Hi Motion,

Just like P-cars, women can have a very nice body, and a crapy engine that will suck up all your money and never work properly...this can be due to bad care form the previous owner, or poor design from the factory engineers...So, I assume that if you consider spending that money on your woman, you are a good mechanic, and have made sure that her engine will not let you down. That you will have really good rides with her, that she gets hot and screams to high rpms anytime you put the key in... To cost that amount of money, everything has to be perfect...would you spent 25K on a turbo look 911SC with 250K on the engine, a leaky tranny, trashed interior and grinding gearbox ? No insult to your fiancee of course, she may be a sweetheart, I don`t know her. But this is the point : her engine is her heart, so if you think she has a good heart, go for it. If you don`t, save your money and get rid of her NOW, or it will cost you much much more later on.
And also to put things in perspective, I drive a 78SC, have no girl friend, and if I had your kind of problems, that would mean I have no problems. Always put things in perspective, and remember that a materiel quest will never end and never let you satisfied : there will always be a neighbor whose wife has a 3 carats ring at her finger, or who owns a 2002 911GT2. The real wealth is how you feel inside, not how you look outside. And same thing goes for her.
Good luck !
