TC thanks for the pic that brought back memories of a fun day and Brian you are right she'll be OK I guess I'm just going through a phase. I'll have the battery tested today and go from there. Thanks to all for talking me off the edge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well today I finally got around to getting her fired up. I went on vacation and have been busy with projects/work so I had to charge up the battery. Took some coaxing but finally got her fired up. Tomorrow I'm going to take her out and flog her like a bad girl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

QUOTE(Mr.242 @ Jun 23 2012, 10:40 AM)  If you do sell it: Set a price that is so ridiculous or out of the true range you should actually get for it.....then if someone come up with the funds to actually pay that amount. You'll laugh to the bank on the sale. The market is low and sounds like you've got 5-6 years to allow it to rebound and make some solid retirement plans. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've had several people tell me that they think my price on the 911 is realistic. They aren't the people looking to buy, of course. Not going to give it away and in ten years wonder WTF was I thinking... |

I went through same thing about a year or two ago.
I hung onto my '72 911 until last year, and ended up getting rid of it because I retired and realistically couldn't afford to refinish two Porsches. It took about 6 months for me to decide. It hurt, but it opened a fresh, new energy on other things. My wife wanted a Karmann Ghia to redo and I am in the middle of that at the moment. My son had a Type 3 Fastback, and we were in the middle of that at the same time. Then he decides to purchase a '65 Type 3 Notchback, which is what he's into at the moment, placing the Fastback on the back burner, (in my driveway). My '74 914 went back on jackstands and has remained there. I purchased all of the expensive parts early on, so when the Ghia is complete, I will return to the 914 with renewed energy. For someone that is retired, I am really busy. No stress, on my own clock, love it. |
