How far have you driven your 914 on a trip?
Would you rather have your 914 on a long journey, or a new Cayman let's say. Does the fact that you know your old car better than a new "Out of the box" Porsche make the choice any better? Sometimes I would rather have an old, easy to work on car on a very long drive than a computer riddled techno plactic Porsche for the real down and dirty. Allthough our 07 Cayman has been one of the best cars I have ever owned, 80k and going. I thought I would post the question anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
