I want to say that I really appreciate the sympathy, guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It's truly nice to know I ain't the only one that's experienced this: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)
As to the car and it's situation (especially relative to a 914, which I really began to love after meeting Joe O'Brien and driving actual, running, fun 914s and buying my first one with a plan to make it a /6 semi-beast), owning a Porsche of any kind is a commitment to maintenance and care. True, the front-engine series by Porsche are known to be maintenance intensive, and I accepted that. I didn't learn from others' mistakes and now am having to pay for my own. But really, when you get down to it, there are two main points that have driven (ha) me to own what I own: (1) I have a passion of driving performance automobiles that will die the very second I do, and (2) I own my possessions, they don't own me. So ... here's to owning cars that, yes, frustrate and cost us $ ... and here's to the same passion of making them worth it. I ain't gonna let this hold me back from enjoying the road. (well OK maybe for a few months) Thanks again for the sympathies! Hope to have more positive stuff to talk about when the 914 3.2 is at Series9 being built! - Nelson |
