I kinda want to sell all of my cars....
And buy one of these:
And with that, I will say something about this car, that I have never said about any other car.... It scares me. Something about the snap-oversteer putting me into a wall or it wanting to burst into flames makes me feel like I might die in this thing... Oh well - just have to pay to play in one of these, right?

Old 911's were manufactured out of 100% pure win.

That sums it up pretty well.
Yep. IMO, one of the only cars that was perfect when it left the factory.

When this weather gets nice, I would like to make the trip up to Carson City and grab lunch, if possible.

you should watch the 1987 Charlie Sheen movie "No Mans Land" to get into the mood for you switch
featuring DB Sweeny infiltrating a notorious gang of Porsche thieves run by Sheen. Pretty entertaining, but probably paid for by Porsche. Trailer for you featuring painful 80s beat- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c0dj11dn98

The air cooled 911s are sweet. The early turbos interest me as a relatively simple supercar.
An air cooled 911 is the only car I can ever remember getting sideways on the street in on dry pavement and certainly the only time it happened by accident. Like a high powered pistol they are to be handled with care and respect.

Expensive to maintain and if you like turbo lag.

One of the baddest cars I've driven was a Carrera R/S. In 1st and 2nd gear the car would just sit there and shake because it couldn't hook up the 14" wide tires

An old buddy used to have a turbo; there is an art to it driving those safely when the turbo kicks in. Thought it was a little nerve racking for my taste.

My friend's Dad owned an '87 930 - black/black. When he was away on business we take it out for joyrides.
It was fast, but had terrible turbo lag and handling was tricky at high speeds. We ended up bending the clutch fork on our last outing. Stranded of course, so we walked to a payphone and got it towed home. His Dad wasn't too happy over the $2500 bill. A few weeks later my Dad and I ran into friend's Dad in the church parking lot. He asked me what happened, and I had to come clean seeing that my Dad was standing next to me and we that were also in the presence of the almighty one.

Dude, you're too young for a mid life crisis. I suppose that you're craving polyester poop pants and a large gold necklace.

Air cooled P cars are amazing, respect them, they are one of the few cars that will take joy in killing you if you drive a bit to fast.
One of my friends fully restored a 1967 911 and it is scary when you get on it. The rear wants to kill you; just a bit hot into a corner and the rear will come around, and your done. Only car I can think of that has the similar want to kill you feel is the Dodge Viper.
