So is it worth it?

Waitaminute, what car are we talking about, here? I've never heard of a car with three parking brake levers; or am I just not up on the old 911 lingo?

Older 911s are better. More clearance, skinnier tires.

I remember an article in Road and Track when the 996 Carrera 4 came out, where they lifted the suspension, put meaty tires on it, and then drove it in some legitimately gnarly place like Utah. It did pretty good.

Wheels did exactly the same thing in the Australian Outback. Turns out a 911 makes an excellent dune buggy.

Yeah, that's what I thought. You mentioned that it was traded in for your dad's Lexus, which would make me think it was his car before yours.

His money paid for it.  He offered it to me first, but I couldn't manage the entire payment on my own.
