Garage
Back in 1992 I was driving my 1974 914 2.0 with no air conditioning that I bought new. Then I got married. We took a two day trip to see the fall foliage in Arkansas. We put her luggage in the rear trunk. All of her makeup melted. She strongly "suggested" I get a Porsche with air conditioning and trunk that was not above heat exchangers.

I figured it was time to buy my dream car, a 911 Carrera. I started looking everywhere. Remember this was before the Internet was much more than a novelty. I found my car in a city just 100 miles away. It was a daily driver but the owner parked it in a underground parking garage with assigned parking. He parked between two other guys with nice cars and there were no door dings. I started drooling just looking at the car.

It has been my toy since 1995 and I think it is the perfect toy. It is worth more money than what I paid for it, and I will drive it to Savannah GA in just few weeks.
