What are your top three and why?

I owned the C2S for a year and Sold it to my friend who put it away. Had to buy it back, missed it too much.

Every model drove differently, like the stages of my life.
I loved the 930s most. I loved the turbo lag.

others I forgot
964 Carrerra4;red/black
911 coupe; anniversary silver w matching interior.
993 C4S;Black/black

My six were consecutive, not concurrent. The 71 Targe skewed the progression because I had it 25 years. So I've owned Porsches 42 years and counting.

Note that you went straight to the front engined, 4 cylinders after the 356s..............

Missing that Convertible D? No, not purely from the financial side.

Not sure I believe you. Please post many photos (or oil paintings for the earlier ones) as proof.

I think it is great you've had so many you forgot a few.
