And I DID buy my '72 911T for $1,750 in 2003. Of course, I also spent $40k restoring it. My first post wasn't untrue...just wasn't complete.

Then there are some truly amazing scores. I went to see a guy about a Carrera. When I got there it was idling in front of the house, waiting for me to check it out. I drove away in it 5 minutes later for a price that I won't bother repeating - nobody here would believe it I got a roadworthy, presentable, inspectable, registerable 3.2 Carrera for what I paid.

Aaaaand then there are just the kooks who want to live the dream
