All,

Confirmation bias aside, thanks for the confirmation that I'm not nuts.

I've enjoyed the air cooled cars I have immensely but it is all but impossible to daily drive a 930 or 993 turbo without worrying about reliability, getting hit by a 7000lb SUV and remaining somewhat comfortable. Doing this year round in snowy Boston is a non starter. I'm not rich or stupid enough to try this with a my non galvanized 75 S that is pristine and all original. What I've got are weekend fair weather cruisers and with kids and a busy life, the good weather/nice roads/free time stars seldom seem to align.


Hence the question about something modern, safe and effectively disposable if damaged. There are no shortage of 997s should one die an untimely death.

I'll start the search today. < 40k would be ideal for a 06+ coupe. Manual or maybe a pdk (which admittedly I've never driven) and some cash in reserve for maintenance and a set of snow tires. I'm all ears if you are selling.

Hopefully I can sneak into a 09.

Welcome any additional comments.
