I bring this thread up on this forum because it's the forum I came to originally.
We, who have owned these beasts for many years (37 in my case) must reach a point where we have to consider moving on. Not all, but I personally am having questions about this. I bring this up here because I am a CW & will always be. But, I have been thinking lately (six months or so) - is it time to put 2 nice cars into someone else's responsibility? I keep buying new parts, but never get around to installing them. Hell, I don't even need them! But, in the last year my interest is wanning. I don't have the physical capabilities to do what I used to, and I won't pay someone else to do what I KNOW how to do. I also have other interests, namely model railroading, which I've been involved in since before Porsches (do I sound like Jon Lowe?). I also don't have the urgency to do anything on the Porsches. I just don't think I care anymore, at least not enough. Used to be, when the garage temp rose above 50, I was there. Not any more. So, I'm asking for some opinions here. I will take all of them seriously. Should I get out? I'm inclined to do so. Can something re-awake the fire? I wonder. Your opinions are appreciated & welcomed. I'm on the brink. |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
My advice, being a young old 27 is to look at your health issues, and look into an exercise and diet change if you have not.
I go to the gym and see guys in their 50's that I would worry about getting into a fight with. On senior days when the county senior citizens come to the gym, there are some folks in their 60's and 70's that do some very impressive things and you would guess they are about 45..... There is your biological age and chronological age. Don't do anything rash or regretful until you make sure you are 100% as you can be given age and times toll on your body. I can tell you I am now in the absolute best shape of my life, even better than when I was in highschool simply due to diet and exercise as well as liberal sauna time. I have people ask me what grade I am when I shave and often get mistaken for being in HS. Just saying, you might be able to squeeze a few more good years of fun out and ease the transition per se. |
