IMHO a 911 will appreciate in value - so as you said compared to your 401K it could make a lot of sense to go that route.

Nothing against other Porsche models but that air-cooled six is something VERY special.

And don't beat yourself up about selling your "S" - you should have seen the European delivery '73 911T (2.4 with factory carbs) in very original condition I sold a couple years ago...like you said.....BIG DUMB MISTAKE!

Anyway David - go for it - I wish you all the best in whatever you decide!
