I eventually sold that car and how 10+ years later I'm back in a 986 ('03 3.2l), and I continue to love the experience!

Be sure to maintain a good rainy day fund because Porsche parts are never cheap (even if you can save on the labor via DYI). Also on that note, don't be shy about attempting some DYI maintenance and upgrading! Get the Pelican Parts DIY book for starters.

Happy Motoring!
Thanks Spyder Man. I enjoy wrenching on my own stuff. I have this innate feeling that other people won't treat my stuff as I would, so I do all my own work wherever possible. So I know it's done right! I've already picked up the Bentley manual since I'm doing the IMS service. The Pelican Parts 101 projects is next on my list.
