Wow, thank you so much @18echosf! That comment totally made my day. I absolutely believe that cars are best enjoyed when driven and are meant to be driven. I'm always inspired to see Porsches with high miles because that means they've given their owner(s) a lot of smiles. The adventures that you have while driving vastly eclipse the boredom of a car sitting in a garage.

Very similar story. I had to wait 40 years for my own 911. Aged 16, I cleaned my neighbour’s. 911, and promised his beautiful daughter that, one day, I would own my own 911. Took 40 years, but eventually I ordered a brand new 991.2 PDK C2. The beautiful daughter, messaged to congratulate. Even though in the 40 years I had emigrated, and become a paraplegic. I collected my Porsche from the dealership, and then the very next day, I drove 1000miles from Cape Town to Jo’burg. There, I collected my late friend’s son, who, himself had just become a wheelchair user after a knife attack. So a week later we had 2 paraplegics, 2 wheelchairs, and all our luggage, 1000 miles back to Cape Town. I would do that trip every month until Covid, so mty car now has 180 000km. But still every km is fun. An example is the return trip home. I will have been in the car for 13 hours. The very last 50km offers a choice, either through a long, boring tunnel, and save 10km and 5 min, or over a twisty mountain pass. I ALWAYS take the pass, even in bad weather. Oh, by the way, I did choose Blue - metallic sapphire blue for mine. With chalk & crayon interior.

Porsche handled the temporary German registration (included - but I had to pay for it till the car was shipped to US (and then I got all of that back, and used part to pay for the local taxes). I can HIGHLY recommend it ... Unfortunately BMW stopped doing ED this year (I got my M5CP in Munich summer '19, and pretty much the same deal + 5% off list price ... so it was actually cheaper than getting it in the US, but I had to wait a bit till the dealers had enough cars where they wanted to do this (why I did not get it in '18). Volvo and Mercedes also offer this program (might be that MB is also planning to stop it). Unfortunately Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren does not, so that has to be a US buy... or you have to deal with all the stuff yourself (but I'm working to figure out how to do it, as I think it's not too hard. Found a insurance company I can work with, and I can ship the car back to US in a rented container for ~$5,000. These trips are amongst my most fun memories (next I plan to drive through Canada and north in Alaska ... and back again :). All over in Europe parking is tight, so it can be stressful, roads are not as wide as US (even Autobahn), but the tarmac is way better (except border between old East Germany and Poland ... that was a BUMPY ride :). But all over not a big deal, other than people drive much better in general, and road rage is super rare. First time I flew my brother to Germany and we drove together up to Norway, second time I flew my brother and father down and drove them back home (to Norway). (I'm not retired, so I just took 3 weeks off work, but you can extend the insurance to be 30/60/90 days (there is a max limit though), and I do plan at some point to do an extended stay (perhaps when I retire :) Next time I plan to drive south through Italy and up the French Riviera and up to Portugal.

Same idea, fly in and drive it back as I did with the 991 in this video and I also did it with my Audi S4 which I picked up in Las Vegas (actually in that case I was in NYC on business and rather than booking my return flight back to SF, I just booked it to Las Vegas, picked up the car, and drove the rest of the way home). Prior to buying the white 991 in the video, I was almost ready to close a deal on a dark blue 991 in Pennsylvania and I would have driven that back to California as well, but then I found the white car and it had some nicer options for basically the same price so I am happy that worked out.

Good question! Actually I don't think they were uncomfortable as they did a 4 hour stint with no stops from Seattle to Portland. But I think after our night in the hotel, the idea of doing 2 more long stints like that (we were going to break up the remaining drive) was something they weren't really looking forward to...including my wife. Your kids will definitely fit just fine, you might need a special car seat for the 2 year old...one the 2 year is in a booster seat it's really easy though.

The only downside to this video is that I could only like it once!!! 😊

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. You can watch it over and over again if you want. Haha.

Terrible idea, good memories.

Ha yeah that pretty much sums it up! Eventually the kids will be too big to do this, but hopefully we can take that car on another trip soon.

Thought this was about how the 911 was packed with family stuff for 2 adults + 2 kids. Change the title to family road trip with winter cloths

Heck yeah, most useful sports car! If you have to leave the car at home for any reason, that destroys the fun.

Those cheap bastards didn't give you a free tank of gas? WTH

LOL, I'm not gunna hold that against them actually. It was the best car purchase experience of my life!

The back seat is only for kids. Nice car nonetheless.

Hey thanks for watching! Yeah...kids mainly. My wife fits back there too though! I would say anyone under about 5'7" would be OK at least for a short trip.

Nobody wanted to sit in this car for too long esp the back pax

Thanks for watching Marco and for the comment! The Granturismo is a beautiful car and the engine sound is pretty amazing.

well... to be fair, both of these cars are not 4 seater cars! they are 2+2 seaters and expecting them to be comfortable in back... well, you know! and by the way... back seats are not the only things that can make a car a better daily driving one! mileage, ground clearance, max capacity & weight that car can handle, being drivable in some narrow roads, being easy to park, price & equipments, gearbox settings & so on & so on & so on...

@@marcofrancini2959 I should admit... of course Maserati is more comfortable. but that comfort costs being fat & wide! that's all I'm saying. being wide for a car with that price is not so good I believe. however... Maserati's sound! damn, that car has a golden voice 👌🏻
