Sad day
I took these pictures a long time ago on a family vacation. I'm pretty sure its a Porsche, but I may be wrong. I'm the newbie that's still learning my Porsche models! I remember seeing the car's owner standing next to it after the fire was out with a cooler. One of the firemen reached into the cooler pulled out a beer and handed it to the poor guy. Kind of 'you're going to need this buddy' moment! Is it a Porsche? What model if anyone can tell?





you can see the cooler he saved over his shoulder in this picture. Poor guy!

Thank you! I wasn't sure what it was... my boyfriend at the time said it was a 944, thanks for the confirmation.

It looks like a 924 to me (944 had more flare to the fenders). I had a 924S same color that also met an untimely demise (flood).

Definitely a 944, I had one. You can tell by the fog lamps and side body panel guards.

Very Sad :-(

It is a 944, 924s have round front side markers

A 944 get's toasted and y'all are sad? One less NARP as far as I'm concerned!

No. Porsches with water running through their veins are NARPS.

Water is for douches.

That would have to include the factory slant nose Turbos
