I never stopped worrying. That's the rub. As the car became "worth money" to some, I worried even more. Then it became a special occasion only driver, never out of my sight or the sight of trusted people...then it became less and less fun.
So, I passed the worry on to a younger guy who could handle the stress. He seems to love the car (almost) as much as I did.
As far as the "it's just a car and can be replaced" set is concerned...I agree, but only to an extent. I challenge you guys...anywhere in the world, find another never dinged, never repainted, 55,000 actual miles '72 911S coupe at any price. Far as I know, there is only one out there, and it's currently in Istanbul...
You can always restore a car...it's original only once.
These days, an old Dodge pickemup or a Ford Ranger gets me where I want to go.
I can park either and walk away without worry. Priorities change.
