Additionally, I tweak/customize and work on all my cars- this car looks and drives much better than the original. I routinely get lots of attention, compliments and thumbs ups at car shows - even from 911 owners , so in some respect, it has become partly a reflection of me. Always hard to give yourself away
I feel exactly the same way about mine. I have had it for five years and after a change in career and several moves up and down the east coast it has been the one constant in my life. I would have to say that I am emotionally attached to it. Now even trade for a 981, that's a no-brainer.
