Second the comments about P.O. care and maintenance. Even so, properly 'fixed up' there's no reason any decent teener can't be a reliable driver. (Knock on wood) mine's gotten me around daily for 7 months now with only one glitch [ignition switch], which was easily fixed in <2 hours and <$100. The car had not really been 'neglected' by the P.O. but more like unused/ignored. So quite a few things were rotted, old, cracked, out-of-tune etc. The huge majority of the $$ I've put into it is restoration/enhancement, not repair. That said I don't think it's prudent to have a teener or any 20-30 year old car as one's only car though...like most folks, sometimes I really really need to get places, i.e. work, and/or haul stuff or passengers around. I think MikeZ and I have the right system -- *at least* 2 Porsches at all times, plus a truck/SUV for hauling, family road trip, and foul weather duty.
