Hmm, maybe we're ignoring the elephant in the room, and this is all about p-car withdrawal! I say that somewhat in jest, but there *is* that element.
What I did was buy a $1700 944 to use as a winter car. Now it's become a series of small winter projects. There's nothing like lying on your back in a -5C garage trying to first find the f*&king starter then trying to remove said f*&king starter, only to find out the damn f(*king starter is dead. Or partially dead. I did learn that beer tastes really good when it's just above freezing. Still, it's nice to drop the hammer on the highway on-ramp in the middle of January and at least get some thrills and not worry about driving a really pristine car into the ground. I just have to park on a hill...
