    Weekend trade?? Early open 911/356 for 997.2 gt3 wedding getaway car

    Howdy, not sure where to post this, so if I'm in wrong spot, my apologies. This maybe a stupid question, but I'm full of them I have my wedding in just over 20 days, in kenwood/Sonoma. was planning on using ossi blue S as getaway car, but fiancée just said blue won't fit wedding colors, and she wants a convertible of some sort, a vintage convertible to be specific, in either silver/white/black. Obviously no one rents classic cars that I can find, and ive been looking. Talked to Paul at auto kennel today, talked w Retrosport in Berkeley as well. Now, I get why no one would rent them, too much downside, maybe zero upside, financially. So, here's the dumb question, anybody want to trade for the weekend? I have a 997.2 gt3, perfectly sorted e30 m3(Rick's old car, now w fresh paint), e28 m5, e46m3, 69 911hr(Paul's old car ), Audi q7 if u wanna go to tahoe( yes, I'm really digging deep here, I know), and of course $$, there's always that. Car is not needed for cruising and rackn up the miles, rather it would be used for a getaway car from top of private property, to the house on bottom of same property. Was trying to buy open car, but right now i can't afford the 356 roadster I really want(all those who have paid for own wedding can understand that one!) still eyeballing the 912swt at European collectibles, but not sure I want it THAT bad. Good or bad, Any thoughts appreciated! I live in San Ramon, ca. I'd say even up to 993 cab would still be vintage enough. If all else fails, will probably rent either 997 cab, or 550 replica, of course I would prefer older than 997, and real. Everyone knows I cannot afford a 550 thanks!!

    I was with you on that, but the dang 550 got reserved 2 months ago for that particular weekend, as i found out yesterday.
    I'm big on the 'no worries things always work themselves out', its my uc Santa Cruz philosophy degree, but I'm failing thus far. Stan gave me a solid 993 cab option, which I'm very thankful for!
