Same. I'm not ancient but in my 50s and my automotive perspective has shifted in terms of the time and energy I'll put into a machine vs. reward. I still have a few weird cars that I enjoy working on when time allows but my next sports car will be a 997 Carrera S coupe w manual trans. I just want to drive it and pay the insurance, basically.
I owned a 964 briefly last year but it needed significant $$ and time invested to be tight so I made the decision to cut it loose. No regrets. I'd rather have a 997, 8 ways from Sunday. The dollars/fun ratio of most air-cooled 911s has gone pear-shaped, unless you've owned it for a long time.
Sorry for the hijack. A rubber bumpered MGB would be a car I would not enjoy driving. It falls into the category of vehicles that you only drive if the woman who owns it is really hot and wants you to drive. Like an old Camry that needs an alignment.
