Good choice on the car Latinbob ! One day I'll get my 911 Turbo - but I'm holding off until a) the kids are older and don't need a ride, and b) I have more hair on my chest than on my head . Seriously - I love that car.

Please report back when you get it and let us know how it is.

Seems like we all have a car that we used to have that we wished we kept! I had a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo that was originally bought for racing (I was the 2nd or 3rd owner). It had no sunroof, and it had an aftermarket performance chip (160 MPH +). Very fast and very cool. And it got 30 MPG too. I traded it in when I bought my New Beetle in 1998... dumb move, cause I got nothing for it. Maintenance was a killer though. Still miss that car!
