Sorry to hear about your engine troubles. That just plain sucks.
I was laid off from work back in '12. In March of that year we'd just bought a new commuter car (used) for me to use to go to work. By the end of the year I didn't need it. My wife said we had a choice to make, or rather I had a choice to make. Keep the 911 and sell the Honda or vice versa. I looked hard at how I wanted to use whichever car I kept. Gas 'n go cross country trips were high on my priority list. Doing that in a car with a warranty would be a lot less stressful. I sold the 911 and paid off the Honda. So far, so good. Three years later I was able to go back to Missouri for a good friends second wedding. Good times with a guy I've known for more than 60 yrs.
Today I'm thinking about selling the Honda, just to get something that is easier to get in/out of and that my wife will actually ride in with me. Yesterday was the first time she's ridden in it in years, literally. It does ride a tad 'rough' but still gives me 27 mpg on road trips.
Do I miss the 911?
A tad, only because it'd be worth so damn much money now IF I'd left it stock. It was a special order car and uniquely equipped. How many Sportomatic SC's have you ever seen?
