[AFB24911S]

Fellow car enthusiasts,

I am at a crossroads with my vehicular choices. I've moved to a city where I can do everything I need to do on a bicycle: the ride to work is less than 10 minutes, there are many grocery stores within a short ride, and the public transportation is so good that I can get to just about any other neighborhood easily.

I have a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia (sports seats, LSD) and a 1977 911S Targa (213k mi, reliable, needs a paint job). My apartment has a single garage where I could fit my tools, but they're back east with family as is the 911. The 911 has no A/C, but it doesn't get that hot where I moved that often.

The Targa is great, but the wind noise with the top installed isn't ideal. I recently made an adjustment that improved it a lot, but I can't help dreaming of a coupe with a sunroof for the body lines, the look. There's a red over tan with a whale tail haunting my childhood dreams.

Do I sell my Targa and my Giulia and buy a coupe with nice paint, with A/C?

Or, I could sell the Giulia, live without a car for a year, and put the money toward a paint job and A/C? Or, I could sell the Giulia, move the 911 and my tools out here, and just reserve it for Sunday drives. It's fabulous when it's great, but the poly-bronze bushings don't love potholes and the city is FULL of potholes.

Or, or, I could sell the Porsche, sell the Giulia, and put the money to work in the stock market, save for a house someday sooner than it would otherwise be possible.

I seek wisdom; any and all advice is welcome!
