Yea, I am afraid the idea of growing old with a hot lil 911 is a bit out of reach for someone without a substantial 5 figure bucket to play with.
I might get lucky and repair the head studs and have no further large issues to deal with. Then again, it might start smoking next year.
I can't drive the car the way it is meant to be drive for fear that a $20K hammer awaits any fun to be had.
With a car like an Elise I can drive the car to death, and for the price of a 915 rebuild (in my case) I can have an entire Honda engine and trans that are worlds better than what is in my Porsche.
Emotionally I want the Porsche, it is the car I have always wanted. Alas I just don't think I have the budget to keep it and enjoy it.
