He means try not to get involved with any kind of differing opinion. IMHO.
That's not what I mean. Obviously. I quote " enjoy your Elise."
Translation, " enjoy your piece of s
t."Completely disrespectful and you know SFA about that " Elise". I'm not surprised Ronin had a Clarkson moment. Not antagonism - you're a proper card.

To use your own phrase:I quote " enjoy your Elise."

And I watched the 18 minute Jay Leno program about the car with great interest.So once again you are wrong.

Put your handbags away ladies.
It's a forum, not the pub (luckily for most of the "hard nuts" on here).

I have never felt very prescriptive about what other people should buy. Want a Turbo?..good. GT3? fine. Prefer manual to PDK?...why not. In the end of the day the variety of what motivates cars buyers is endless. The "real driver" argument to me seems like a lot of willy-waving.
Personally, I rate myself as track-competent, not competitive, but i enjoy the experience of a few track days a year. Logically I do not need a GT3RS, but i like them and enjoy the experience of driving them. There is a very strong argument that the premium in price is not matched by a premium in performance, which is true. In the end though, it just feels a bit more special and I am picking up my third one in Zuffenhausen in September, will run it in and do my usual trip to Spa and the NS.
If people prefer an Elise, Corvette, Ferrari or anything else, they'll get no criticism from me. Its their money. If an excellent driver in an objectively slower car passes me, it does not crush my ego. Its just about having some fun on the track, not being a gladiator.
This is the most sensible post on here....and has been ignored by the PH massive as it states the blindingly obvious. But the massive are not interested in reasoned, objective and experienced views.

No, the usual suspects have extreme views at either end of the spectrum, usually written in reaction to someone's polar opposite opinion.
Cutting , quoting and pasting madly, 'where's that parrot pic ...there...submit...great...feel better now'....coming dear'.
And these are grown men.

Must say Sidicks is probably the most enthusiastic owner of the 991 GT3 on PH's, and probably anywhere else. 
I'm only doing it to try and increase the price of cars so that I can sell mine at a profit and buy another status symbol.Allegedly..
I have no doubt you would jettison your car if it was dropping at the rate of £5k per month down to £100k.
It's always the jack offs like this chump si-dick to muck up a discussion... Too worried about deprecation to beat on the car due to a loss of value....
Ya may as well save your girlfriend for the next guy too....
I put on another 220 miles on my S today and have to scrape the dead bugs off once again.. I bought my S to drive and so glad I made the right move...
It was nice of a new black 991 GT3 owner to pull over to let me and my biker buddies pass safely in the canyons this morning...
All I could do was smile as I waved thanks, I'd bet he is now wondering if he bought into the hype and is now having second thoughts....
There is no substitute for a proper road car that can smoke track cars with ease..... just sayin
