For that price, you can have two limos and a driver 24/7.

My former FIL had a limo and a full-time driver. The top of the line (at the time) Lincoln cost $75k and the driver was about $30k a year. It certainly took a lot of the worry out of going out and having a couple of adult beverages, which he did daily. I don't miss my ex-wife, but I sure do miss him. :-)

Love my ‘11 Cayman S with ECU remap that puts its HP over 911 levels, and my ‘76 914 that runs like new.

Having no power, all manual, below 60mph, the 914 is even more fun to drive than the Cayman. Has the VW Type IV engine, but hey, it’s the handling that counts. And a meager 100hp ain’t too bad in a car under 2,000 lbs. with a center of gravity that is maybe 9” above the pavement and a wide track.

Cayman is my 2nd and had it 8 years w/no plans to ever replace it.
