Rash?
I bought my first Porsche in Feb or Mar, I now own four and look for more every night. I am beyond rash. It's becoming a question of acreage.

Yes I was there. I walked on the 911 side briefly. http://innovative-pos.com/porsche911.html
I didnt fit. I could not work the pedals, My feet were too wide. My head hit the roof. The 3-4 times I did drive it, It did feel like dads old farmall, now that you mention it.
and when I started to talk about learning to drive it.. there was a lot of talk about "planting" the back end and doing this and that to keep the car in the corner. whats that about? I bet it has something to do with the fact the the engine is in the wrong end of the car.
I think when they designed that car. it was simply a mistake that the seat guy put the seats in backwards.. and the rest of the line just followed his lead.

My son-in-law with his 993TT, and I with my 93 GTS 5-spd would go on all the PCA tours. We would often swap cars for part or all of the day. I could do things in the TT that I can't do in the GTS, but not many. BUT, at the end of the day whoever was driving the TT was beat and ready for a good night's sleep. The GTS driver was ready to go another 10 rounds. They are both great cars for very different reasons. I'll keep my GTS!!!!!

There is a typo in your sig. Your Baby Shark is a 968, not a Boxster.
The Euro SC is a perfect candidate for a track car. If it is a non-sunroof coupe I'll be happy to talk to you about taking it off your hands when you are ready.
