Getting Depressed
#48
The only thing I ever worry about with this car is getting too many speeding tickets. I've waited a long time for Porsche to build a 911 that looks and runs like the 997S and I'll keep mine for a long time.
Since anyone who has one already owns one of the strongest anti-depressants on the face of the earth, if you're still depressed after driving this car, get some medical help.

Ok this thread is almost dead. But, here is my two cents: I have had my 997 for 6 months and have driven it 6000 miles as a daily driver. The car has been and is perfect. Zero issues.
To those who say "they don't build em like they used to", I say "Thank God for that." My air conditioner works and cross winds do not blow me all over the freeway. If you like the older 911's, then go out and buy a restored early seventies model for about $45k. They are great cars but you will not want to drive it everyday.
Why did we spend gobs of money on our new 911's? The car has character and an increbile history. Last but not least, the 911 is super reliable and requires very little maintenance. Which other super cars have 20,000 mile service intervals?

I've looked at 2 to buy in the last 4 months....
1) An '03 red/tan targa w/ 22k mi. Had engine replaced at 17k miles.
2) An '06 red/tan "S" with 3500 mi. since new. Had engine replaced already.
I see this as both...pathetic, AND, they're still fun cars that I still want.

The engine does not even have that much HP in todays market. Does not make me want to keep the car past the warrenty. Doubt I would ever purchase another porsche. Seems crazy to even think about a used one given the engine issues. Seems like way to many catastrophic events that people talk about on this board vs just the normal nitnoid problems you see on other manufacturers boards. Assume the average number of board members having issues is the same as the general population of 911 owners.
Its pooring rain outside today, maybe thats why I'm in a blue funk mode and contemplating the worst case scenario for my engine, although it seems to be OK, who knows I may start it tomorrow with black soot coming out of one side and a puddle of oil on the ground. What a depressing day it is

Right now I'm in Asia, LBFM's everywhere. you can have Amsterdam. If you have to ask what an LBFM is, you have yet to live, and need to get your pipes cleaned.
