What P car do you own?

What Porsche do you own? Not dream of owning, owned and then sold in a moment of weakness, own a replica of, drove once with this really hot chick on the way home from band camp, etc. Just what do you currently own? For you multiple car owners, pick which one you'd keep if you had to get rid of the others...

Edit - I'll start with my 356. Aside from the sentimental attachment to my particular car, it is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow, and horsepower is for those who can't keep their speed up in the corners.

Currently a 944, just something to fiddle around with. In the past, a 356C, a 912 and a 924(slow but as complex as an anvil)

There is a big difference between a 914 and a 914/6

My VIN number indicates a 1976 911, but the only thing left on the car from 1976 is the body shell and the gearbox. Pretty much everything else is different... :>)

Easy choice, I'd keep the 72 911.

I started off with a '78 SC coupe, then a '84 Carrera Targa, now a '90 964 coupe. Logical progression, don't you think? I wonder what's next, perhaps something with TT behind the name, hmmm?

So is, the S, S2, and Turbo.

But 911s are broken out by years...

We started with a 1995 993. After acquiring the 73E, the 993 was used less and less and I eventually sold it. My wife preferred the 73E, too.

You hit "356" and "Pre-74 911" buttons at the same time...

IMHO, the poll could be:

356
911: Early (pre 964)
911: Late air cooled (964/993)
911: Water cooled (996/997)
912/912E
914/914-6
924/924S/944/944S/944S2/951/951S/968 (All Front engine water cooled 4cyl)
928/928GT/928GTS (All V8 front engined sports cars)
986/986S/987/987S (Boxster)
Cayman/Cayman S
Cheyenne/CheyenneS/Cheyenne Turbo S
Exotics (Abarth Carrera, 904, 959, CGT...etc)
Race/track only (Cup cars, '73 RS, and virtually any P-car can qualify for this, given enough modification...)

My bad - fat finger-check. Yeah, the "6" and "8" key are like almost next to each othe...

Fixed.
