Loaded, If you are having second thoughts about the cab please tell me it's because you got the same email I got? The girl that crashed her Porsche cab into another car and then a toll booth at over 100 miles an hour...It was just down the road on the 241. Do you want to see why my wife will never get to sit in the drivers seat?

Anyway keep the cab. Just put a big blanket over her all week and she will be ready for the weekend. A quick run on the freeway will knock off every last speck of dust.

Cabs rule - 3 months after owning a coupe you'll be wishing for the cab back. Better option is to find a 2nd 911 and get a coupe.

Was that the toll booth they repaired using Toll Gate Booth Paste?

That wreck was sick and I saw the graphic photos then I immediately showed MOST of them to my 14 year old daughter who is getting her DL license.

Sad state of affairs.


One has to realize the dangers of speed and stupidity when combined its lethal.




BUT DARISC! Tacky yet funny at the same time

I love the cab but I live in Los Angeles where you can drive around with the top down almost year round.

I love the open air feeling of my Targa. The top really never goes on, except for DE's. If I was going to go into club racing, I'd get a coupe, but I like wind in the little bit of hair I have left.

Loaded, it appears to me that you are not happy with any porsche that you buy so maybe you should just stick with another brand. First it was the 928 and now the 911 why don't you try a 914, 924, 944 or a 968 so you can complain about those as well. I think some people just are not happy with anything at all. You would complain about being hung with a new rope as well!!!

Now now Brad, thats not very nice, we're all friends here. To be honest though, today in LA it was 80 something. I put the top down and drove around, it was incredible. Now I know why I opted for a Cab. I have my doubts on cold days, but every time the sun shines I'm glad I bought a cab. And to be honest, Porsche Cabs are the best cabs, they keep the shape of the car very well. Notable cars in which getting a cab ruins the shape of the car are.......PT Cruiser, Mini Cooper, VW Beetle, Nissan 350Z, Corvette, etc... I think porsche cabs are hot!
