Titanium Silver with no stripes. I always wanted a Guardsman Blue with white stripes, so I thought I would just drive this one a few years and sell it and find a blue one. That was 2004 when I bought it and just never could let it go.

The "Bad Boys" movie final scene has been etched into my mind as the absolute perfect 2-car garage since It came out in 1995... Well I was 3yo, but I remember seeing the movie poster and then the movie a few years later and that final chase scene... I knew I had to have both of those cars at some point in my life! 1994 964 Turbo might be out of financial reach now that it has sold for $1.3 million (the original movie car)

I saw that movie back then but totally forgot about the chase scene with those two cars. Thanks for posting the video! Back when I was in high school I had about 10 car posters on my wall and they were all '65 Shelby Cobra 427s and mid-80s Porsche 911s. If everything goes well I'll have both at the same time come May. I don't think the 992 looks quite as awesome as a 930 with a whale tail, but I'll take what I can get!

When I had my 987 Cayman S, some guy at the gas station said to me "That car looks like a naked lady!".

The 930 Turbo with whale tail was my poster car. I am very close to having all my garage space back and I can start looking for a good example to buy. Have 3 kids at home at the same time for various reasons and with cars, so the garages are full.

Well I also had a Testerossa and Countach on the wall as well but for some reason don’t have a desire to actually bother looking into acquiring one of those.

At least someone didn’t ask if your roundie ‘02 was a Rambler
