Climate controlled garage? I will keep the thing in my living room and change her oil while you are gone... free of charge!

Seriously though, I would say keep it. My brother in law once sold his car because he was leaving for about a year, and then went nuts from regret and ended up buying it back from the guy for more $ later. I always say keep it... but then again, I have 4 cars now. Dangit, I need a bigger garage!

Also, I lived aboard a 60 foot garden design ketch for about 14 years, but have still always drooled over the Hans Christians 41s

Ben,

I agree, keep the 911. Yes, you can always sell later. It will be very difficult to buy it back without some significant premium.

Store it in Colorado. The thin air and lack of humidity is a big deal. Do all the posted preservation things.

Above all, have fun. Life is too short.

Best,
Grady

Thanks for all the encouragement for keeping the car. I believe this is what I will do.
Oh, Mikez, you crack me up man. Actually, I HATE NASTY CAR! But for the record, they have 93 octane at the pumps in NC and the only corn in gas is in the form of "fine sippin' likker". There are some guys in those mountains that make liquor better than any commerical outfit but you have to know who they are; otherwise you may get something that is better suited for paint stripper.

Mike Z,

There is one good thing about the NASCAR guys here in Hickory, we can get 100 Octane at the pump. The cheap stuff is 93 Octane.
