I'd Choose The 997 GT3 RS Simply Because Of The Manual Gearbox
CAR WARS! Sibling Rivalry! WHICH Porsche 911 GT3 RS Would YOU Favor? The 997 Or The 991?
While there's no question that the all-new 911 (991) GT3 RS is the closest the iconic German brand has got to actually putting a track car on the road, a lot has changed. There's a lot of all-new technology in the GT3 RS, which is a reflection of how much technology is in the brand's proper race cars. Oh, and it's really fast. Thing is though that all the reviewers that have piloted said that it's hard to tell the difference from the standard GT3 unless you get it on the track and push it to 10/10ths.
The older 997-generation GT3 RS is a different story. Still a simpleton, it took what the GT3 did and just went a bit more bonkers with it. Unlike the all-new RS model, it is a purist's dream — it lacks all the previously aforementioned technology. Think of it as an ode to analogue.
And we know these cars will command a premium going down the road.
Having said all of that, WHICH Porsche 911 GT3 RS would YOU put in your garage? The 997 or the 991?

Finally, A Favorable Decision For The Father
Dad Sick of Paying Rent for Ivy-League Educated Kids, Goes to Court
A father who wanted to stop subsidizing rent for his 20-something kids had a victory in court — the judge threw out an agreement that he and his ex-wife made, requiring him to pay nearly $4,000 a month for his gainfully employed children’s living expenses.
According to a court ruling reported in the New York Post, Jeffrey Liberman began subsidizing the expenses of his son and daughter in 2010, when they both lived at home, in order to “assist them in getting on their feet and becoming financially independent.” When both kids moved out, Jeffrey and his then-wife, Julie, a stay-at-home mom, signed a contract stating that Jeffrey would continue to give each kid $1,900 a month. In return, the Post says, Julie agreed to try to resolve the couple’s marital problems.
