Pretty much done with old cars in general...including "classic early 911"...
Right now enjoying what I have, which is a a fast enough & pleasant highway driver, without the worries of driving something irreplacable. Flame away, but I LIKE having a hassle free car, which this has been.

I'd love an old Willys Jeep truck. I almost bought one before the Carrera.

I really like my 99 superduty diesel 4x4 and I was always into Datsun Z cars for years before I got into Porsches.

Did you guys know that I'm a motorhead? No REALLY - I am!
 I have owned, or admired, oh let's just cut to the chase LUSTED for everything from pushrod American iron, to Jaguars, everything German except Audis, an occasional Alfa or Lancia, zesty Subarus, and quite a few rear wheel drive Japanese cars. I like to think that the cars which speak to me longingly do so in many languages.  Right now, the "other than Porsche" herd includes a 72 two-wheel drive Blazer, an 87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, four (yes FOUR) speedster replica projects - one air cooled VW, the other three will be subie powered, the 550 spyder replica, and my DD - a Ford Edge. A LOWERED Ford Edge. Seriously - who the heck has a lowered ORANGE Ford edge - LOL! angela

That would be an Arnolt Bristol. A gorgeous car, and very desireable. In 1961 still using a variation of the mid to late 30's BMW 327/328 engine, and still quite competitive.

Get off my lawn!

My other toy is my daily driver 1986 El Camino. I have had it for 20 years and it just rolled 310,000 miles.

I like anything that has the look. Hot rods. Cafe bikes. Slammed wagons. Woodies. Sports cars. Race cars of all kinds. Tubbed Nash Metros-big block or small block, who cares. Meyers Manx dune buggies. Nomads. Weird stuff that just looks good, like this thing a guy from Grants Pass concocted:
 TV Tommys dragster. Beautiful.  Check out this tidy little '34!  I like some off the wall stuff that you never ever see like the Facel Vega:  I'm glad Ralph Lauren is a car guy, he has pretty good taste, and I like his Bugatti:  Point is, if it looks good to me, I like it. I'll never be able to afford the cars I'd love to afford, but I do get to have a 911 for fun, and a work truck that I spend far too much money on, because I like it. Someday, maybe, I'll trade in the 911 for a rodney, but for now, I just like to look and see all the cool stuff out there..... This is an excellent thread idea.

I like all things off road, including dirt bikes, trucks, dunebuggy's, etc. I've really had an affinity for older street bikes as of late. I've sold all my porsches and just sold my M Coupe a couple weeks ago. Having too much fun racing dirt bikes, but I will be getting an air-cooled, carbed 911 next, can't wait!

Until I got my 911 it was Audi, older BMW, old Dodge Power Wagons, Unimogs, old Mercedes convertibles, and Jags. The 911 has become the new obsession.

I'm just an all around gear/motor-head. I come by it naturally. My dad was too, and even my mom liked going fast even though she's grown out of it.
I like American V-8s, I like performance whether it's in a straight line or around corners (preferably left and right). I appreciate the performance of modern sports cars and there are some that I would love to have, but my real love is for classics from the early 70's down (pretty much any 911 from 993 down is a classic to me). The old cars had so much more character and style than most of the new ones. I'm not a big truck guy, but some of them are cool like the Unimog, H1, Jeeps, etc... I can appreciate just about any unique or special vehicle or vehicles with special or extraordinary capabilities.

My wife and I are car nuts. We've had a bunch of cars and enjoy wrenching on them. I love motorcycles too. My last one was my fav...a KTM 690 Duke. What a hoot!!
My 1994 640HP Supra was my "other" car. Just a fantastic, daily driver. When we're not in the Porsche, my wife and I both have Lexus'. We've had 4 Lexus..and we'll pretty much always have at least one. The Supra:  My classic, one owner 1990 LS400  The wife's IS300..manual. She modded it herself  An Audi TT I modded to use as a winter beater:  A Honda Insight I had...just to say I once owned a hybrid! Made money on this car when I sold it too!  A GS400 I had in a sorta-rare color (Antique Bronze Mica)
