Cliche, long-time dream of owning a 911, blah, blah, blah.

I am a one-car guy--don't have the money or space for a practical daily driver AND a toy. Since year 2000, I've owned a 95 Miata, a 2000 BMW Z3 2.3, a 99 Miata, a 98 Z3 2.8 and now a 97 Z3 1.9. I've had a blast with each in its own way. All have been reliable and affordable in terms of upkeep. But, I crave a Porsche and doubt I'll eve get over it unless I own one.

Just found a 1975 911 with "all original parts, original engine, original tires" that needs upholstery and "minor" cosmetic paint and was garaged "for a long time." I haven't SEEN the car--this is just a listing a found this morning, after having an amazingly vivid dream last night in which I found a "beater" 911 that I loved. I really don't care so much about looks, as long as the car is mechanically sound.

I love sports cars, I am an enthusiast but...can a guy who has comfortably afforded his Miatas and Z3's handle a 911 financially? I KNOW I'll love the car...as long as it's not bleeding me dry at the mechanic.
