BUT when I drove them back to back the 997.2 spoke to me. It pulled, it growled, it ate asphalt, it turned many heads, it turned on a rail...the 356 not so much.
I must miss the scent of burning oil and lackluster performance

A long way from video slots BUT observing how many can follow directions is great way to gauge overall IQ of said members and much more entertaining than the game itself

**OT but also have my eye on this auction - 1952 356 coupe in old/rusty condition but drives---> https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...ign=2019-04-27

I owned a beautiful 1953 356 Bent sunroof coupe 12 years ago which was all original Jade Green paint/tan leather interior. I still wish I'd never sold it - Really pains me - I would guess it would fetch over $225K today
My only photo - Sold it to guy in Denmark in 2007

Damn, I can’t believe you sold that 356, Groove. Beautiful. Someday I will get my 1965 356 C. Someday...

That rusted 1952 sold for $146K on BAT ---> My 53 sunroof would probably get $250-$275K in today's market
And I figure my 1959 Super sunroof would fetch $250K today - Sold that one 4 years ago but did pretty well close to $200K so no complaints

Damn, I’m jealous, you really had some incredible 356es. I love the look. The 356 is so damn special. My money isn’t long enough to own a well sorted one.

Here's my silver/black 1965 356C sunroof coupe back in 2000 - Had terrible experience with thief auto painter about 8 blocks form my house - Took car apart to do re-paint and basically kept my car hostage until I paid him +$3000
When I picked the car up there were extremely rare sunroof parts missing like the slider corners and a slider guide - Fortunately my mechanic/friend Denny Aker who's Porsche shop is close by had the spare parts and gave them to me.

Just over 2 hours and holding steady at $57,000.

Darn Groove, that guy was a thief. Was the paint job quality?
