It doesn't need many special tools (and I've already got those). No proprietary software. And there are plenty of people with real knowledge willing to offer advice....

I emphatically agree.


Also, since my 911 is an '87 and I am only the second owner, is it really "old"? It is certainly not "old" in the way a '60s muscle car is, and of course it is MUCH better built and much better taken care of.

There are many newer high-performance cars I wouldn't having, but working on a 2013 C63 AMG convinced me that it is just plain not as enjoyable as my 911.
