Hmmm, probably one of my old quattros. Maybe shoulda kept one 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.

All because I bought the car I always yearned for.







Now that's cool!!!

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

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)

For me, my 964 Targa was:



Not mine. The one I owned was Amazon Green. Stunning.

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.
