One of the reasons I bought the 991 and loaded it with options I wanted - as opposed to maximize resale value- was a realization that life is indeed too short.

Believe me, you don't want to buy my car but after my lease but the fact that I drive it once or twice a week in the winter is not the reason.......
In all seriousness (actually I was serious in the paragraph above) I used to buy preowned but after being hit 3 times by distracted drivers killing the value of my car, I no longer will buy preowned unless it's a more modest purchase. I am willing to pay more for the lease and get a new car every 27-36 months. This works perfect since I have car ADD.
Edit- I would like to add that even if I did buy a car preowned 911 other sports car, I would drive it in non-snow weather even with salt and other stuff on the roads. These cars are made well and can handle the elements (to a certain extent). I wash all the cars at lease once a week all year round and whether I drive it or not, it's depreciating. If something breaks, I fix it. I'm done babying my cars. Do I take care of them, yup, do I let them sit and depreciate while I look at it, not anymore.
