Wait, you folks sell your cars?

I have had my El Camino for 30 years and it is almost broken it after 375,000 miles.

I have had my 1985 Carrera for only 26 years. 182,000 miles so far. My wife shows me 911s for sale that are just a few years old. I just love my old 911, even when it has has little age related issues. Heck I have lots of age related issues as well.

I honestly see no reason to spend a lot of money getting a new or newer daily driver when the El Camino just runs perfect, and is cheap to repair. I saw a nice 997 the other day for sale, 80 grand just takes my breath away. I like owning a car that has tripled in value since I bought it. The only new 911s that go up in price are 911Rs or other unobtainable models that no one ever drives. I still am planning on driving my 911 to all contiguous 48 states, and Canada has already been done.
