I had a '70 911E from 1990-2002, which I daily drove for a while and then did a pretty thorough resto, then sold it to help with a house downpayment. I got at most half of what I'd put into it. Now that damn car would probably cover the whole downpayment, but that's life.
From around 1999-present I've also been into 914s but my current 914 got to the point where it was not really streetable anymore, and I started really jonesing for another 911 street car. So finally after many years I got this. It's a 2009 997.1 Turbo, manual trans. This is the last year of the classic Mezger GT1-type engine as well as one of the last manual trans turbos, but it has the updated PCM dash/electronics of the 997.2 generation. It is a really spectacular machine and I doubt I'll ever sell it, or my 914. Especially my 914.
