We drove from Kelowna down to Balfour this past week, and I can totally see how enjoyable carving that road would be in a vintage Porsche, with a group of people, stopping to stay overnight in small little towns at the local motels.
But on the flip side, we also want to buy another trailer and my budget right now does not allow for both the Porsche and the trailer. I'll probably go trailer as there's more benefit to family and making memories, but dangit I want to choose something for me for once!

I say do it, the 924/944 are pretty much just like any other car when it comes to wrenching, but they don't have as many body issues (rust) due to the galvanizing. Great car to enter the brand on. Even my boxster is pretty straightforward.
