Unhappy thinking about keeping the porsche...

I don't know what to do now...I just drove it around for the first time since I got my new car on thursday and it felt great...


The insurance is cheaper now that I got another car but I don't know...hmmm


Someone said I should keep the car, strip it out and sell as a track car. Do you think I could get more that way?


These things are never easy...

I'm always amazed at how much I enjoy driving my 944 after driving the Z around for a few days.

Driving the 944 after being out of the sattle for a while is always a pleasure. Even after driving my friend's dad's 911S and test driving an A4 1.8 5-speed.

Keep the 944 if you have room for it. It's no use selling it for a minimal sum of $.

Definately keep it.
Strip it, make it into a project car and just tear it to pieces... what could be more fun?
Since you've got the daily driver covered, you wouldn't have time constraints - and you could work as money came around (slowly?). That's like a dream for me.
I can just see it, all that !*&^ carpet out, seats gone, no AC... it could be a rockin good time!

Yes, just keep it. Please no more complete parting out of perfectly good 944's.

Or you could take everything out that could be replaced later with custom stuff and ebay it. Then as time, money and will allows put it back together even better than before.

I myself am looking into a interior swap with a boxter or 996.
