944 as a DD, am I crazy?

I haven't really posted a thread on it, but my 1992 911 Turbo was delivered to its new owner a few weeks ago. It now resides in the Indy area.... After the divorce and renting a house for a year, it was time to buy and the air cooled turbos seem to be at a recent high and mortgage rates are pretty low....

With that said, my commute is 62 miles of smooth highway driving each way, with some stop and go but not a lot, it takes me 20 minutes to get across town which is 8 miles and then 40 minutes on the interstate. I don't do it every day as a lot of the time I am driving to the airport which is about the same distance.

We do have bad weather some, but I have my F350 for that (which is currently serving as my DD).

I have thought about an older wagon (Mercedes E320, Volvo V70 both the R and non R, but I don't want to spend more than $8K or so....

I'm thinking a well taken care of with receipts and up to date service history 944 would be a fun little car to drive to the airport and around town for quick errands and not set me back over my budget.

I am not scared of DIY'ing.

Do I need to get slapped?

Thanks!
