I'd rather have new or old not half a** modern. 2 cents lay on your hate haha

it will be quiet a long while before any 986 or 987 is considered 'retro'.

I still get people telling me that they think the car is only "five years old" or some other number nowhere near 14.
I really can't think of another Porsche that after 21 years still looks this current.
In other words the total opposite of 356,550,912/911 nostalgia.
When I added the 997 Turbo replica wheels and the PORSCHE door decals my neighbohr came out and asked if I "traded in the old car".
You've got to have a very timeless design to fool the average guy in such a way.
