Yeah I know Manning, but back then they were a bit different, and what people think of as a 911 is more a 70's, and in the 80's they updated and added the whale tail and all.

I thought about saying 60's but then I'd have other people beat on me. Really I couldn't win using that simile <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I think the duck tail, tea tray and whale tail were all in the '70s, which actually reinforces your argument.

But the first few years they were so clean and elegant...

My wife and I took the 951 out last night, and she says she likes how it looks better than our 928 did when it was stock...

The day I need to justify my car to a 12 year old is the day I buy a Focus.

Well Rich, I mean that all the curvatures that actually "make" the design of our cars can very seldom be transcribed on a pic ...

The pic of my avatar is good because it is an in-motion shot

If I did my math right, he missed the 80’s buy a year or so. So how would he know what an 80’s car looks like? Me being a child of the 80’s (ALL 4 years) I would think an 80’s looking car would be boxy like a K car or the Benz SL 560 I think the Porsche’s are the least 80’s looking cars out there that have held up over the years,and as a high school kids the most of the girls share the same feelings we do on this board “If you get my drift” on how these cars look.

Take him for a drive in it, and let him see all the lovely ladies ewing and ahhing over it; such a precious baby! What is it? Etc.

I think his hormones should kick in a little bit, and then he'll be dying to do chores for you, to let him eventually drive it for Graduation Night!
