Cool

I can (I think) honestly say the last 911 that would interest me is the 997.2

The newer cars are just 'too much' for me.
Too much 'stuff' - the writing in the headlights are a perfect example of that in my mind.

The 997 had enough power to be really fun - I don't need more.
The size of the car is big enough - the newer ones are even bigger...
When I was at the Porsche Museum this last fall - they have a display showing the silhouette's of each series superimposed on the wheelbase of the first 911 (1963 model year).
It is amazing how larger the current cars are over even the 997.

Plus - I just don't need to spend more $$ on a new (or newer) car than the 997.
Then again - I have E9, E23 and Mustang at home too. I guess I am just an old fart.
