And yeah, I guess when I make up my mind about something it's made up. I really love the car, but I like the idea of one fewer vehicle in the stable and I really like the money to finish the RX-8 and put a slug into my personal investments.
Ha, yes on mileage. Plus it's pretty hard for me to get a solid bead on value for my car, but I'm guessing 23 or 24 is the best I could do. I'd love to have the 987.2 and the DFI engine, but it's hard for me to justify a c. 6-7K delta to get it.

I like the yellow, actually, though I will confess I like blue more.

Yeah, but it also comes with a non-fucked up rear window, so, you know.

I wrote that joke 3 different ways, then decided I couldn't go that to JST.

I don't see doing that upgrade. Too close... Particularly since Josh was thinking about dumping the car altogether.

Honestly, I'd say this would be completely worth it. It's not just the peace of mind, the engine is essentially the same from 2009 to 2016, that says something about how good it turned out. Revvy and fun...
