Thanks for the sympathetic words. I know, after all, it's just a car but it has been fun. It was my first Porsche but certainly not my last. I enjoyed some good track days with it and will not soon forget my spectacular spin at Buttonwillow.

A learning experience to say the least.
We'll see what I get next. The plan is for the woman to take over my X5 while I get something new. An E39 M5 is high on the list right now as is an E46 M3. I'll definitely be talking about it here when the time comes.
