I kind of thought that too, considering which forum we're on. Mine is over 340,000 miles on the original engine, is fun to drive, and got 28.5 mpg on the last tank. OTOH, have you ever driven an air cooled 911? Mein Gott in Himmel! They drive better than nice, are decently good on gas, generally last long, are generally easy to work on, and have a pretty big trunk in front.

Of course driving is just not the fun it was when I was a teenager and in my twenties. Back in the 1950's and the early 1960's in Virginia there were not many cars on the road, especially at night, and almost no cops. We used to hold races out on the deserted highways. Imagine doing that now.

My position on that is that if I'm going to lose the roof and the weather protection it provides, then I may as well lose two wheels and a ton or more (literally) of weight and get on a sport bike. I owned a convertible once. Not again. I did, however check out a left over brand new 2012 ZX6R.
