You guys are a bunch of wusses. Unless you make $30k a year a 930 or an early car are not worth that much. I know plenty of blue collar guys driving $70k diesel trucks. Doesn't seem to phase them a bit. Of course generally this board is full of financially conservative mid-aged guys, so you probably aren't huge risk takers on your cars either.
My 993 was expensive to me when I bought it and my income level has increased at about the same level as the value of the car. This makes it easy. I still drive it whenever I want. I still park it in the street and overnight. The only point I hesitate a bit more is track driving. I may only go 7/10 now instead of 9/10.
The track is the only place you'll lose the car unless you have track insurance.
