I suppose I regret that I regret regretting that I might regret something I'd regret if I ever regretted being regretful about owning a 993.

Well, I often regret paying too much for a car with no records from a used Porsche dealer...but no one twisted my arm except for the little Porsche devil inside of me so I have to live with my decisions and not look back. And besides, We don't need no stinking records!!! I just went ahead and began my own huge stack!

Other than my own impulsivity on purchase, I never look back. This is a GREAT car to own and drive.

I regret that as I'm driving around, everyone else is enjoying its beautiful looks, but they didn't pay a damned thing see the show.

Funny, I do sometimes regret driving it every day.

I use mine as my daily driver and sometimes think I'm putting on too many miles by just driving it back and forth to work every day. But then I think it was meant to be driven, and even just driving it every day to work, I still look forward to the trip.

Me too, but I just remember that I would rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't. It sure is a great car to own.

Sometimes I regret paying what I did for my 95 in April 2006 pre-Rennlist discovery. That's it.

I regret putting in the M030/HD combo rather than the M033 set. And i should've kept the stock stearing wheel. Even though I get compliments on the wheel I now have (hand stiched 996 three spoke).

PS: We all know the lyrics of "My Way", thank you very much.
