Porsche 911 GT3<\/h3>\n

We have a lot of miniature cars at home. Between the ones we\u2019ve received at Porsche events and fairs, a Carrera Cup car given to us by a friend, and the models my husband has bought, I\u2019d say we have more than 20\u2026(including three of the same model in some cases)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And now my husband has bought yet another model. This time, it\u2019s a 1:18-scale 911 GT3 Touring<\/strong>. He ordered it before buying his GT3, but it was out of stock. Now that it\u2019s finally arrived, he\u2019s absolutely delighted.<\/p>\n

He chose the body color called Chalk<\/strong> (apparently, it\u2019s called Crayon in some markets)<\/span>, but when we opened the box, the model looked much more gray than expected. It was clearly a different shade from Crayon. Even so, my husband was thrilled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I realized something: \u201cWait, hadn\u2019t you already bought a 911 GT3 Touring model? (-_-)<\/strong>\u201d I went to look\u2014and sure enough, there it was: a 1:43-scale 911 GT3 Touring.<\/p>\n

    I asked him, \u201cWhy buy another 911 GT3 Touring model when you already have one?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cSure, I bought a smaller model before, but it\u2019s white, so it doesn\u2019t really look like my GT3. And I wanted something more realistic. I wanted one that looked more like my own car, so I bought this 1:18-scale Minichamps model in Chalk. Now I have both!\u201d<\/p>\n

    Apparently, the 1:43-scale model was limited to 504 units, while the 1:18-scale version was limited to 300. This 1:18 model is impressively detailed: the doors open, and the interior, steering wheel, gauges, and center console look a lot like the real thing.<\/p>\n

      What I just can\u2019t wrap my head around is this: We have a real 911 GT3 in our garage that we can look at and drive whenever we want. So why buy a model of it, too?<\/strong> When I asked my husband, he said:<\/p>\n

      \u201cI know, but\u2026 I want to be able to admire my car inside the house, too. That\u2019s why I wanted a model that looks as realistic as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Hmm\u2026 Sorry, but I still don\u2019t really get it\u2026 lol.<\/p>\n

      Is Owning a Porsche Model Alongside the Real Car Worth It?<\/h3>\n

      So I tweeted about it\u2026<\/p>\n

      My husband bought large and small 911 GT3 Touring models, and they\u2019ve just arrived\u2014he\u2019s so excited. But if you already own the real thing, do you still want a model of it…?😂 I told him, \u201cYou can see the real car anytime you go to the garage!\u201d but it didn\u2019t seem to make the slightest difference to him. lol pic.twitter.com\/14UAEsJ6e1<\/a><\/p>\n
