Well, I have always loved to have a 911, I was stationed in Germany in the early 80's, and while there I test drove them, and try to buy but unfortunately couldn't get one at that time. Went back again for second tour from 87 to 90 and yet again, couldn't get one. I guess it wasn't for me, plus my wife and I were both in the Army, and also joggling 3 kids which wasn't easy. In 2002 we had a family crisis, which basically put my dream of owning one in almost a permanent stop.
Fast-forward to 2005, finally I started to look for one, I had a pre approved check, but for some reason nothing was coming up within the price range. Finally almost at the end of check's period, I was able to locate my Targa at the Porsche dealership, just up the street from my work. It was a trade and it had 2 previous owners, that own the car for approx. 10 years each. Right now the car has 120k plus miles, and it still a going strong. I'm looking forward to drive it more often than I do now, as I'm getting ready to finally retire next year from civil service.
