I sold my '89 with similar thoughts. Owned a few other less expensive toys, didn't enjoy them as much, ended up back in a Porsche (the '71).

Now I'm thinking about selling again because I'm having less interest in constantly fixing things but think I may just let it sit for a few weeks. I need to do plugs and a few other items, and I hate doing plugs on these damn cars, and wonder why I don't just buy something new with a warranty that I can drive thoughtlessly anywhere. I briefly owned an S2000. I did basic maintenance in it and paid less for the total CAR than I have into maintenance and upgrades into the 911 and had nearly as much fun. I could also drive it without my head on a swivel and take it for a long distance drive without a second thought. I could even put a booster seat in and drive my 5 year-old around on the back roads. Of course, I sold it and kept the Porsche.

Anyway, such is life with old cars, especially expensive old cars, because once you stop enjoying the journey to "done," it's time to sell.
