New Porsche M491 Owner
I wanted to say thanks to all for the great info posted on this board. I have wanted a Porsche since I was 16 and have been researching my first purchase for the last two months. This board has been a valuable resource.
This is my first post, but I have been reading here for awhile. I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first Porsche two weeks ago, a 1986 M491 Targa, drove it 12 hours to it's new home in Chicago. Within 3 days installed a Steve Wong Chip and just installed the H4 headlights last night... I see this getting addictive. My wife and I like it so much we're ready to pull the trigger on a M491 Cab, because she wants her own!!! Anyway thanks to all for the great info here.

Wow Mike, you weren't kidding about getting pulled over on your way home! Car looks good though (but now that you've made it home w/o scratches, relocate the bra to the garbage can before it makes a mess!)...congrats!

It was funny, once he saw the bill of sale & title, he was enthralled with the car, said he's never seen one and was trying to figure out where the engine was located.
