I remember the story. Funny because I never really picture old Bill as a sports car kind of guy.

Just about ideal spec imo. Love the dark wood interior trim as well and had no idea that was an option.

With the exception of maybe the Benz, all are 3rd or 4th cars in the fleet. The Porsche could be a primary driver, dare I even say all year daily.

I bet not! Absolutely agree that a lambo would be a 3rd car (including wife's), for sure. But it would make every journey way more special than the Porsche.A $2K-$3K annual budget for maintenance on a supercar is the norm, I'm fine with that.
