My first 993 was a 95 C4 - I still miss that car. Sometimes I think of the possibility of tracking it down via it's VIN number and trying to buy it back but I'm sure it's probably got over 100,000 miles on it by now. I wonder if anyone on here has it?

Thanks for posting the article.

Ok,
After reading those articles and going thru a nasty winter in nyc, I want a 95 C4. Anyone have one for sale? Any color but red and dark blue. After owning 14 Porsches maybe its time to try one.

Thing is, I'm not sure how many of you here look at a 993 as a use-til-end-of-its-useful-life car. This winter is taking its toll on my car, no question about it. But what was it worth as of 4 months ago, $25K? Some of you here have seen it, feel free to comment on its condition. I've pushed it over the cliff now, and its ultimate disposition will be as a track rat or an insurance payout. I don't think anyone else here has that attitude toward his car.

Driving in to work today in a torrential down pour (in my 993 C4) was a blast - and sort of a badge of honor.

It has been my daily driver for almost 5 years. I plan to be that old guy with an old 911 with 800,000 miles on it (with X number of engine rebuilds and X number of re-shoots).

I also plan on working in a few other 911s along the way (I already had a '73 911E).

Amen. Coming up on seven years for me.
