Let’s face it, it ain’t only dad dreaming about owning a Porsche (the Porsche Macan GTS for me, to be specific)… and just maybe you’re selfishly reading this thinking if you get him one, you get to use it too. Shame on you! Ha, kidding, I’d be accused of the same because I can’t say I didn’t think the exact same thing. But the reality is, that a six-figure vehicle isn’t in the cards for many. But how ’bout if I told you there is a more reasonable (approachable) way to now make that happen? And you may possibly (*I’m no accountant and legally cannot offer you tax advice) be able to write it off too.

Bear with me…and give me a chance to explain. If you were to go out and lease a high-end vehicle of any sort, from either a BMW to a Mercedes, Jaguar, or any of the Porsche lineup, you’d be looking at a pretty high lease payment, or even financing (depending on what cash you have to offer for a down payment). Over a thousand, to say the least… but then you have insurance, maintenance (which for luxury vehicles we both know is quite substantial, from $500 and up, per quarter or so depending on how much you drive). It all adds up, right?
The ultimate Father’s Day gift: A Porsche Drive subscription
Well, what if I told you that from $2650/month, you could subscribe to the Porsche Drive program, and have a brand new Porsche delivered to your house every week with Porsche Drive. Want to enjoy the Porsche experience without long term commitments, insurance and costly maintenance? The Porsche Drive subscription allows you to do just that, with single vehicle month-to-month options or multi-vehicle options with the ability to flip into another vehicle from the Porsche fleet available whenever you want. Sounds dreamy right? It is!
Luckily for me, I got to test it all out and let me tell you, I am still dreaming about it. If you’re looking for that milestone gift for pops, or your partner, this is it.

The full list of models available follows here:

One of the options available: The sexy, Porsche Macan GTS
Can we take a moment to talk about how sleek, sexy and powerful the Porsche Macan GTS is…? I was fortunate enough to take out several of the models available on the Porsche Drive list, including one of the 911s, the Cayenne, and the newly released Taycan…and although they were all sexy AF, the Macan left an impression. I loved the size. As a big guy, it can sometimes be tough because you don’t want your seat so pulled back that no one can sit behind you, but sometimes it’s necessary. Not in the Macan. The cockpit literally fits like a glove. The seats hug your body so nicely, with all their beautiful high-grade leather finishes, and an engine roar that is like no other. I was blown away. I also loved that it was smaller than the Cayenne, but not too small. Good on gas (because we can all feel the pains of a gas guzzler these days), nice handling and just soooo damn sexy in red. Loved it! It was honestly the only one I walked away from missing, and with no complaints. I highly recommend it, and as the most affordable option on the range, why not. Right? 
He’ll love you forever.
Porsche Drive: A service experience, like no other
Let’s face it, does anyone enjoy maintaining our cars? I beg to differ, hahaha. Whether it’s keeping on top of oil changes, timing belts (which somehow sounds like a watch reference to me lol), alternators, etc. To keeping your sexy car looking brand spanking new and shiny… it’s easier said than done. Especially when it comes with a price tag. Well, Porsche Drive subscribers don’t need to worry about any of that. From tire rotations, to winter tire swap outs and storing, to even car washes and detailing… their white glove service does it all. With a service level that is just outstanding.
Perfect for the Entrepreneur
One of the beauties of the program is that because it’s a subscription model, the cost of the vehicle, if used for work purposes, may be eligible to be used as a business expense. Making it a write-off. While I’d definitely check with your accountant on that, just to cross our Ts and dot our I’s, there’s a whole lot of other perks too, like everything being included. From unlimited flips (as in flipping cars from a 911 to a Macan–think how convenient that is when the whether ‘flips’), insurance and maintenance too.
A Porsche available at your fingertips, literally. Just open up the app and then your ride shows up (obviously within a scheduled drop off time, but you know what I mean). And it arrives at your door, with white glove delivery service. Is that bad @$$ or what.
