Nice lineage article

These Yahoo articles are usually not worth reading. This one is better than average.

My favorite part is...
"Forget the usual cliché of ‘knife to a gunfight’; throwing the 356 into the mix is like bringing a firework to a nuclear war."

That was a fun read...rare for Yahoo to get away from it's celebrity BS and Trump bashing to run a piece that's actually an enjoyable read. Like the accompanying photos as well. Sure no doubt about which car is friendly in appearance...

As a 356 owner, it *is* more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

And horsepower is indeed for those who can't keep their speed up in the corners.

A buddy (now departed..miss him.) had a '60 356B. It was his car that was instrumental in my buying my first new Porsche...a '66 912. So, fond memories...
