I can relate, although not on the scale you are dealing with. After a while I look at stuff sometimes and feel like I'm the one owned by the stuff, not the other way around. I go through about a two-year cycle on cars and then start over, not really sure why, maybe the fun of the search or the completion of the way I envisioned the car and then it's time for a new project. I've noticed I'm not alone with this affliction either as i see some beautiful car being sold, only to have the sellers pop back up on here with a new toy.

Sell them and move on, they are only machinery in the end, and we are only temporary custodians. And when the bug hits, just find another. Great looking cars, all the best.

Accessory removed
Clutch system bled

I see on the carfax that the engine had been replaced. Do you happen to know why this was done?

Well that's Carfax for you! I have the original receipts and it shows that it was a CPO car that the owner was complaining about an oil leak so Porsche Re-sealed it under the CPO!
