Why bother with a Chevy engine? Put an electric engine in it a la Ed Begley Jr. I think that's what I'm going to do.

I know, I know, we all dread the Mr. PotatoHeadification of these classic cars via swapping engines and things, but we must be selfless in our quest for financial prudence and environmental kindness.

When I was a kid, I greatly anticipated the comic book ads. One featured a set of instructions for creating a hovercraft with a simple vacuum engine.
I think I may put a few vacuum engines in MY 911. One for each wheel.
And maybe a big petrol powered chevy engine for energizing my electric powerplant.

Then some really killer Cadillac seats or something for the front with back massagers and everything.
I mean why not right? Technology rules, and newer Caddy seats *with Massagers!* are better than the superannuated mechanical Porsche seats I have in there now.

And in furthering my quest to right the wrongs of father time, I'm going to put on Saturn doors. The kind that are ding resistant--that way my new 911 will always be gorgeous and ding free.

There must be tons of other things that can be done in the name of Updating-my-Old-Porsche, and these are merely a few for the grand Americanization of all things Great and Small.
