well it's more the time needed to baby this thing (keep it running) or spend more money for someone else to keep it running.. feels like a waste driving to IMA for every little issue that will pop up. I already put in $4000 into this baby.. that's the cap.

If it doesn't sell for a good price on Ebay I guess I'll just hold on to her and not drive her much..

I doubt I'll be interested in a NA 944 tho.. I see the same set of issues.

It's too bad that you have to sell your car. It looks like it could be nice ride. As far as the maintenance stuff that you had done since you bought the car, you do know that you'll never escape that. I'm sorry that you won't have time to play with your car. As far as having an extra mouth to feed, most of us here on this board have kids as well, so we do alot of our own maint/repairs ourselves. Finding the time can be tough. I will often put my car on jackstands, put Shelly and the kids to bed and then stay up on a Fri. or Sat. night to do what I need so that I still have time for them during the day. It can be a huge juggling act but it can be done.
Good luck just the same!!

Mike

hey thanks Michael..

funny thing today I drove it and had a blast.. most I've had in the car since I've had it in 4 months. It put a smile to my face that perhaps if it doesn't sell.. I can keep it the same.. we'll see. But the money I've spent in 4 months, I think it would be cheaper for me to just buy a 911Turbo, haha.

As for juggling time.. I am finding it is like 6th on my list when I have free time after basketball, working out, playing music, reading and sleep! Life trully changes drastically when your first baby comes!
