I do not have a copy of the pictures, but on Sunday I was backing out in the 911, and these two kids on an electric scooter were riding down the street maybe 12 and 8 yo boys. I wait for them to go by and they whip around to look at 911. The older one is pointing at the car and telling the younger one all about it, never saw one in real life, has little brother stand in front of the car so he can take a picture, then they trade spots. He about lost his mind when he found out I had a 914 too.

It was pretty cool to see a kid that excited about a car.

^I've got to chime in on the younger generation.
When I drive my SC, it's a smart phone fest. You would think I was driving a Lamborghini or something. High fives, thumbs ups, smiles.

(I've learnt to not pick my nose in the 911- as I am on DISPLAY!!!!!)

Huge freakin' smiles!

It was something I never wanted (the attention), but, I'm not going to be a D#$% about it. They are having fun, and it's fun to share that kind of experience if it means that much to them. For me, it's just another 911. For me, it's 1985, and VW bugs, VW vans, and p-cars are all over the place like cockroaches. In the background are Grand Nationale's Hondas, Camaros, 5 Liter mustangs, Feiros, british cars, etc...etc... A special car would be a Ferrari, or even a Delorian, but not the pedestrian 911....

It's 1985 24hour a day/ 7 days a weeks. \


dang pic didn't upload... sorry

Personally, THIS was a darn good car from the 80s: (although I don't know who's driving it!)

Its always cool when I see kids point and see their lips say Porsche! And their parents just look around like oh is that cool The 911 actually gets the least attention of all my cars thats ok! Probably because its black. If I ever do a color change it'll be Minerva Blue

Need your yacht repaired? Take it out of the water, seal it with climate controlled plastic cover, easy-peasy. $$$!

Byron, the wheels on the BMX you posted above reminded me of the Rokon's wheels.
