Can never leave her!
Sometimes I think about selling, but I am just too attached!
 Don't drive it as much as I should, but when I do,It's special! Do you all feel the same?

Who is that in the avatar?
I don't drive mine either and frequently think about selling. However, I'm interested in making custom parts and the only car I have to do this with is my own (of course). But, the bottom line is, no one is really buying right now, so you might as well get it out and go for a spin if you're paying for insurance like I am. |

I don't drive my '73 often enough, either.
Every time I do, I think I should more often. |

I'm chomping at the bit to drive mine again.. it's been almost a month. Weather is pretty sucky right now though and this weekend isn't looking great weather or time wise. Maybe the following weekend.
Believe it or not, I have driven my cabriolet once a month throughout the winter and always with the top down! Yes, I am crazy.

Same here. I am even financially pressed to sell her. Could really use the money. But I won´t.
Nice color! What year is that?

That is just about the most awesome yellow I have seen on a 911.
 Is it factory? Looks like Ferrari Fly Yellow. Needless to say, I can see why you can't sell. Absolutely beautiful car.

Great looking 911, the color, Fuchs, colored headlamp rings, brings it all together.
Drive it, that's what Porsche intended for you to do with their cars. No sense saving it for someone else. I think you need to get the map out....

You pretty well summed it up. I've had mine for 20 years now. Hope I can drive it another 30! (By then I'll be 90.)

That's easy... Cell phone with camera... Wrist strap on cell phone...
Reach out and estimate were the lens is pointing and press the button. Great shot!

I'll bet that car draws a crowd even when surrounded by show cars. Sell it if you feel like punishing yourself.
