I'm in one of those pictures, so I feel qualified to answer. I've also been beaten multiple times at different Autocrosses by you and this car, so again, I consider myself qualified.

Sometimes, mistresses call and we all must answer. Honestly, I think if one must go, you should sell the Targa. You've been talking about it for months and you've gotten a lot out of the car; maybe it's time to move on.

There are many more years and cars ahead in your future, I'm sure. I do think you'll miss the autocrosses, the trips, the Porsche Parades and the people, but if you work at it, you'll find there are great people throughout the car hobby in general.

I also predict there will be another Porsche in your future, but that doesn't mean there aren't some really great cars out there to try and to own meanwhile. Why not?

Go for it. You only live once.
