Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Close. Perfect spec 335i is a 2014 RWD M Performance Edition with a stick in Laguna Seca Blue. There are at most 2-3 in the country though.

Is his not exactly that or it’s the darker blue?

The M performance is loaded with options including some additional performance stuff, skirts and stickers, and is a bit darker.

I’d like to think mine is the gentleman’s spec, zero options except paint :)

Went to The Canadian Brewhouse for lunch (on Saturday).  First time there, so I ordered a burger.  Easy - I don't like to think too much and figure I gotta try every place's burger.  Well, I can tell you, if you're ever in Western Canada....don't bother with the burgers at The Cdn Brewhouse.  You'd think for $16+ they could use a real in home made beef burger patty.  Maybe they're connected to Loblaws or some other shi#ty chain and they have to use their pre-formed frozen "meat" patties, but that wasn't a $16 burger.  Cold pressed clones mfgd on the same line they make bologna...lips and arseholes all rolled into a fake meat burger.  The patty is a good size, bigger & thicker than Mr Mikes (who use the same shi#ty supplier only thinner) just not impressed.  I'm spoiled by the locals who use real beef.  Shoot, McD's angus burger tastes beefier.  Shoulda gone for the wrap.

He needs to start a thread telling us how much is in the kitty and we'll scrounge through the internet finding the best bargains (or the worst ;D)

The plan is to hold myself accountable to all of you enablers...

...Running 944 is the next level (non-turbo / S of course)

Lol...to be clear, I'm not interested in a 944, parts car or running, but just describing what I can currently afford based on my meager Porsche fund.

My mind is fixated on something like this as a nice all-season daily driver:

https://www.autotrader.ca/a/porsche/911/oakville/ontario/5_45122023_20130514154504577/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&ursrc=hl&orup=3_14_14&pc=L5R3A7&sprx=100

Obviously there is a massive chasm between $2,000 and that, and lots in between, but gotta start somewhere :)
