I've owned at least two dozen classics over the last 35 years and none of them have made me as happy as the 911. There is simply no driving experience I've had that even comes close. No engine noise either.

For me, new cars bore me to tears. I could pick up a newer watercooled Porsche but I feel like the experience is muted and muffled. Nothing connects you to the driving experience in the same way as a classic 911.

I can understand the frustration - my stupid windshield is leaking and now I need to pull the fuel sender to clean it as the gauge is bouncing. It never ends. But it's easy to look past the problems and just enjoy it for what it is. Expecting new car behaviour from a 45-year-old one is just a recipe for frustration.

My opinion, keep it. I think you'll miss it.
