I want to be able to experience owning and driving a 3.2, and a cheap but serviceable and well kept cab really seems like the only financially viable option. I think I'll have a blast with it.

One thing about my friend's car is that it's a rare colour but I would really choose something else if I could. I don't hate it, though.

Absent an obviously better option in the $30k-$40k range that runs and drives well, it's hard to imagine there's a better way for me to get into a 911 than this one for ~$30k. This is assuming that the comp/leakdown doesn't indicate an immediate rebuild is needed.
I was a "cab guy" too until I realized that the original air conditioning was woefully inadequate at best from reading posts in the tech section. I drove the car with the top down. If conditions weren't optimal for top down driving, I didn't really drive the car. IMO a Targa is middle ground. It's a car that you can still track and have some fun with. If I had it to do again, and I might, I'd go Targa all day over a Cab.
