996 road trip impulse purchase
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2022 8:48 pm
So, a typical conversation in our house goes a little like this.
Me: 'hey babe, look at this 'insert random daily car here'. It's in 'insert random state that isn't Texas.' Let's go buy it and make it a road trip.'
Mrs igrip: 'ok, whatever you want. Let's do it.’
Then I change my mind on the car and look at a different one the next day.
This time however, our friends called me telling me they wanted to sell their Porsche. I gave them a few avenues that I thought would work and added an extra option that he could just sell it to me and let me take care of selling. He liked that option and we made a deal. Only thing is that they live outside of New Orleans and we are 7 hours away.
I made my daily daydreams into reality by taking Mrs igrip for a crazy day trip. We flew into New Orleans in the morning, ate beignets and oysters and played tourists till late afternoon. We went to get the car and got on the road for a late night drive home. While we were driving, I said this is basically my dream life.
In typical fashion, I usually fall for all the cars that I drive and try to imagine my life keeping them all. This one was no different as it made a great road trip machine. And I’ve fallen for this 996 C4.
