No, seriously, glad to hear you're keeping it.

reality check!!!

asking a board hopelessly dedicated to the 968 "should i keep it?"

wtf... of freaking course EVERYONE is going to applaud "keep it dude."

politics aside (no sense going down that road), we are literally witnessing "the end."

prices are going in one direction: down.

I "like" things. Meaning I do not "love," nor do I derive true-pleasure from anything man-made.

but "like" can be a strong passion at moments; and Porsches are easy to "like."

personally I change Porsches as easily as a shirt. there are a few I miss, but those feelings are fleeting at best.

so, here's another opinion:

*it's still summer and drivers have yet to hang up their keys for the winter.

*Many 968ers will line up to buy your Speed Yellow Cab.

*So sell the f*cker and indulge something else that you "like;" and someday soon, another man-made-bobble will catch your fancy and attention for a short while.

also, you could sell your SY Cab with the condition that when the new owner tires of it, you have "first right of refusal."

With that, there are several Porsches that I've owned several times through this condition.

unless it's going overseas.... it's not really "gone."

life is short; and variety is the spice of life.

at the end of the day, it's just "stuff" to take care of.

2 cents,
Porsche

+1 with Dan "'twas the right thing to do"

Yesterday my wife and I went to lunch with another couple. The 968 looked perfect in their driveway (estate type place), felt like it coulda been a picture in Esquire or GQ. You know, as you walk away from the car, you glance back and take a look. Then downtown I got a parking spot right in front of the restaurant, and 2 guys came up. "Wow, is that a Porsche, I love them, that one looks really special, my neighbor.... my father..., etc" (all the stories), "must have cost you a bundle". "No, not too bad, I found a good one, not bad for a 17 year old car." "What -- no way, you better check the registration, you probably don't know what year your car is".

[flash]

since love is nothing more than a chemical reaction to certain stimuli, i have to disagree that you cannot love a car, or at least what that car does for you in generation of those chemical reactions - the endorphins generated can absolutely be identical - there are a great number of people who actually have stronger reactions to things and activities than to any other person in their life - people who are enormously successful in business generally fall into this category

that being said, i took a very even handed approach in my recommendation, which was to step back and think about it, and then decide, based more on fact than emotion

he may yet decide to sell it, but at least taking the time to really evaluate the feelings around the car, and the place in his life for it will facilitate the best decision possible

The house ain't going anywhere, and the garage will clean up nice when it's 35 and on the brink of snow.

Go drive the car...
