Awesome! Like you, I couldn't bear to let my Integra get too far away. Gave it to the in-laws as a runabout. Great car. Never had a significant problem with it.

Unlike the Porsche in many ways, but both are very fun to drive and tossable.

From a lot of these responses, it seems like the 911 is an addiction that cannot ever be satiated. Having only owned my C2S for two months, I already know that my next car (whenever that may be) is going to be a turbo.

Also, I'm surprised that, even in LA, people still compliment the car. I accept the compliments graciously while thinking, don't you see at least 20 of these every day?

Keep in mind this is rennlist users which might skew younger than Yahoo polls. 33 here, bought my first one at 24. I'm now on my 5th PCAR.

I don't wish this obsessions upon anyone.

I waited until I was 44 for my first (RS America) and I'm 59 now, see history below. I should have bought this 356 in 1966 and I was within a few moments of doing so but didn't for stupid reasons (in retrospect).
