The sad part is--this could have happened to any M96 at any mileage (although I'm sure running oil that was too thin for extreme service likely hastened the initial bearing failure).
I occasionally think about buying a well-sorted '99 Carerra, but then I realize I'd be stuck with another M96 motor. So I'll hold off until I can afford a 981 Cayman S.
