Never baby it, that a boy Bill. Porsche's are made to drive. I have to say, driving it after a few hours you are exhausted. You drive it, it doesn't drive you. i.e., it doesn't make it easy.

My impression of the Porsche, that a Porsche 911 is unsophisticated and poorly design but excellently engineered piece of equipment. I think its beautiful.

My first Porsche is a 1986 911 Targa Carrera, of which I still have, I came very close to selling it, but I am glad I didn't.

Color is Sky Blue which is the color shown......

'original metallic turquoise is that what they call it.'

and is a blast to drive. and yes, I do have a small collection of tickets.

300 HP .....mine is only 255 hp........ driving it feels like a over powered go cart.

Targa is my favorite model for some reason.

12 years ago I was so close to buying an early 70s 911S Targa with 2.7l engine. I regret passing on that one.

Funny, I always have my eye out for Porsches that had issues.

Ran across a White '85 911, with a whale tail. The lubrication on these are pretty finicky. The oil gets pumped from the resvoir threw the engine, and then through the filter. You have to maintain this, and keep it clean. Anyways the Owner blew the engine.

The insurance doesn't cover that. Shop offered $2,500.00 for it. I picked it up for $3,500.00. The owner had tears for have to sell it so cheap, but........I pieced it out, sold what I didn't need and made a tidy profit.

I would never consider myself a mechanical because I hate working on cars. but I love this one.

You want a go-Kart on steroids? I am replacing my woeful 1.6L engine in my 1973 914 with a 2001 Corvette LS1 engine. 425HP at the wheels. Enough said.

ha, better keep a skateboard in the truck when you tear up you drive train. I don't want to see you stranded without alternate transportation.

Using a 930 gearbox there will be no problem
