Letting go of your car.

Youtube, social networking sites, etc.I regret giving up my 981 because I loved the sound of its engine too much to let it go."I had seen many comments the other day thatThe story of letting go of Porsche 981 Boxster Cayman and regrettingI wrote an article about this, which received quite a bit of feedback.

And in the article, my husband, who is a

When I started driving the GT3, I was amazed at the tremendous performance of the GT3," he said.I think I might not need the Boxster anymore.There was a brief moment when I thought, 'I'm so glad I didn't rush out and buy a Boxster. I'm glad I wasn't in a hurry to let it go then.
That's why I said, "Let's let go of your car.Even if I sometimes have the feeling that "I'm not sure I want to do this," it would be good to settle down and wait for six months or so.

I received this comment on my blog when I wrote that I had said.

Your opinion that it is better to wait 6 months to sell is very helpful. By the way, has your husband ever regretted selling his GT3?

And.

My husband bought a 911 GT3 Touring (late 991) in May 2019; he owned it for about 2 years and sold it at the end of March this year, and I thought to myself, "Well, sure, if you ask me... I guess I don't regret it.I got this question from you. It's been two months since we broke up, do you regret it?I asked.

Do you regret giving up your 911 GT3?

Then my husband, who was

Well...sometimes I feel like riding, but so far, I don't think I regret it. Well...He didn't sell on impulse, he sold after months of thought.I thought about selling it...but I ordered it with a lot of care, I love it, and if I let it go, I would never be able to experience this excitement again, and I would regret it if I sold it. And it's a rare car because it's a touring car..." I thought about it a lot, but then I decided to sell it.
."I still think it's a waste of my time to own it and have so few opportunities to ride it.I sold the GT3 because I was convinced that "the GT3 might be happier if it were driven by someone who can drive it on a more daily basis," since "the GT3 is a very good car.

He replied.

Well...we sold the GT3 at the end of March of this year, but come to think of it, ever since last fall, my husband has been "in the market" for aWhat to do about GT3...I was thinking, "I'm not going to be able to do that. My husband also had this to say.

And in the case of GT3.I knew that if I ever "wanted another one," I could buy another one.
The late 991 GT3 is usually available on the used car market, and the new 992 GT3 is also likely to have a touring package. And from youtube, the engine sound seems to be pretty good, and I am sure that the performance has been further improved, so if you want a GT3, you can buy a car that feels similar to a 991 GT3 if you can afford it.
But.In the case of the 981 Boxster GTS, it was designed before the current noise regulations, and there were very few of them to begin with, and on top of that, mine was a left-hand drive MT car.I think I would regret it a lot if I let it go because I might.
So, whether I can buy another (similar car) if I want it or not, or whether I can never get it again... I think that makes a big difference in terms of whether I regret it or not.

He said.

Porsche Boxster GTS

I see...I think there must be a lot of worries about giving up a beloved car, in terms of feelings, finances, timing, and so on.

Finally, I couldn't help but laugh when the person who gave me the opening comment wrote, "Choosing a car is often compared to love, but I wonder if those who sell and later regret it are the ones who keep dragging it out after the breakup lol.

I, too, like the 981 Boxster GTS.I never want to give it up, and if I give it up now, I'll never get it again.I would like to become a woman who can be thought of as "a woman who is a woman" (laughs).

    It was a nice way to end the day, and I was very happy with the way it ended.
    May he be a "never to be found again" person for your husband and may he remain a "never to be found again" person for Mina for many years to come.

    Mina, I always enjoy reading your blog.
    Thanks for quoting my comment. m(_ _)m

    In my case, I sold my 987 Boxster S and 718 Boxster S and now I regret it.

    The 987 was not as agile or fast as the current model, the ride was not as comfortable, and there were rattles here and there due to its age, but I really enjoyed the feeling of that engine.
    I regret that I was not prepared to ride it out, partly because it was reasonably priced.

    Also, I sold the 718 because I just couldn't tolerate the sound of the 4-cylinder, but I regret it now because the options were over 4 million yen and specifications that I could never get again.

    I'm not ready yet, so I'm going to think hard and act accordingly for the next 6 months, not only for my car, but also for my personal life lol.

    P.S. When your new car is delivered, take a ride in my Mini Cooper S and compare!

    Hello Mina.

    I have commented elsewhere before.
    I finished the name change yesterday, and I'm now the proud owner of a 997 GT3!

    It is amazing that this car conveys so much information that you would think it has a will, but it is properly angled and not at all unpleasant.

    You mentioned cars and women. I guess I'm feeling pretty bad for adding a new car to my collection while keeping the one I've always had (laughs).

    I even bought a cover from Nakabayashi Industries after reading this blog!

      My husband said, "A 997 would be great-!!!!" (neither my husband nor I have ever driven a 997...but we would love to). (Neither my husband nor I have ever driven a 997... I really want to drive one).

      It's amazing that you can feel that way Gonta...! I feel your love for cars.
