It could happen to you......

Huge bummer. Did you look into what part failed? I used to work at a car dealership that carried a lot of Porsche, Audi, & VW. My old shop foreman and I are still friends and he tried to talk me into a Miata instead. Time will tell if perhaps he was right. Another mechanic I used to work with had a 928 that blew up the motor. He put a small block chevy in it. Owning a exotic has it's price (and it's benefits too).
