How long does the walking out to the garage and being bummed you don't see your car there last?

All week I have been going into my garage to get something and saying "Oh...bummer."

Guess I had better get something in there soon.

I don't know, although I've been flirting with the idea of selling the 911 back to the PO. He said that he misses the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If you are thinking of getting something else or would like another toy...do it. You will make the PO very happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Then again, if you're not finished enjoying it DON'T DO IT.

Down in my signature line is a basic scientific principle: Nature abhors a vacuum.

Remorse, regret, and withdrawl. That's what you'll feel Jon. I sold my marthon blue, steel flaired, 3.0 6 conversion, with custom leather interior to buy a 911. I found a killer sexy black '91 C2, that I ended up trading for a new '00 Boxster, that I still have, and some $35k or so later, me and my wife both wish "old blue" was still here.

Oh I dunno about that. Paying off my bills feels great... I actually feel so much less stress already... but not having my car in the garage is weird and my son doesn't help asking where it is every few minutes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I love driving it, but the MFI motor makes me nervous. I don't want to have to put big bucks into repairs should they be necessary. Also, I may not drive it that much this year as I am learning to ride a motorcycle.

Selling it would free up space for another project bike, or maybe Babydoll ('74 2.0 with original D-Jet).

It never goes away. Within the past few years I sold a '67 911S Targa and a '66 911. Both beautiful low-mile examples. I second-guess myself all the time......

Probably not what you want to hear, but replacements do help. Especially when you can day-dream of what the project will turn out to be.

I sold a 73 911S about 10 years ago shortly after a divorce. I still regret it. I should have found a way to keep the car.

I sold my 914 to my idiot brother a few years ago ... he in turn sold it to a mutual friend.

I didn't feel right until I bought it back ... of course things are starting to get a little tight and I may be selling the car again (my idiot brother is pestering me to sell the car back to him again).

My 914 is a little whore ain't she?
