I’m not suggesting you change for the sake of changing but rather to view this as an opportunity to investigate what’s out there. Change and variety are a spice of life. You really haven’t investigated what is out there because your mind is closed when it comes to the ancient 997.
 

No matter, your mind is made up. Buying a rebuilt PDK box is your best option as long as it comes with a reasonable warranty. kiss

That ancient 997 has more character than most new vehicles, which seemed designed as soulless as possible.  A DD doesn’t require a state-of-the-art infotainment system with augmented reality navigation as he knows exactly where he is going.
