...You feel a sense of loss to know that there is one less on the planet when you see something like this.

When you spend money well beyond a sensible economic rationale, which means you've put money in well beyond the cars value. But that isn't the key issue, it is always about having the 928 running like it should. As intended by the factory.

^Yeah.

You also feel a "Sense of satisfaction*" that although the car is toast, it did it's job in the crash and protected the occupants.

*"satisfaction" isn't the right word, but I can't think of it right now.

You read literally thousands of postings here, almost exclusively about serious or annoying problems. Yet you still take advantage of a "deal" on a ten-year-stored car that "ran when it was parked". Then make your first investment for it in "upgraded" wheels and tires.

you buy a 928 "parts car" and quickly decide that it was "too nice to part out".... then start searching for another "parts car"......

you get the picture!

When, like me, you don't drive the 928 in the rain ( like it could get a cold or something...) and every morning you look out the window and if it's raining you feel your day it's not going to be the same....

And the converse is true on those crisp New England days when the sun shines and you start the engine...
