1995 993; 60k miles, manual transmission, midnight blue with a gray interior . In 2001 I bought it for a song, owing to the fact that the paint on the front clip had been shredded by gravel. I had a buddy with an auto repair shop who gave me a great deal on the re-spray. It was perfect, except that it ate brake rotors…

I had an SVX when they first came out. Dark maroon and fabulously weird. My wife hated it until we drove from Seattle to Vancouver. “This rides nice!” she said. I think they weren’t yet avialable in Canada because we drew a crowd everywhere we parked. There should be a word for that automotive phenomenon.
This guy is going to get all of us killed
I just bought a 5 speed 2007 Sky Red Line for a weekender drop top. The lack of any place to put anything in the car is absurd, but it's a hoot to drive with the 260 HP turbo. Many smiles per mile.
Volvo S60 R sedan. A fabulous car ruined by its terrible front splitters and completely useless back seats.
In college I had the German version of the Midget, a '69 Karman Ghia convertible. It taught me a valuable lesson: If a girl didn't like to ride with the top down (too windy, messed her hair, etc.) it was time to drop her like a hot rock.
Wrong demographic, but keep tryin', honey. See you at the pedi-spa.
Wow. Compensate much?
This. Absolutely. I picked up a silver 2000 last fall with 85k on the clock for $4500. It is The Perfect Weekender, in that it drives like a bat out of hell while giving around 30 MPG. It's a Japanese 914 on which everything works, with Corolla-sized repair bills should anything ever break.
Mark Twain once wrote that the coldest winter of his life was a summer in San Francisco.
Flame suit on: It was a 1995 Porsche 993; but it was my own fault.
“The tire is transparent?” Whoa.
How is this not now a real thing? It's incredibly awesome. For those of us not technically savvy, how did they do this?
