My passion started with my brothers 1969 912 . When I was able to purchase my first was a 74 911S targa . Then a 87 944S . Then built a 914/6 GT clone . Then a 83 911 SC . Then a 02 986 S . And now a 996 C4 .
I enjoyed owning/driving/wrenching on all of them . I had a passion for all of them . I wave to any Porsche I see when driving . I am a member of PCA . I don't look up or down to any Porsche model . Maybe I am just an oddball 😋

Certainly. Much like the SC vs Carrera bickering, mostly done in fun and not a serious argument. My first Porsche was a 1974 914 2.0 that I ordered to my specs. I drove it as my only car until I bought my 86 El Camino in 1991. The 914 was a weekend toy, but not air conditioned. My wife insisted I get a car with AC for her to want to ride in. So I bought the 85 911 in 1995, and sold my 914.
In 2017 my wife wanted a Macan. She went to the Porsche web site a "built" her car with the options and colors she wanted. So in 2017, it was delivered. My name is on the title, but it is her daily driver. It is a great car and like a space ship conspired to my old 80s cars.
I have never had anyone put down my cars, and usually they come and admire them. Both are conversation starters.
