Clearly you're not happy.
Dreaming the dream and owning the dream aren't always the same thing.
Think seriously about cutting your losses.
As others have mentioned, owning a Porsche is EXPENSIVE in the long run (and the short run in your case).
Plan on at least $1200/yr. in ownership costs and save for it. Some years it will be less than $1200, others will be more. Tires alone are an every 2-3 yr. expenditure for a 'driven' car and this will run you between $650 and $1400 (all-in - alignment, balancing, mounting, etc.)
Driving a car held together on the cheap will not be a satisfying experience. And these cars have yet to bottom out on the depreciation scale, meaning you're likely to put more into it than it's worth and won't recover the costs when it's sold. That's OK if you LOVE the car, but there's still no fiscal sense to it.
So, if you don't love it that much, wash/wax it and take 50 pics of you next to the car for your photo album showing the Porsche you once owned and sell it. Then get something that's more in tune with your cost expectations and your wallet.
In the end, you'll be much happier.
Cheers!
