Next Car Move

I'm playing with some ideas on what to do for my next car. Here's what I've been thinking:

1) Sell 951, buy a 2000-2002 Boxster S.

Boxster S prices have been falling and I think 951 prices have been holding steady. It might be possible to move over into one for just 50% more than what I can sell my 951 for.

2) Sell 951, buy a base model 944, turn it into a dedicated race car.

I've always wanted to do a hardcore project like this. I could sell my 951 for 3 times what a decent, running 944 goes for. I could even buy one with a blown engine for around $500. I'd be flush with cash to start this project.

3) Sell 951, buy a 928.

Always liked the "ultimate" water-pumper. I think one I'd actually want (non-dog-leg five speed) is a little out of my price range. Maintenance costs are similar to a 951, so that doesn't scare me.

4) Keep 951, strip it down to the bare essentials.

I've already pulled the AC and sunroof motor...why not go all the way? It has a 14-speaker stereo that I never listen to...

5) Keep 951, don't change anything.

Yawn...that's boring.
