I got my 911 about 10 years ago.
The first 5 years, I did some basic maintenance DIY, joined a few PCA treks, went to some car shows like C&C in CT,
befriended some local 911 guys, and did a few DE events each summer.
911 was a positive addition to my life that I am grateful for.

Over the next few years, around 2014-2018, air cooled cars became more popular.
Was there change in the air?
Magnus got some attention.
Younger buyers entered the game.
Youtube car channels jumped on the train.
Veterans lamented diaper polishers, focus on originality, BAT auctions with high prices.
Repairs supposedly got more costly.

In the last 5 years, I haven't done much with my 911.
Don't drive it as much, no DE or car shows.
Not really active on Pelican.
911 has not been a big factor in my life.

I've been out of the loop, and am curious, what has the culture been like since around 2018?
What technical and maintenance trends have you noticed?
What is the repair and maintenance scene like?

Off topic related changes? Cultural changes? Demographics?
Are air cooled still as desired as they were in 2014-2018?
Water cooled car got more respect in the last 10 years, for sure.
Is DE more or less popular than it was 5 years ago?
What is the marketplace like? Were prices still rising from 2018 to March 2020?

Any changes you've noticed since around 2018?
