So many toys so little time.

Ain't that the truth.

Ok, not to burst anyones "bubble" but.....keeping anything in a bubble is not good....as things degrade....oil, seals rubber, leather, etc...they release gases....without getting too technical...these gases degrade paint...and accelerate degredation of the items they are trying to preserve....the real enemy is moisture..if you keep it minimized...thats great...but if you trap it along with hydrocarbons...well, thats bad....

Drive...Please drive.....

I couldnt agree more. If anyone thinks this car or ANY car for that matter are "investments", well then a fool and is money are soon parted. Dear God, do the math, realize its foolish, then drive the **** out of the car.

To a point. I don't think I (or someone else out there with similar) get squat interest in a C4S with high miles (mine, 116K), but did have nearly every option checked off. Someone paid goofy money initially for the car I now have.

The air is constantly circulated and it keeps the car free from dust, mice and spiders. I have read both pros and cons to these things and nothing I have read has lead me to worry about using it. I know of someone who purchased 3 79 turbos back in 1979. Had 2 of them sealed in plastic bubbles filled with an inert gas. After ten years he opened them and they were like new, new car smell, excellent condition, no signs of dried or cracked seals etc. He had the fluids changed and they started right up and ran like new cars. Oxygen and UV have a lot to do with the problems you are talking about.

It is winter with nasty weather. I have 3 other Porsche's to chose from. My car is not driven often but when it is it is driven hard. It gets it's legs stretched enough and every mile is a smile. I agree these cars need to be driven but you can preserve and enjoy them. I see no reason to drive it for just drivings sake. I have a 964 C2 and 928GTS for that.

What color interior was on the 94 S in the video. Is this NJ or some place else? Although the flachbaus are nice they really have become a collectors museum piece and I prefer to have my car with some bolt on mods producing 50+ more HP and considerably more torque than the flachbau. Although I don't drive my car often it is not as much of a concern to those who own true flachbau's.

Good point, if the air is circulated or inert gas is used then no worries...IMO I would drive them, but that's me...

I have detailed most of Steve's collection, and I can tell you the cars are perfect. There are pics here:

Stephen,

Is that your 968 or Damian's? I thought he had the only yellow black cab?

PM sent.

That one is mine!

Wow 2 in this area. It really is one of the best color combos for the 968 cab.

Are you asking about the black car in the video I linked to? It is black on black. The car is here in Salt Lake City.

I've never quite understood the idea of collecting cars that you don't drive. It seems paradoxical, like buying a television set that you never watch, or going to a fancy restaurant and ordering an expensive dinner that you'll just sit and stare at without eating.

But to each is own. Obviously, some people find great value in this.
