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.

I had one of the first sold in the US. Loved to drive it, but it suffered 2 bad manifold leak episodes and one turbo failure while I had it (like in about 15 K miles). Had all the issues of early 924s, with the manifold and turbo problems added. 1980s had the "snail" tranny, which was such an issue Porsche imported almost as many spare trannies as they did cars. Got a REALLY big ticket in it ..................... The Chippies had to set up a road block 'cause they couldn't catch me on the mountain road. Ahhhh, to be young and stupid!
