Haha I haven't forgotten, but for the dollar amount over my m3 (15-20k) I don't think its a wise way to spend my money for the minimal enjoyment increase it will probably have. I think I'm a little tied up in the desire to own a porsche before I turn 30 which clouds my judgement.

Porsches last forever and they are here to stay. There is no rush. Take it from a hipster poser. :concentrate:

They are photos used on many different websites so in essence, not a true depiction of the car in question.

For some reason, I seem to have a nagging impression that these things are rather rust-prone, and parts are difficult to source.

Price is really high but :sweetjesus:

i know :( ... smg to me sucks the life out of the driving experience, especially having driven the 6spd manual and loving it, but the low mileage and condition is good... you can always get rid of the wheels.

That's such a clean evo with super low kms. Go check it out and report back! Most evos in the $14k range are all 100-150k kms :(
