My thanks to everyone for their input. Unless there's a male Kardashian sibling that I'm unaware of - who's willing to pay-out some cash, it seems unlikely that I would ever find the right buyer anyway. So I guess I'll probably hold onto the Dangermobile. Anyone close by who wants to borrow it for awhile ?

I'm about 6 hours away... that's still "close by", right?

Granville? Tolland? or further north? My folks live in south Berkshire County. I would gladly babysit the Dangermobile if I still lived back east. Perhaps my mom would be interested. She's the 80+ y.o. lady tooling around the Berkshires in a yellow TT. She would just love the Boxster!!

Midlife crisis huh JD hang on thigh mate, it comes back in a flash no worries

If you need to get rid of it at some other stage, pass it on to family member only is my best advice. EDIT: or to a very good friend

I wanted to sell my 986 not long ago and the rage of people who came to see it made me sick just to think of seeing it go. Had it all.... from punk looking teens to Porsche chicks just-wanna-showoff. 90% didn't know crap about neither Porsche or car in general.

When someone will tell you, "okay I take it, what's next" your face is going to drop and your heartbeat will triple. If I couldn't let go my junk red bucket, there is no way YOU will be able to let go yours just try, you'll see

I think you should treat the Dangermobile like so many of the other snowbirds we get down here in Florida. Take a quick drive to my house. Hang out for the weekend, fly back north and I will garage it at my house for the winter months. Free of charge. I will make sure to drive her semi-regularly so that everything stays lubricated. Then when you are ready for your summer months of driving, fly back down and I will surrender the keys to you.

Er, Fawl Wiva

Just for the record, my wife made me the same ultimatum bud. I chose to just paint the damn house, not sell the car!!
