4yrs / 20k in my 930 was bed-post fodder... had to be done, bucketlist

my 993 is a better 'car', and better to 'drive' (car / drive being used and defined in the 'appliance' sense)

my 930 was innnnfinnnnnitely more exhilharating... intimately involving... soul altering

I enjoy commuting in my 993, notsomuch in my 930 (I did regardless, was cushy compared to the TR3 commutes).

I miss shooting flames, the Hammer of Thor donkeypunch boost, the whistle whine whir of the ingestive process, the decelerative anarchy of my 930.

The 993 is a well educated professional business women, svelt, mature... well poised and seductive. You could griningly tap that all day for years on end and be no luckier.

The 930 is the redheaded tequilla slamming firecracker sexpistol where you wake up the next morning, your wallet's gone and you can't figure out what's been jammed 'where'...all the while you're paradoxically left wanting more.

My wife surprisingly didn't complain much about the 930, other than I smelled like 'car' when I walked into house, and that I hurt her neck or jammed her hair clip into her noggin when I hit the boost bong too hard.

The 930 HVAC is actually thermostatically controlled in the later cars, but it is still teh suxor - I yanked my A/C stem to stern and the heat was an all/nothing affair due to parsnickety system issues. Didn't matter, after one sells their soul to that Boostdevil one stops noticing things. For better / worse 8-). My 993 air will chill a witch's tit.

I think what's her face prefers time in the 993 overall but isn't very vocal either way. Tellingly... she's actually driven the 993 1x thus far (in a parking lot)... never (evereverevereverever) was the 930 even an option in that regard - incomprehensible, not happening, uh uh forget it.

Tell us your expectations / goals and we can tell you more. Agreed a 3.2 Carrera to 993 comparo is more accurate - a 930 is an entirely different league car in many regards...


ps. "930s are cheap / disposable" ROFLMAO... ummmmmm... no 8-). And the 4gang was somewhat endearing in a twisted sense - something about only 4 lonnnnnnnnng (infinite) gears and their match to the boost curve was just giggle inducing - 135 in 3rd??? Bulletproof, tho crippled w/ recalcitrant shifter....
