Really interesting responses!

As far as insurance, he is definitely covered. We use USAA and a former Au Pair (who was A LOT less responsible and immature) had an accident in my Pilot. Insurance Company had no issue as long as we had loaned her the car. I have also confirmed with them on this over the years.

Well - he's on his way already - so I hope this is not an "I told you so" story. I am really leaning towards the trusting bunch of you - who say if you can trust him with your kids, you can certainly trust him with your car. He does a great job shifting - so no worries on the 915.

It's really interesting how this old 911 elicits such emotion from me! I was imagining if I would have the same issue with a newer sports car - and don't really think I would. Partly due to its age - as I expect it to be less reliable than a 2008 RX8 or such - trying to figure out the rest of the emotion.

Thanks again for the feedback... will post with the outcome!
