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. |

I am 61, and just finished building a Cobra replica. I can't use it as a daily driver. I test drove a 914 back in 1974 when I was in California attending college. I just bought a 1975 914 in April as my next project. I still have my Lionel trains that my Dad bought me for Xmas when I was 2, but I play with them when the temp dips below 50. I take the Cobra out every chance I get and the 914 will be my daily driver. The boys can have them when I'm gone. They have explicit instructions never to sell the Cobra! Get out and drive the Porsche's get the blood flowing your viens and the wind blowing in you hair (if you have any)!!! Enjoy it while you are able, life is too short!
