Porsche-less

Well, everything has been official for a few days now and I am officially Porsche-less.

My wife and I have been making some very positive changes in our lives over the last two years and I recently decided that I needed a break from owning a Porsche for a while, so my 914-6 was shipped out and delivered to its new owner this past week.

I know it is not going to be the popular consensus, but I am very happy with my decision. I call the changes we've made "life efficiency" and it is nearly complete. Life efficiency includes making our life as simple as possible, with a less-is-more concept. Besides buying a condo and selling our house, we now have only one car for my wife's daily commute and my main mode of transportation is a bicycle. We just don't need multiple cars for two people. I will use the commuter car when necessary, but I plan on commuting on the bike all year (yes, in the rain too).

I'm not leaving the Porsche community, just taking a break from all the work that goes along with owning a classic car. The locals haven't ostracized me yet, even after they saw the new daily driver car, which is a whole story in itself.

Here is the new daily driver car (which I absolutely love!):



and my daily commuter:
