I would also like to related a quick story. My brothers owns a ' 71 porsche 911 which had sat in his garage for a year without being driven. I really liked the car so I thought that I might buy it and sell my Alpine. My brother was ready to be rid of it and suggested I take it home and drive for a while. I go it started and gave it a tune up. It's just a Beetle with two extra cylinders. I then drove it on weekends for about two months. It handles like a skate and reaches 120 mph in no time at all. But, I found out that even though my Alpine's handling is only OK and the acceleration is weak at best, I enjoy driving it more. I love the challenge of driving it on mountain roads and 90 mph in the Alpine is just as scary as driving 120 mph in the Porsche. Plus in the Alpine people wave at me, they give me the thumbs up instead of the finger, and when I stop for gas kids say "Cool car". In the Porsche I just annoyed people. I kept the Alpine. Crazy, but true!
