How many are enough??? post your pics

A little over a year ago I bought my first 911 . Picked up my third 2 days ago . This is getting crazy. I ran out to get a Wur for my blue coupe and ended up buying an 88 3.2 while I was there.

My friends, neighbors and coworkers are starting to think I may have a little problem. I'm inclined to agree. My driveways getting a bit crowded.

How many impulse buy cars do you have ? Whats your story? Im just an enthusiast and I love all 3 but one will be going come spring. Guess im just trying to end up with the perfect car.

I put allot of work into the Targa and the Blue coupe. Just starting to get into the carrera ...

And who said Porsche owners weren't quick?

You must be single or will be soon.

Keep up the good work.

You wont be disappointed. The 88 that I just picked up is a pleasure to drive. Very smooth and solid car with just 61,000 miles. Huge difference imo from the 3.0 and 915 combo.

Not enough

I started with the '71, then I got the '79 930, then I went for the '73 RSR, later I got the '80 IROC. Now I have to keep them in a warehouse nearby to keep my wife happy, it also means more space for housing strays. I can't help myself, I'm right now actively searching for a blue '74 that I NEED!!

Sadly I have only 1 Porsche, and I love it, but i'm always looking for deals for a second car. I'd love to have a Magnus Walker sized collection of Pcars one day, but I don't have the means to support that daydream. And I don't really need a second 911, the one I have is great, its really almost exactly what I want. Its fast, light and nimble. So i'm not sure if looking for a another deal on a Porsche is a good idea or just a time waster for me. I got into the 911 style mostly dreaming about 73 Carrera RS replicas, maybe it woudl be fun to have one of those. I was also thinking maybe I should get a cheap 944 or 928 for a track car that is not as valuable as my 911. Oh well, who knows what will happen but it's all fun dreaming either way.
