get a 987

All of the usual problems are gone with the 987 rebuild - '05 & on. I've got 40,000 miles and, besides maintenance, have only replaced tires & a clutch.

Having had a Vet you will probably want an S.

Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money.

Wow, that's not true. The mechanical issues that plague the 986 are mostly still present in the 987.1.

Man, you guys sure make me feel like a dweeb for buying the base model instead of the S. I was perfectly happy with the car up until now. No, wait, I'm still happy.
