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.
You've got to fill the hole or the wife will notice the open space and find filler of her own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Don't defy nature! |

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.

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.

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. 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? |
