Geeeeeeezus. Which is it? In one post you state that "now that I can afford an exotic, I dont want one" and now you complain about the $200 bucks for a track day? and the travel time to and from? I gather that you are "retired." So what is the premium on your valuable time??? And what the heck is a thousand dollars every month or so for a track day?
You dont want to "sully" an old 911s with track time or road grime... What DO you want to do, besides complain about the seemingly many options available to you???
Its a stupid car. Nothing more. Just like any Ferrari, no matter what the purchase price. I t s a s t u p i d c a r. Put on earth to be consumed by man. Consumed. Used up. Spit out. Enjoyed. I have had 5 Porsches including a 911 right now. And I have put thousands and thousands of miles on late model Ferraris. Newsflash! Any Ferrari made after 1999 is at least as reliable as any of your precious early 911's. And a heck of alot more comfortable.
I'm glad that all of the Porsche club guys in Southern "mexifornia" arent as closed minded as you are. Two years ago, the weekend of the Laguna Seca Historics, the SoCal Porsche Owners Club guys let me join them for a thursday speed run from LA, up to the Porsche Store in Santa Barbara, enroute to Monterey. Did these guys care that I showed up in a red 360 spyder? They could have cared less. Every one of us ran the snot out of those cars, all the way up Highway 1. I would venture to say that somebody reading this will attest to the good time had by all.
And then you complain about government infringement upon your life (hefty speeding fines) and yet you choose to live in Oregon, The Leftist Bastion of the western United States???
I dont know why, but it really burns my balls to see you so gleeful because of a hood latch problem on a brand new car that could potentially result in death, injury or at the very least, great expense and/or inconvenience.
And one more thing, Ferrari Cars of North America will make right on that hood latch situation. Not that you care about service AFTER the sale. ( in my opinion, PORSCHE service centers suck)
