Maybe I'm picking nits, but I don't agree with your last point--that the car isn't fun anymore. Whenever I get into my 964, I have a smile on my face. Whenever I'm in the 930, I have, well, an even bigger smile on my face. These cars are as much fun now, as when I first got into one 17 years ago. I love going on a blast through an empty Mulholland. I love going on one of the TRE runs through the canyons. I love road-tripping up the coast to Monterey with family.
But yeah, the crowd has changed a bit. And that has made it a little less fun. When's the last time anyone ever asked over on the technical forum how much maintenance is on a turbo vs a normally-aspirated car? It's a slightly different crowd that's into even air-cooled Porsches today.
But I didn't get the car for that. I got the car for the driving.
