No regrets at all. (Other than selling it)

I drove a 911 3 blocks once. Was an SC of some 80s vintage. I just remember the steering- it was so weird- like very unfiltered, and just interesting. Wish I could have driven it hard for awhile.
For those of you who don't recall, my Porsche experience was limited to the 951 I had for a few years. Which I still miss.
Whatever I get needs to be very reliable. I can do easy work in my garage if needed, but I sold my frankenstein E30 last month because I don't have time to wrench much beyond fluid changes for the next few years until my little ones are old enough to be self sufficient (that happens once they turn 3, right? RIGHT?) It's my understanding that the 996T is actually pretty solid. Other than that, I'd only be able to consider the 997.2, as the whole RMS/IMS thing is too much stress for me to think about (yeah yeah, 1% affected, guess who would most certainly become a member of that elite 1%?).
I saw a 997.2 S for sale at a dealer in Tampa that is supposedly certified (but it has over 50k miles so I have no idea how much warranty there could really be). It was within budget.
I dunno..... I want free rides
