78 930.

Stunning looking car.

Hmmm, probably one of my old quattros. Maybe shoulda kept one :rolleyes: Probably the red one - 1981 Euro car brought into the US illegally before quattros were even sold here. Could have been the first one in the US.

See, in my teen years Trans Ams represented money, class, and being beautiful. Problem was, I couldn't afford one, so I was stuck with being dull and envious. Then one day, with the turn of that key, everything clicked. I realized I had arrived. I had a good job, a nice house, a husband, and maybe I was pretty. All because I bought the car I always yearned for.

Loved this car, hated it sometimes, but mostly loved. Not sure beautiful is the right term but certainly "cool" looking. Always got thumbs up when driving

cockerpunk 11-09-2023 07:06 AM

probably one of the best cars ever made in terms of looks, my red 944 turbo:

The Z is probably my favorite car I've ever owned. It's now my son's and all the "chrome/aluminum" was changed to black years ago.

The A5 is my currently daily and I do think it's a very handsome car. (this is a stock photo, NOT my car...but identical)

I would still have it if I wasn't run off the road over a decade ago by a Suburban coming the other direction.

It really has. That is the only Porsche I would buy again. I'll start looking in a few years.

So many P-Cars. We had just moved to the farm and I took this pic of the 83 SC:

Loved it, but the 964 was the best of the air-cooled in my opinion.

I bought and sold a '69 Z/28 in this color scheme for $1,800 in the old days. No hide-away headlights or cowl induction hood.

I had one of these in the early 90s, but I had chrome Centra wheels.

Early 00s I had this M3. Sexy little car, but I never thought it was the legend that everyone thinks it is.

Then I got into Porsches.

dmcummins 11-10-2023 01:39 AM

I wish I had kept my 72 S targa, sold it for $25,000 when I thought that was a lot of money. My 73 T was better looking though, at least I thought. I put a 3.2 motor in it because that was the thing to do back when I owned it. Also sold it a few years after selling the 72, also for $25,000. We kept the wife’s 2000s Boxster till it died though.

Wow, really. 100 personally owned cars?

Since 1970 when I got my first car I have owned only 5, not counting my wife's cars. I still own two of them. I have not bought a car since 1995, again not counting my wife's cars.

I long ago resigned myself to the reality that I'm never going to have a collection, so I'm going to enjoy them one or two at a time.

Ted's got nice cars. I've always admired the '64 Buick, and the '34 Vicky is just drop dead gorgeous. And of course his race cars are immaculate, at least in pictures. Blondie looks good in the Buick, too!

I've had 3 cars in the last 30 years; a '92 Toyota pickup, white, an '88 911, GP white with Champagne, and an '82 E28, in Bronzit with beige leather. This picture of the E28 is aspirational. When and if mine is complete it will have similar wheels as these (16's, not 17's) and this stance. I think it's really handsome in this color.
