I like my car, and so do my knees. It's still new to me and I'm still learning to master shifting it properly (I'm a bit ham-handed with it). I recently drove a 997 C2S with PDK; it was phenomenal, shifting was a breeze though I sometimes found myself wondering what to do with all seven gears. Unfortunately it has more power than I'd ever know what to do with outside of a track. I can't currently afford a new one and I fear it'd be cost-prohibitive to maintain a used one as I don't know how much of the work I could do myself vis-a-vis an aircooled 911. I imagine time will tell.
I know I'm in the minority so I usually stay mum on topic. My 911 is my hobby car, not my daily driver, so I don't drink anything in it.
