lol, one thing I can be proud of is not giving a damn about what others think! If people were forced to publish their balance sheets rather than show off their homes, cars, boats, etc...I bet there would be a lot less consumption in our society.

I was actually looking at longhoods for a while (I was especially attracted to getting a 73.5 CIS). Prices have gone stratospheric on longhoods and I don't know if chasing makes sense for me.

Its just to easy to drive, don't feel involved. I'll take a well sorted older 911 hands down over something newer. More involved in the driving experience, and the anticipation of completing a journey with no major breakdowns coupled with constantly checking for leaks, "weird" noises, and smells can't be beat!

I agree, my 997 was a huge disappointment and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. Might as well have bought an M5 - same general experience but with a big boot and rear seats.
