Talking about phases we go through. Got bored with my SC, sold it and bought a new road bike (endurance bicycle which looks like a racing bike). Prior to buying my 911S, I was a hard core endurance road biker, super fit and skinny. Then I really got into Porsche ownership, and started fixing, modifying (2.7 RS spec motor with MFI) and generally improving it. Consumed tons of time which I enjoyed while the bike gathered dust and I gained 15lbs. Now I ride just about daily, with a few rest days to recover, have lost the 15lbs, and enjoy getting stronger while increasing my distance and average speed. So rather than improving the car, I am more into improving the self. As a bonus, I can now eat more since I am burning so many calories. And I love to eat.
Of course I know, I am a unicorn in present company except for a handful of other roadies. So it’s back to my prior phase which gave me a great deal of satisfaction.
