In terms of photos, I can supply them happily =D
The more I think on this (I know, the entire last half hour, right?), the more the decision becomes financial vs. emotional. Financially, I know it doesn't make sense to keep the car, but cars are rarely investment pieces anyway. I
want this car and do love this car. The emotional detachment comes from when things go wrong, the overwhelming desire to kick it until I break a toe- again, this could happen with any car. My biggest consideration is the long term- I'm sure someday it will appreciate and all this and that. My concern is if I do take the dive and dump time, money, countless hours of emotional frustration into this car, will the end result be something I will be content and in love with? Or will I find myself wishing I'd started with a newer Carrera or further still just gotten something else entirely? These are answers I'm sure I'll have to find for myself over time, and trying to make the decision now seems difficult.
Porsche-Monkey: I'm going to have to politely disagree with the 'wrong car for me statement', I think buying this last car last year was probably not the best though out or financially reposnsible decision to ever make, but the last year and a half I've owned the car has easily been the funnest, most challenging/frustrating year ever. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about cars to changing my own oil, valve adjusting, on the brink of possibly doing my own rebuild, and given the take on the automotive world attitude which I know truly will stick around for the rest of my life. And on top of that, the awesome people I've gotten to meet through the local autocross community and this online community as well, I am very grateful for all of these experiences.
But on to pictures!
