I saw a recent Magnus interview where he said that he though LA has the largest number of 911s in the world.....He is probably right about that....NYC, coastal California, maybe a few other spots around the country are ok but the rest of us are in bad shape.

The last time I saw air cooled 911s....more than just me, or the occasional 356.....at car shows was at least 12 years ago. I never see them on the road here, maybe once per year Ill drive by one.

If I was in LA or NYC area, I wouldnt think twice about owning a classic Porsche or any classic car since there is a strong service market

Bring it farther East. Japan has been depleted of classic 911s over time. My friend's shop B-Force in Kobe has no more costomers for these cars owners or maintenence. Just a clue there! OC CA especially Costa Mesa is US Porsche Central, alwalys has been, always will be. Miss being there, used to live there in college days. I will live and die (not in LA -- remember that movie?) in Japan. You couldn't drag me back to the US for a freakin car, even like my ol' 73 RS #101. Life is good and the memories are too. Leave it at that and live each day as may be your last. Don't worry, be happy! Cars are just tin bread boxes on wheels really. Make a quid off them if you can I always say.
