My '86 cab is my daily driver - What else? Of course, if you live in So. Cal, this is easy to do. When my porsche is in the shop I ride a 1996 Kawasaki ZX9R Ninja. It makes my porshe feel slow
(see postings for Car vs bike on Rennlist).
97 Rangerover (wifes)
97 BMW 328is (wifes) for sale
2000 Landrover Discovery II (mine)
86 911 no time to drive!! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
When you're a contractor (like me) you gotta have a pickup: currently a '98 F150 Supercab
AND a car for the lovely wife: '98 Boxster
AND something for tailgatinga dn hauling folks to the airport: '91 GMC Conversion van w/293k miles
AND a Porsche to run hard and enjoy: '81 SC Targa
1996 Volvo 850 GLT SportWagon (commuting and carrying 'stuff') - the V-Car - soon to be replaced by something new
2000 BMW 528i (wife's) - the B-Car
1985 911 Targa - the P-Car
for the commute 83 gti rabbit bought new.Koni's ,15 inch rims,yokos,engine stuff a blast to drive but my dream car is 87 targa white stock. PS I was the one to post the topic how old are you and your car.
My wife (and newly-licenced daughter) drive a '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I drive when absolutely necessary.
My winter and short-haul vehicle is a '97 Integra coupe. It's stock despite my 15 year old son's ambitions (How about a cat-back, Dad? Can we lower it just a bit? New alloys would look great! etc. etc.)
The '82SC Targa gets out whenever I can manage it.
Incidentally, the Acura is kind of my "check-ride" and instructional vehicle; I believe great things should be shared by those near and dear, so my family members know that they, too, can drive the 911..........once they have learned to double-clutch in the Integra to my satisfaction, and have passed the "911 road test" with me in the passenger seat.
My daily driver is a black on black '96 Saab 900se turbo. Fun to drive for a hatch back. My wife has a Black '99 Saab 9-5 se. Nice to drive on trips and when tired (automatic). We didn't intend to have two black Saabs, but we got a great on the 9-5! My Ice Green Metallic '75 911s is in my garage sans engine/transmission while I get it ready for this Auto-x season!
Please to see that so many of us are as passionate about the "other rides" as we are about the 911s. I wish the commute-thing allowed me to use the 84 Carrera every day like the prior owner who racked-up 200,190 miles.
My "beater" for 5 years was a 83 944, Bought for $4000, driven 60,000 miles and sold for $3700, not bad at all...
Pleased to chat about lifestyle stuff and more pleased that I do not have to post a tech question, (Nothing is Broken....) Up-Fixen is another story...
