Question Do you lose sleep at night worrying ... ???

... worrying about all the things that can go wrong with our cars?

Boost leaks, vacuum leaks, MAF's, DV's, turbos, clutches, Tiptronics, other mechanical issues, electrical issues, cosmetic issues??? Thankfully I've had no major issues, and the majority of us probably have no major issues (and hopefully will not), but with all the discussions of things that have gone wrong (which I know is one of the purposes of 6speed), I am appreciative of the information available here -- even considering all the money you guys have made me spend on mods!

No, I don't really lose any sleep worrying about it But I'm old and I remember the simplicity of the past when you didn't need a computer to work on your car Maybe I should just buy my next car from Fred Flinstone

Thank you to the 6speed community for all the support and information you give.

No, I don't lose any sleep, other than from the excitement of having a Porsche in my garage! I am careful not to let my possessions possess me, not that it's always easy, cause it isn't.

I try to keep in mind that there is very little that cannot be fixed if necessary.

no, I run it until something doesn't sound right or it isn't running right then write a check to fix it. Why worry?

Truth! LOL!

Been around highly modded cars for so long I know stuff will break and the more you worry about it the less you enjoy the car. Drive it like you stole it until something goes boom, fix it and make it better!

Damon Ambien has worked wonders for years!

Also, sometimes when something breaks, it is your opportunity to upgrade.
