There was a short gap in ownership until I purchased a slightly used 1993 Porsche RS America(owned 15 years). Recently acquired a 2012 Carrera GTS with Aero Kit in Basalt Black. Love the car!! Also have a 2014 Infiniti Q60 IPL, which is a great daily driver and excellent sport coupe. Picture of the GTS below(hope I'm doing this posting thing correctly): Attachment 1000998
Sorry to hear about the 1976 Z car. Four years earlier they really had something. Can you imagine if instead of letting the 240-Z lapse into ever more bloated and expensive imitations they had relentlessly developed and refined it the way Porsche has done with the 911? Oh well. You've had some good ones since! Kudos on the RSA. Bet you wish you still had it. But maybe not too much, not with this GTS you have now!

Word of advice (which you by now probably no longer need!) if you keep this one 15 years, don't sell! That's right about when they start going UP!
