I've made a horrible mistake

I've sold my 911 and the sun is shining.

Completely beside myself with nothing fun to drive.

Must fill that void in the car cave.

BTDT, regretted it.

Supercharged Miatas often swap hands for 7K or thereabouts. And then there are Boxsters...

I'm not surprised... The loss of that car.... Umm, big shoes to fill.

Moral of the story; don't sell the next one.

I wouldn't suggest someone go without a sports car just because they were on a budget. Of course, if you bought a 911 to make your dick bigger, a Miata won't help much for that...

My condolences.

IMHO, any one selling their air-cooled 911 currently, especially if it's their only air-cooled 911 - who does not need the money - is making a mistake.

Feeling very, very sheepish.

It's a great time to buy, tons of deals out there given the steady decline in 911 pricing.

I always seem to be behind on this stuff. Top cars still seem to be making top money.

What's the trend ?

I hear ha.

But I'd be forever comparing a new 911 against the one I sold. Thus starts a slippery slope of upgrades.

The MGA is cheap in comparison and parts are 1/10th the price of our 911's.
