Default 968's get no love

There is thread on off topic forum that should include our beloved 968. Please post and ask them to add our model to the poll.
Also, don't forget to post your car's current condition once they have it added.
I guess lets ask them to add it 1st and then worry about voting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Looks like the 968 falls into "other P-Car"

I know, even Porsche owners forget that there was ever a 968. We are always the forgotten ones. The car is unbelievable and looks great, not sure why it wasn't popular.

Right car, wrong time. Hard to believe they chose the Boxster over the 968.

I'm thinking its just because they always assume our 968's are running. How many junked 968's have you seen?

Someone posted the other day that 88% of all 928s were still on the road, the other 12% actually made it home... I like 928's and own one and its quite reliable, but I still had to laugh.

My dad owned a 928 for about 15 years, and it was only running right for about 10 months. He also owned a 964 that leaked oil badly for 100% of his ownership. Even mom's 944 has had it's fussy moments. It would seem Porsches are inherently not renown for their reliability, so maybe 968s are the odd man out, so to speak.

Think 968's are just rare & therefore often overlooked. Porsche's best kept secret.
