Default Reason why I would never sell my car...

Because I could not bear seeing it in being driven by some else... apart from the fact I find 993s terrific...

Because its apart in a billion pieces and its unsellable at this point....apart from the fact that I find aircooled 911s irresistible....

Never say never as statements such as this foreshadow unforeseen circumstances in one's life. I would have said this about my first Porsche until it got wrecked and never drove the same after being repaired.

in the case of my 993 cab because I could never get out of it what I have into it

in the case of my 944 because it was my first Porsche

but in general all my cars because like Dierks Bentley sings, "I hold on". Good at buying them not good at selling them

since i purchased my '72 project car, i have been spending more time in the 911 forum than the 993 forum - it is surprising how often someone posts a thread in that forum searching for a car they sold many years ago. you can see the desperation to find a car they now regret letting go. it has certainly struck me as something to really think about should i decide to sell one of mine. frankly, my SC has more sentimental value than my 993 - so it might be the toughest to let go for me.

Because nothing else feels, sounds, or smells like it.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... that was my first thought. Shouldn't say never, but I can't see ever parting with this one.

Because not having a 993 in the garage for 10 years made me miserable, and I am not going back to that!

Because it was my brother’s, when he passed it came to me, and it’ll be my son’s one day. Couldn’t afford her, could never replace her, and learned everything about her, so I could properly care for her.

Because of all of the work I put into it. I'm not going to let someone else enjoy the fruits of my labor.
