Hey Brian, when I was driving through Indiana on my way back home Friday, I was thinking about the last 911 road trip that took me through your state and how much fun my wife and I had meeting up with you and the other guys.
Exactly Jim. I was thinking the same thing when you mentioned you drove the car from Chicago back to DC. The 964 will be a little more civilized to do road trips in compared with the Aubergine early 911. Sure did like that car though.
I heard from the seller that there was some local interest in this car, speedbagger. I'm glad I jumped on it, but, I am sorry you missed out on a car you were interested in. I hope another good one pops up on the market for you soon.
Black930, I'm resisting the urge to mod it. My last car, the 73E, was significantly modified and I know first hand how slippery that slope can be. This car is really in great condition and I know I'm going to be happy with it the way it is. Perhaps someday when I feel the suspension is getting tired, I might upgrade it, lower the car to the Euro ride height, and move to 17" wheels. But, that's probably quite a ways off.
^and that would be my reservation w/ getting too nice of a car. My auto enthusiast conscious would kick in and I'd feel guilty about messing w/ such a pristine example of Porsche history.
Hopefully I can find a solid, well maintained car that isn't perfect/rare to the point I'll feel bad about making it my own.
