I was 19 when I traded my Isuzu Trooper for my '83 944 while living in Crested Butte, CO back in '95. My buddies thought I was crazy to trade a good mountain vehicle for a sports car in the middle of the winter. I didn't care, I had lusted for a 944 since I was in gradeschool. The car turned out to be great in the snow driving in the harsh winter we had the year once I put a good set of snow tires on it. Great memories and the car never let me down. I still have the car and while I do maintain it religiously, I always drive it hard and have probably used it for every possible use out there.
