I bring this thread up on this forum because it's the forum I came to originally.
We, who have owned these beasts for many years (37 in my case) must reach a point where we have to consider moving on. Not all, but I personally am having questions about this. I bring this up here because I am a CW & will always be. But, I have been thinking lately (six months or so) - is it time to put 2 nice cars into someone else's responsibility? I keep buying new parts, but never get around to installing them. Hell, I don't even need them! But, in the last year my interest is wanning. I don't have the physical capabilities to do what I used to, and I won't pay someone else to do what I KNOW how to do. I also have other interests, namely model railroading, which I've been involved in since before Porsches (do I sound like Jon Lowe?). I also don't have the urgency to do anything on the Porsches. I just don't think I care anymore, at least not enough. Used to be, when the garage temp rose above 50, I was there. Not any more. So, I'm asking for some opinions here. I will take all of them seriously. Should I get out? I'm inclined to do so. Can something re-awake the fire? I wonder. Your opinions are appreciated & welcomed. I'm on the brink. |
