Hi. I'm Dave and have a 2021 992 TTS that is my daily driver. I have three young children and love that the kids can fit in the car (not all three) and being able to take the car to pickups and drop offs without drawing too much attention. My wife drives a Lucid Air Touring that I also love to drive. We also have a 2013 MB GL450 suv that was our main kid hauler before they grew out of car seats and that is still great for long road trips. The Lucid is great on the highway but even with all the legroom, three kids in the back is still uncomfortable for the one sitting in the middle, and I don't want to have to plan out a recharging schedule when we have children with unpredictable food and bathroom needs.
I am starting to learn more about and get interested in older 911s. When the kids grow up more and I have more time, I will likely get older generation model with a manual.

Hi, Ian from Australia.
I'm a mechanic, working mainly on competition cars (rally and circuit racing). A few years ago i looked after 944's in our local 944 Challenge Cup racing and a 968CS in Tarmac Rally Trim.
Getting back into Porsches with a 944 S2 .
