Seems to have lost its 550 soul. So I'm happy with the older car and a bit of the little bastard image.

Agreed.
Something about a base model with a couple creature comforts just kinda fits the bill for me.
Mine is pretty old, and I think I'm the 4th owner.
I couldn't imagine getting rid of it though.
I love just looking at it in person or in pictures, and thinking, "Fvkc yeah, pretty sweet little chariot I got myself here."
The lines, the drop top, the simplicity, the heads it turns.
Like a modern day 550, though not as iconic, the 986's are definitely in the family.
