Oh, crap, I didn't realize you were selling it. Not a big deal as far as your participating here. It's not PCA - there's no requirement to show a VIN. Hell, how long ago did Kalash sell his car?
I know what you mean about putting family first. I'd love to be able to drive newer vehicles, but I've just got other priorities. That's why when I bought "new" vehicles for daily drivers for the wife and me back in November, my "new" Acadia was a 2014 model with 122,000 miles and the wife's was a 2015 Durango with 142,000 miles. But, hey, they look good, drive fine and I've already gotten them paid for in full.
I'm sure you'll miss it, but there will be another Porsche. I'll go check out your auction and give it some love. Looks like you're doing OK, though, with a $20,000 bid and a full day to go on the auction. And especially so with this Covid-19 crap going on.
As for the next one, remember that the search is half the fun. Don't be in a hurry. Frankly, I'd be really tempted to go with a Macan in a couple of years when there are more on the used market and the prices come down. Obviously I love the 996, but if I was looking again now, I don't think the 997, 991 or 992 really appeal that much to me. If I wanted a sports car, I'd probably be looking at a Cayman over one of the newer 911 versions. When the time comes, let me know if you want access to the dealer auctions and I'll get you set up.

I'm one of the victims of googling Schnelly's "Pink Sock". Ugh. My mind is poisoned.
But I'm having to work all my magic at home on low bandwidth lines. 
Yay me!
