As Brooklyn resident in the market for a good 911 with bad paint, this caught my eye:

These cars look great with a bit of patina and character. It's great to see them on the roads and out of garages.

Great article.

rather drive a rusted POS porsche than a brand new Prius any day

The list of new cars that I'd rather drive than an old Porsche is short and extremely pricey.

Pretty sure he said that tongue-in-cheek. As one who travels the US too much, and has lived in other states, I'm always glad my return ticket says San Diego.

JK, I got that......otoh I'm too conservative for the atmosphere there....I tell folks the same about Az...too damn hot, you wouldn't like it.

Ed Hughes

There are lots of conservatives in Calif still, unfortunately less than half. Funny, while I'm from N. Calif originally, I lived in AZ from '85-91, and fell in love with San Diego then.

This is encouraging....so when the hunks of bondo start falling off of my car, it's going to look even better....cooler even.

Reiver

Hunks of bondo is a bodge not patina....I looked it up....

MillenniumFalcon

Hmmmm. Just you wait- someday, probably about the same time that mid year cars start to appreciate, old rotting bondo will also be cool.

Reiver

You might be right.....prob when Targa's become other than a beauticians car...

DOH !!

I was at a buddy's house yesterday who threw a rod on his late 70's 3.0 targa track rat - he is thinking of parting it out rather than fixing it - I mentioned now he could get a coupe

he said he had been thinking about a Cayman - well, I looked at him and said, I suppose that would be a natural move coming from a Targa

Any car that you must open a door to climb into, isn't a real sports car....
