Great color and wheels. I can see why you miss it.

Maybe your neighbor will let you revisit your old ride.

what was the replacement - maybe THAT is the real problem

I saw my old car a few times and have to say....as much as I loved it, it was like seeing an old girlfriend - mixed feelings about it - wouldnt say missed it though, just remembered it (mostly all good)

Looks like the IMS, RMS and halogen lights were all leaking. I say good riddance!

I have the same color combination - my absolute favorite. May be selling mine, too as I just bought a condo and I prefer to put that money into fixing up the place. Sucks to be responsible. ;-)

As Ivangene said, what was the replacement? Maybe that is the issue. However, it is hard to get over an old crush sometimes.

I've always got the lingering "it would be nice to upgrade" in the back of my mind but I just can't justify it. GREAT looking, GREAT performance, and now with a higher value proposition from most practical analysis...e.g. no one else can really tell the difference between a 996 and a 991.

I'm happy.


I can see why you miss that car though - it's gorgeous!!
