    I fell in love in 1969. It was the air cooled melody from that flat six... for starters. Then came the McQueen movie Le Mans. In 1970 I was 15 and wanted to tour the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen on a summer vacation with my mom and sister. Standing outside the cyclone fence behind the factory we were staring at all the new 911’s and 914’s, but the factory was closed for their vacation. A groundskeeper saw us and asked if we wanted a closer look. A moment later we were in! Posing with and photographing our favorite picks. Will never forget that moment. Jay, thanks for showing this beautiful Sepia brown T. There is nothing else like it. I still enjoy the old 911’s the most today even though my ‘95 993 is the distillation of all air cooled Porsche.

    I once found a Jaguar XKE in a garage under a Miami Beach condo. The price was cheap, but the car hadn't been started in years, and the salt air (the beach was less than 100 meter away) had caused the brakes to rust up tight. I borrowed a flat bed tow truck to pick up the car, but couldn't get the truck into the garage (the car was parked in a community garage). Luckily the truck had lots of cable, chains, and pullies, and I was able to drag the car out with all four wheels locked up. Surprisingly, the body wasn't as rusty as the brakes. I had planned to restore the car and hopefully drive it, but before I even made it home with the Jag, someone offered me a fair amount of money for it (it wasn't Jay). I made $3k for simply dragging the car of the garage and attempting to go home.

It was not in good shape and needed lots of work, but I wish we kept it and resurrected it ourselves. It looked just like this.

I'd rather have this than a new 911. I know that may sound crazy... but for anyone that has ever driven a 911 G car, there's nothing like 'em. Taking off, shifting the gears, hearing the sound that only these cars make and even the old 4 speeds were fun to drive. These cars are amazing.

    I learned to drive in a VW beetle; and as my sister loved VW beetles I drove a lot of them.
    Eons later I bought a used silver 1977 Porsche Targa. It looked very cool and got lots of comments of envy. Big surprise was it felt exactly like driving a VW beetle, just more power. From the driver’s seat you can’t see how cool the Targa looks; but, you can discern that the seat, the steering wheel, the gear shift, and the instrument cluster all felt and looked just like all the VW beetles I’d driven. Huge difference between the Porsche and the VW was cost of repairs. Even minor items, like sun visors, were ridiculously overpriced. Because of the costs I wouldn’t have another Porsche if someone offered to give me one. Sorry Porsche lovers, just my personal thoughts.
