But then again, there's still that two miles of gravel road to contend with...........

Just sayin'.............

A 458 Italia would make ANYONE forget about storage, 10 mile drives to get to it, etc.

Come to think of it, I bought my 993 two years ago from a guy who stored it 2 miles from his house in a garage, true dat................

I'm currently in negotiations with David Copperfield to see if he's willing to levitate the Dangermobile up and down my road on a regular basis.

Good to know I've got a firm handle on things eh JD?

If you sell it...........458 Italia. My youngest kid in front of one at our local Cars & Coffee................FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL..............Exhaust not was pure sex when it left.

That good looking young lad must take after his mother.

In other words you'll simply be throwing away more money on top of the unavoidable depreciation you already experienced with the S. At the present market value it's at the possible position, upgrades have been completed, low mileage has elminated the major maintenance budgeting, no further plunking down of cash is need to pay it off or to get into something newer (not necesarrily better on 'dollar basis') and its still the car that sets the bar in its class. Personally I'd hold onto it until the 981S has fallen substantially.
Or if you want a car that's going to sit in your garage on any day but a sunny one, then I'd jump on a 964 , RS if you can swing it. The rarer the car the better it will do as its sits. The Porsches that came after are not quiet as sharp/tight like a 3.2 on PSS9's, and the cars that came before are antiques, which is fine but I'd rather be in at least the modern category.

Excellent point !

When we bought the house, the road really didn't register with me regarding the downside of driving the Alfa and Velo on dirt.....

But it wasn't long before reality struck - driving a classic car or bike on a dirt road is the pits - add in holes that can swallow your suspension in one go, gravel that ruins your paintwork / windscreen and the local 4WD idiots who are determined to overtake you no matter what.......
In the end, I really didn't want to take the car and bike out of the garage. It was just too much hassle and the driving pleasure was outweighed by the problems described....

So I can relate to your conundrum, tho' I don't have an answer.....

Add 500 feet of elevation gain, routine washout, downed trees and branches and Bigfoot's
feces to all of that and you have my road.

If you do decide to sell, two questions:

1) Are you pricing this with Chaz Bono's face planted on the hood?
2) Without the Dangermobile, will you be changing your name to Johnny Insecurity?

I'm too insecure to give up Chaz. Without the Dangermobile I'll need his/her support.

Might I suggest a visit to your local Audi dealer? Maybe they come in yellow.

Oh man. I always joked hell would be full of sports cars and nothing but speed bumps. As a forum, we all need to take a weekend off and go pave a proper road for Mr. Danger.



A trailer would remedy the problem. I think it would be better taking 6 minutes to avoid the gravel hell than 40 minutes.

You sure your in the US and not the Amazon Jungle! When we still had our ranch in NM (many years ago) it was always an issue getting to the road and then into town so I feel your pain...

Cant you simply drive super slowly on the road? Can you post a picture of the road?

Take screen shot of the Appalachian trial and shrink it down to a 2 mile stretch.

Exactly .
The spoiler appears to be screwed to the lid at a funny angle .
And kinda takes away from the "boxster is a girls car" theme

In return I'll give you my exhaust system and a ham sandwich for the road.

Looks like one of the animatronic drones my organization sent out last week to monitor unusual characters and unusual activities.

Looks a bit like my backyard. Not kind to convertibles.
