera GT is significantly more expensive than the Chevy Corvette, both in terms of initial cost and ongoing maintenance. The Carrera GT has a starting price of over $400,000, while the Corvette starts at around $60,000. Additionally, the Carrera GT may require more expensive maintenance and repairs due to its limited production and specialized parts.
Neither the Porsche Carrera GT nor the Chevy Corvette are designed for everyday use. They are both high-performance sports cars that are better suited for track driving or occasional use. However, the Corvette may be more practical for everyday use due to its more affordable price and more practical features such as a larger trunk and more comfortable seating.
