Scott - Ignore all other advice and get an 80s vintage air-cooled 911 :-) Let's face it, are you really gonna base your lifelong dream purchase on having good A/C ? Are you actually going to commute to work in LA traffic in this car? Based on your comments about limited miles per year, I dont think that should sway your decision. If you are willing to spend some serious time scouring the ads and the websites, you can find a nice air-cooled example that isnt going cost more than a new Ford Explorer. You won't regret it, they are classics for a reason, and fun to work on. Parts are plentiful, and the Pelican air-cooled forum is the single best resource available anywhere.
