Porsche anyone?

Very nearly bought a 944S....it was in good shape and the price was right, but there was no way I could afford to keep that thing on the road. A brake job or clutch replacement would park the car for months while I saved money.
I like the 930 and 993 series cars, and of course the 959.

If we bought PCs, then maybe we could afford the Porsches. Macs eat into that supercar budget just a wee bit.Togglehead said:

944s is a GREAT car.....and they arent that bad with maintenance....if youre handy at all...a lot of stuff you can do yourself!!!
and MAN....its WORTH IT!!!!
the is NO substitute
wow...weird thread.....i hate liarsvniow said:
Anyway.....honestly....its not a matter of fortune for a 944....you can pick one up for pretty cheap if you look right.....they dont call it the "poor man's porsche" for no reason....at a whopping 25k when it first came out, it was by far the cheaper option in the line.
...but when you come right down to it....its still a porsche...and it handles like it.....look on ebay...you'll see what i mean....;D

Yeah, good thing they weren't actually my cars. I'm not even sure why they were in that particular lot, since there was a go-kart race going on right next to them. My Ford Focus on the other hand, I have no worries
Obviously, they had to sit out due to having a engine slightly over the displacement limit.gauchogolfer said:
Porsche Boxsters are for girls. Real men get 911s or carrera GTs (if you got A LOT of spare cash lying around).

I know they're like one of the "ultimate" cars to have, but to be honest I've always found them kind of ugly.
I got my first Porsche back in 1987 (I was 19 at the time) and had owned 4 during the next ten years (always kept the first one during that time though). I had two 914s and two 911s (coupe and targa).
If I ever get back to California (or some place more Porsche friendly than here) I would love to get an old 356b or 356c. I've wanted one of those for almost 20 years now.
I had owned 3 Porsches before I owned my first Mac... I definitely had different priorities back then.

I don't think so. They've become far too common. Plus the engine in the 911 is in the wrong place.

That makes up most of the population. I think you're reading posts from the 1% of the population who's daddies made enough to buy their kid a Porsche for college.
(And I know I'm making the assumption that he didn't earn the money to buy the Porsche himself, but that is NOT a typical summer job savings type of car to buy)
