OT, Selling My Porsche

Yep, I guess it's time to say goodbye to an old friend, my 1984 Porche 944. Since I've taken up biking the poor thing has just sat in the garage on weekends looking jealously at the Trek. I will miss her. But just think of all the extra money and room in the garage I will have

Why not convert the Porche into a singlespeed?

My Integra hasn't seen the inside of my garage for about 3 months now. There are 4 bikes and some other stuff in its place.

Sell the 944 - you'll have enough funds for a new Serotta.
