I have seen this 356, it is extremely nice. I agree with the owner that living up here in the Northwest presents unique problems with owning a car like this. I don't blame him for considering the 993. The 993 would be drivable whenever, wherever he wants. I had an early car before I bought my'84, which I never drove, because I didn't want to drive it in the rain. You can imagine how much I drove the car for 9 out of 12 months a year. I hated leaving the car in the garage and never driving it. If he wants a car he can drive, I would say go for the 993. If he wants a show car that he can take pictures of and send them to others, then keep the 356. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a 356 of this caliber, but realistically, I would rather have a car I can drive on a regular basis. This car would be great in California.
