welcome. I had 2 porsche's before, a 1985 1/2 944 and a 1988 911. great cars. I didn't own them very long tho. like you I feel like i'll own the z forever. I also keep my cars spotless. I bet most people with such nice cars do too. mine is also gunmetal. I understand about the "basics". that's how Porsches were. it was all about the driving. no frills necessary. good luck with your z.

My last one as I was leaving into this new chapter was also an 88 911. Fun car! I had an 89 944 Turbo as well with all the S upgrades from 88. Best car out of all of them. What a rush when the turbos kicked in. My 911 TT was just plain scary to drive. But beautiful to look at. The Z seems to have it all!

drove the 997.1 before getting the Z. I personally thought the 997.1's interior was dated and the shifter was terrible. Great engine and exhaust tone, but didn't think it worth the higher purchase price and maintenance cost (IMS & RMS potential issues, $1200 just to replace the plastic coolant expansion tank!!).

I did 3 IMS bearings over my 11 car ownership - two Boxster S and a 996 Cab. Still worried me in the back of my mind. Always something with those cars!

Sorry - I meant this to go under the person that wrote about the IMS - sort of looking like this reply is out in left field...lol
