I concur. Based on some past posts, I would hazard a guess that JD is considering a Ferrari purchase.

But then again, there's still that two miles of gravel road to contend with...........

Just sayin'.............

I agree. The absolute truth is that JD has achieved the perfect clean factory look, and now he is bored.

Good to know I've got a firm handle on things eh JD? :cheers:

At the present market value it's at the possible position, upgrades have been completed, low mileage has elminated the major maintenance budgeting, no further plunking down of cash is need to pay it off or to get into something newer (not necesarrily better on 'dollar basis') and its still the car that sets the bar in its class. Personally I'd hold onto it until the 981S has fallen substantially.
Or if you want a car that's going to sit in your garage on any day but a sunny one, then I'd jump on a 964 , RS if you can swing it. The rarer the car the better it will do as its sits. The Porsches that came after are not quiet as sharp/tight like a 3.2 on PSS9's, and the cars that came before are antiques, which is fine but I'd rather be in at least the modern category.

JD - I sympathise with you.....

Many years ago when I was working in South Africa, I lived on a dirt road - about a mile from the tar. At the time I was (apart from my company car) running my pride and joy, a rather nice Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV and a Velocette MSS classic motorcycle. When we bought the house, the road really didn't register with me regarding the downside of driving the Alfa and Velo on dirt.....

But it wasn't long before reality struck - driving a classic car or bike on a dirt road is the pits - add in holes that can swallow your suspension in one go, gravel that ruins your paintwork / windscreen and the local 4WD idiots who are determined to overtake you no matter what.......
In the end, I really didn't want to take the car and bike out of the garage. It was just too much hassle and the driving pleasure was outweighed by the problems described....

So I can relate to your conundrum, tho' I don't have an answer.....

If you do decide to sell, two questions:

1) Are you pricing this with Chaz Bono's face planted on the hood?
2) Without the Dangermobile, will you be changing your name to Johnny Insecurity?
