Just wish we had the to have it fixed properly. Mostly needs a paint job. Problem with heater (as is the case w/most of the older Porches I've been told). Only 83,000 miles. We had electrical work, wiring, all that taken care of a couple years ago. New cabriolet top. All that. But it just sits there. Plus, private parking but no garage at our condos. I love it. It was a graduation presebt from parents. But may be time to say goodbye if a nice older man can promise to take care of it

I very much appreciate your creativity and obvious enthusiasm.

If you don't have the capital to completely restore your Porsche, you don't have the capital to start a retail apparel (or any other) business that will survive. Yes, even if you do sell the car.

I should clarify. It's not that we don't have the capital to restore the Porsche, it's that we don't know if it's worth putting $20K in the car rather than starting a business. It may be this apparel business or another type of business. We have some money (inheritance, trust fund, savings). Just trying to figure out next steps in securing our future. I think we are doing all the right things... we have stocks, hubby has 401K, I am a consultant so I have an IRA, we own our condo, no debt... so we're pretty secure for 30-something-year-olds. ::fingers crossed:: We just want to do something fun, together, as a couple; and we love horse racing

LOL! I've never even ever had a pet. No. I/we could never own a horse. The irony is that though we enjoy racing, I'd worry every race that he/she would break down

Mind you, hubby has entertained the thought. I don't know if it would be a good investment. Maybe being part of a group... it'd have to be a fun group though Wouldn't mind hanging out with Wes Welker or Gronk. Ha! As if.
