It's been a month .. and much has happened.


1st off went thru my 3rd and final chemical treatment**** - not pretty and quite devastating emotionally reliving but .. gave me an insight into why the fear so very strong ..


I had been daily reviewing Porsche porn, every new add to cars.com, carguru, pca, autotrader as well as craigslist and was ready to travel out of state to look at a '98 guard's red with 96K miles (owned by a Porsche mechanic) when I noticed one for sale 1/2 mile from my old house near Sacramento that checked all the boxes ..

- heated power seats (dual)

- PSM

- bi-xenon

- 45K

- all records since new (2 owner - same Porsche dealer - 2nd sale as a 'certified')

Drove up 100 miles to look at it Friday and it was immaculate! (little signs of wear) ..

Walked away during negotiation as I had a back-up but they blinked and I drove her home that night, top down under the stars ...

I never imagined buying a car from a dealer but got 7 day 100% return/45 day complete repair warranty.****

all I can say is .. why did I wait so long!
