Cannot agree more, when I worry about my 911, I want to sell it. When I drive my 911 I am never going to sell it. It's a hate love relationship, a bit like owning an Alfa Romeo, just that those do not start. Heart and soul kind of thing, and what a size of that heart and the soul. Just love it, and hate it, but just a little bit.
My reasons for owning a Porsche.
1. It sticks to the road
2. It's got hips
3. Did I mention the hips
4. Decent performance
5. When five year old boys stop at the pedestrian crossing and point asking their dads, then you know, you just know it is a special car
6. Chicks call it a frog
Reasons for not owning a Porsche anymore
1. As long as those above weigh more it does not matter. You change your mind when you go in it anyway.

I'm really cutting loose now.
This morning I'm packing for a laundry run and grab the bleach. "No, no, no" instantly comes to mind. "This is your Porsche, think about it, bleach stains for the rest of its life."
Bottom line, I'm taking the bleach. It has a lid on it. I can be spontaneous, but not crazy. Not just any lid. I poured it into a more fail safe container. I call that a healthy compromise.
Rest assured I'm not entering the beater zone. Tomorrow I start some serious detailing. Been driving around for weeks with no front bumper cover (fixed both rad fans).

If any of you start getting overcome with worry, just crack a beer and go read on the Ferrari 328/348 forums. You'll be back to normal in no time!

The average cost of maintenance for a driven F355 is between $7 - 10K annually. As bad as it sounds, I still want to take the risk of buying one. Case and Point, the 996 IMS crap got nothing on a $45K repair bill.
