Welcome to the club! We are all completely addicted. You might as well go ahead and sell any other cars that you might own because you will never go back to driving them again. They will be abandoned and forgotten.
And please don't take it to the track. Trust me, that path is paved with nothing but excitement, exhilarance, and ecstasy.

Need help?
Leave it at my place if you can't resist the temptation. Don't worry, I can come pick it up.

03S, 60K miles and the IMS was done? Mind sharing the asking price by seller?
No need to divulge the price paid, I'll assume you negotiated.
Do you know how many miles ago the IMS was done?

IMS and RMS done at 45k as as well as having complete service history(only other biggie was axle assemblies.....previous owner drove it too long with cracked CV boots...so axles are brand new)
he was asking 17...but yes, much negotiating...didn't pay close to that. There are alot of 986s for sale...buyers market maybe?!

That path is also paved with significant unexplainable cash output, absences at family events, and the eventual purchase of a trailer.

I just got back from a 1-day 600 mile trip to Salt Lake City and back, and I got 28.5 mpg going and 27.5 mpg returning. I drove above 75 MPH the whole way and used cruise control a lot. 2003 S.
