Canoe necro-post, dredging old treads up back to the light of day.

On topic, belatedly: I don't like old Porsche 911s not for any practical/dynamic reason, or lack there of...

But rather because utterly dislike how they look. And the "glamour" that seems to surround them.

924/944 are fine in my book however.

My biggest attaction to early 911's is that they are a great platform for making badass race/track cars:

I don't know about any mystique, but I bought my 356SC in March of '75 for the princely sum of $600, and 36 years later I'm still driving it. In fact I drove it to California and back in February this year, 8600 miles in 30 days. Why, those nasty old bottom hinged pedals hardly even bother me anymore -- I've thought about getting a different sports car, maybe something really distinctive and totally awesome, like a Mustang, but I'm kinda used to this one now, I reckon it will just have to see me out.

Thank you! This was a greatly needed injection of levity into this otherwise somewhat stale no-win conversation...

Nice car too...
