Bought my last one last November, hadn't run in 10 yearsand had no idea the condition on the engine, by December I was driving to work occasionally and every weekend, fixing thing as I went, only left me stranded once, bad relay board, even autocrossed it a few times, total miles to date 9300, mostly 1-3 hr drives.
I guess too it depends on why you bought your car....I bought mine to drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) And yes you're being a wimp, the wife wants to ride in the 914...take the 914. And remember a break down can be an adventure, it's all how you look at it. Jeff |
