Technology changes; if you don't like what you see, wait about 5 min.; it will be completely different.............
Not to change course from the original topic too far, but on your 993 comment I wanted to ask a question;

I will admit I've drank the air cooled Kool Aid and am still in the Honey Moon phase having only switch less than two years ago. Since switching I spend my online P-Car website surfing primarily on the air cooled boards and sometimes roll my eyes at the amount of self stroking that goes on (like every model / series specific sub forum), BUT, My Question:

Why do so many guys go from air cooled cars to 996 / 997 and then sell them to get back into a 993 or 964? I don't spend much time on these forums compared to many yet I've frequently witnessed guys posting something along those lines, it frankly surprises me.
