  • IMO - it’s almost never worth temporarily getting a mass produced car to hold you over, unless you’re chasing something quite rare.

    You’re going to lose minimum 10k if you trade it in 1 day later at the dealer. A carrera S, 4S, or even a base GT3 isn’t too difficult to find (despite what the dealer says there are hundreds for sale right now).

    You’re better off looking through the entire inventory in the US and just negotiating free delivery to your address.




  • As a former resident of Canada —- it’s a true hellscape culturally, economically, and environmentally. As much as people dump on the USA in this forum, it is much more difficult to make a comfortable life for yourself as a Canadian. I am so much happier in the US than I could ever be in Canada. Every time I visit Toronto again I am incredibly grateful to have left.

    Housing is expensive and overall low quality (lots without yards, cookie cutter housing, overpriced because there are no property taxes, high competition from foreign buyers), the urban environment is incredibly dull (the same 15 big box stores basically repeat every 1km in block manner), and on top of that you constantly have to live with the borderline propaganda about how much better Canadians have it than Americans.

    The parts of Canada where most of the jobs are (Ontario) are geographically worse than the Midwest of the US, and on top of that freezing cold 5-6 months of the year. There aren’t many activities for pleasure and it seems like people in Canada don’t understand the concept of “having fun.”
