I never "got" the 959 from an esthetic standpoint. I think the first time I saw a picture of one was in an article with Bill Gates driving one on the track and I just found it odd looking...but I think the 964 was the apex of 911 air cooled evolution.
So there's that. That and I like Targa's
Proof that there is an a$$ for every seat.
I almost have my 997 back on the road, so my opinion may change!
