Porsche speedster - am I nuts?
I saw a purty 1956 Porsche speedster at the store yesterday and it brought back pleasant memories of driving those things years ago. So I'm considering adding one to my stable of 4 FBs and a REPU. Originals cost 50-70k and replicas 10-20k. Probably a replica is ok for my needs (needs?). I can probably half-*** justify this as an investment. In fact, it may be a very good investment. And a pleasuure to drive to the store.
Decisions, decisions. It's a hard life.

well, a speedster sure is a nice piece of equipment. I you can afford it: you can never have enough cars 
and if you're going for a replice, why not throwing a 13B in?
I wouldn't mind owning one myself, actually...

I'm what you all would consider an young guy. And even though I was never alive in that era I appreciate cars like this. If I had the money bliffle I would have one of those cars in my garage but as of right now it will only be a dream. My only fear is that when or if I could ever afford a car like that, these types of car will only be museum pieces.
