I could never get rid of my Porsche now

I have no intention of ever selling my 986. It is worth more to me than the $9-12k I could get for it, and I think the 986 specifically will become more of a classic with time. The 550 throwback design is timeless in my opinion. Plus, I love driving the damn thing.

I plan to promote my 986 to Garage Queen status before/around 100k miles.

My 2001 986 ousted my 2010 G-37 the first day I brought it home.
The Boxster has lived in the garage ever since.

NOOOOO don't make it a garage queen. It needs to be driven regularly.
My belief is that there are more problems with garage queens than higher mileage cars that are driven

I appreciate the concern and I agree! P-car's needs to be revved up and driven!

But I am planning to get a new daily driver in the next year or two, and keep the 986 for weekends and autocross.

I was on a sailboat for seven days and I missed my car(s).
I had a 2006 BMW 325 6sp/sport package and I missed my Porsche. I needed AWD for winter, so I found a 1999 Carrera 4 to be my new DD! My world is complete.
