Brake job - Have dealer do it, find an independent shop, or do it myself?

Nice car, you still have it?

Yes. I have had it for 22 years. It’s a 2000, bought in 2003, with 8,000 miles.

That thing should be on display, not getting abused on a track

How many miles on it now, I bet it's a blast! Those cars were so ahead of their time, and still look superb!

Some cars are meant to be driven, that's one of them for sure. Might as well have fun driving it vs. just looking at it.

58,000 miles. About 1/3 of the miles were on the track. It's a great track car. I could stay with the 997 GT3s even though I was down 100 hp. It is retired from track duty - replaced by a racing simulator

Lol... that would be like having a trophy wife and keeping her in a glass cage to gawk at.

The both get out, but no more track days

I was actually agreeing with @blnewto's comment above, that some cars are meant to be driven, not merely to be looked at.

Love that you were able to enjoy them the way they are meant to be.

Nah - just keep her in bed
