Post Nice 84 944... Haha, not mine! (Reliable? YES!)

I see it pulling into the neighborhood...

It's stone grey, and looks to be in so good a shape, it just jumped out of a brochure printed in, 83!

Anyway, I foundout it's owned by a guy who lives 3 houses down. Original owner, who picked it up in Germany. Almost the same color as mine, but I think it's 'stone grey'. Very very nice car, I was surprised he lived close by. He said he puts less than 500miles a year on it. (his 4th car).

I asked him what broke, in 17 years, he said fuel pump, and nothing else... Not a water pump, not motor mounts... So much for common weak points. (The car now has 70+k miles on it, and not a scratch).

There's a another one in my neck of the woods, and it's a grey 86. I met the owner today, he has 120k on it with no major troubles. Just maint.

My boss has an '83 944 that is almost identical to mine, but his is in that same grey color. I love it when he drives the Porsche instead of his SUV or 'Vette, since the site of twin 944's in the parking lot is just so darn pretty!

I guy down the street from me at home in CT has a new Boxster and a grey-market 928S (beautiful condition). He drives the Boxster all the time, but the only time I see the 928 out is when he is washing it... never seen it on the road This is one beautiful 928, people... metalic aqua-marine (don't know the exact color's name) without a scratch on it. I just wish he would actually drive it once in awhile!

That does it! I'm getting my car painted stone gray next week...I'm tired of having to fix things so often! My red car has too many things wrong with it.
