To clarify my "worst enemy" statement is that these are not cars to be owned as one might a Honda civic. They can be demanding of the owners and can be a nightmare for the "wrong" owner. We all know the difficulties of buying/selling/owning a 911. They're not for everybody. My statement should have been worded better.
I feel like I am in the right forum. I have a 23 year history as a Porsche Tech and can really tell you some nightmare stories. But, a 911 is a dear friend to most good owners, however, if you want to make a real enemy - a 944 turbo can cost lives.

There is a good lesson here: "DONT GET MARRIED"!! LOL.
Marriage is a business deal, would you place 50% of you net worth into a business that has a failure rate of a bit over 50%? No of course you would not.....well then...why get married as it has the same odds and devistating loss of $$$$.

So it's better to get more hands on experience with breast implants by investing in a business deal than through marriage because you stand a 50% devistating loss of income. ***** don't kill people, People kill cars. See? I new a Rennlist edumacation was worth the money......

Tiger probably agrees with you %100 right now. In terms of the implants the way it would work is the spouse gets credited for 1/2 the cost...or she ends up with half a boob I guess.

PCA will give you a value estimate
About 5 years ago my 70 Targa was rear ended by a school bus, I wrote to PCA and they sent me a letter with an estimated value that I used to convince the insurance company it had been worth 15K vice the 6k they wanted to give me. In my case I wanted as high a number as possible. I believe there is a form you fill out with lots of details and they base it on that. Believe you can do the form online at the Porsche Club of American web page. Would emphasize all the negatives of course.

As far as the 911 being a dear friend, any high strung thing has its points to note, be it a horse, car, motorcycle, airplane, or women. Women usually inflict the most damage. A quick death may appear kinder than a woman on a rampage (especially a smart one).
If you like excitement there is a price. Unfortunately, the research sometimes falls short.
