Does this mean I have officially lost my mind?, Fallen off the wagon again.... Options

No idea what possessed me to do this. I am already way overloaded on cars and was not even looking to buy another, in fact its the one model of Porsche I have previously said I would never care to own. But I was just scanning the local classified for all things Porsche (as one does) and came across one that happened to be literally around corner in my neighborhood, walking distance so of course I have to go look at it. As I was not really looking to buy but it seemed he was motivated to sell I went ahead an lowballed his asking price...


....I now own a 931 (924 Turbo)! In addition to my 914s and 951.

Normally I only pull this sort of crap with 914s, I honestly have no idea what possessed me to go through with this other then pure Porsche addiction. Maybe 914s are just getting to popular and subconsciously I need to be an outcast again? Maybe it was the fact that this color combination doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out in the way most 924s do. Maybe it was the fact that I don't drive my 951 for fear of something breaking, while this thing I don't think I will mind beating the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of.

650 bucks for a Turbo Porsche... maybe that was it. Anyways, here are some pics, please let me know if I have completely lost my mind.

Few more details, has 78K on the odometer (no idea if that is accurate), was parked for at least the last 6 years. Not running, has at the least a bad fuel pump, last owner said he put in a Chinese pump from ebay to get it running and ran it for 20 min but it had no throttle response, then the pump dry and it killed it. I did hear it run powered by started fluid, actually has a pretty cool exhaust sound.

Not sure what exactly my plans are going to be for it, I was going to pack it away while I work on other projects but I am sort of itching to at least get it running first. I was thinking maybe strip it for a track day car but part of me thinks it might be nice enough to be saved as a normal street car, that and the fact that 924 turbos have pretty low production numbers and a good deal of them have been junked.

For the price I was not to worried about the fuel injection issues, as I am well experience with Megasquirt I figured worst case I could pull the CIS system and install Megasquirt for under 400 bucks, that would also help with tune ability if I was to say up the boost some. I do like keeping this original though and I have never played with CIS so might fiddle with that a bit first. As the whole purchase was somewhat un-expected I really dont know what my plans are for it.

Any thoughts?
