haven't you had the engine out over four years?

Clear view of the surrounding landscape.
Perfect for fall.

I let my buddy have a go in it the other day (it was his first time driving a Porsche). He couldn't believe how good the outward visibility is..."I can nearly see the crest on the hood", he said. He loved the dash layout and the seating position. Then as he drove, he said that he didn't undertsand all of the myths about the car being a handful to control. "Isn't this a Turbo?" he asked. I told him stop driving as if he had a car load of groceries and kids and step on it!!! He was completely shocked! He just couldn't comprehend the "Jeckyl and Hyde" personality that these cars posses. The sound of the open "zork" and the turbo whistle is what he loved the most. We took a forty-five mile trip on the interstate and he just couldn't get over how well it drove and how solid the ride was/is.
In the end, HE GOT IT!

I guess for some it is more about the journey than the destination... we'll see, won't we, Shifter!

46. Lost track of how many I owned. Have owned several turbos, a couple of twin turbos and a bunch of Carerras and SC's. My first Porsche I bought at 19 years old was a 74 911 with a 2.8 RS motor. Wish I never sold that car.......

Bought my first Porsche at 22, a '79 924. Sold it a few years later, sadly.
- - - far too many years driving "ordinary" cars - - -
Bought my second one a month ago, at 45, the '89 930.
What I don't get is that 23 years have gone by between those two purchases, but the second car's only 10 years newer... How'd THAT happen?

I'm 37. This is my third 911 turbo. Bought my first 930 at 28. I keep buying other sports cars and they may be faster, newer, ....but they just don't bring grins like the 930.
For me the 930 is the perfect combination of: beautiful but not bling, trackable but still streetable, classic but not yet ancient.

I think that WERK-I, Rudy911, OLLI, Fairman, Stratman, Trinana, others and myself should start our own Seniors 930 Forum. After all, if we can 'request' a new Turbo section on Pelican... why not use the same approach on Rennlist...
This way we can produce threads like... complain to each other about how our arthritis effects our shifting ability, or why we can read the damn gauges because the numbers are too small, or the times we blacked out from the insane G-forces of the recent mods....

Gino,
If it makes you feel any better, your car is still BY FAR my favorite color combo of all time!!! Your car with my Ruf wheels, and I would be in heaven!!!!

I'm 38 and have been going through the sports cars that I dreamed about growing up reading all the magazines in the 70's-90's. Porsche Carrera, a few 928's, Ferrari 512bb, 308GTS and 308 GT4, Detomaso Pantera, a couple of NSX's and currently a slightly enhanced 930. After 1 year I still have no intention to sell, which is a first for me. I still love the look, the crudeness and the power, yet somewhat reliable. I have had some fun cars, but they all had a deficiency. So far, the 930 covers all of my interests.
