why can't I be un-passionately content with my vehicle? I'm not gonna love the next one either, so why not just stick with the 993 until i find the right gallardo?

Ed was probably referring to this priceless, archived gem, Mr. Short Term Memory. Yes, yes, I know; you loved the marque back then but don't love any engines right now. Riiiiight...where's my jack off smiley? Who knows how you'll backtrack next month.

Looking into a 95-98 C2 or C4, complete newb here
Hi everyone,
I've been strongly considering selling my supercharged 1999 650rwhp mustang cobra vert, in order to purchase a 95-98 carerra. If I ask questions that have been previously covered, I apologize.
Basic background on me: 23, have a good career in financial services, live in northern NJ, and have always loved the air cooled flat six.
So, on with the questions:
1. What kind of price range is reasonable for a 95-98 C2 with between 30k and 70k miles? How about a C4?
2. Things to look out for. I understand the engines burn quite a bit of oil by design, but are there any trouble spots to look out for?
3. Are the drivelines fairly sturdy? What type of clutch issues might I face at the aforementioned mileage?
4. Recommended PPI shops in northern NJ?
5. Is the 4wd system of the C4 well proven? From what I remember it was one of the first p-cars with awd.
6. Overall, how has your ownership experience been? Would you do it again?
I greatly appreciate all your help, and sorry for the newb questions.
Oh, and finally, anybody have a black one with a tan interior and a 6 speed they want to sell?
thanks,
Oliver

This WAS a fairly engaging discussion until some decided to make personal attacks. And this is a group that shares common interests and a shared respect for each other.

Although I don't always agree with Quad, I also recognize that he's in his late 20s and is still a work in progress (as we all are). I, too, thought I knew all of life's answers as a young man.
Quad, I don't agree with you on this subject matter; it's clear you're pretty passionate about cars, whether you realize it or not.
I also think you have a pretty thick skin, seeing that this thread has become less of a discussion and more of a pecking party.
When you trade in all your enthusiast cars for a Toyota Camry, I'll grant that you're not passionate about great cars. Until then, you may hafta admit that you're a huge car nut with lots of passion for automobiles

Now, I have to go look at my 993 and drool!
