Damn sick of the wagon and sick of not having my car to drive. If I could get it at the right price and a trade in of the wagon I'd buy it.

I need my car back

What's the current beater? I know that at least for me I couldn't stand to daily drive that. It's a Porsche and has the name, looks pretty good, but I couldn't drive it knowing it's about as fast as a Honda and doesn't get anywhere near the mileage. I know I come off as an ******* but I'm not trying to be. One of my good friends has an 87 Carrera, even with just like 220hp, it's a freaking blast to drive, I just don't get the same feeling from a 944.

hahahaha.. the 944 only has 150 hp but it handles well. I have an 86 Chevy Caprice Station wagon that has served me well for $500 but I'm sick of driving it. When I get the Camaro back It will be a whole new paint job. I'm not going to want to drive it on bad days anymore and the wagon is asphyxiating me when I drive it. The Porsche would at least be better than driving a honda or toyota. Even if it was slow.

You can always drop a V8 in it later. The 948s? are nice road race cars....

The trans is attached to the rearend, so, limited slip diff.

How long will it be before your car is done, a month?

**** I hope not another month. Sam called to say they'd be done painting in a couple days .. where are the parts? - UMI had a backlog of k members to get out when I ordered, its supposed to ship this week so we'll see. Hopefully I have my car in 2 weeks. But even still I need to upgrade the beater, I almost ran a red light tonight cause you cant hit the brake qwuick in the wagon, they fight back if you push them to hard..lol
What porsche was in that movie then? 928?

I might be able to look tomorrow.

The guys there are "generally" honest. I bought an S10 there a few years ago and they were very up front - spun bearing. I paid the right price.

I thought 944's were the turbo cars.

924's were not.

928 is the rebecca demornay car and a V8.

I think a 968 is a turbo 944, and the other is just the 944. Like the 996 is a turbo 911.

You could get 944's with or without turbos depedning on the year. The 924 was the cheap-*** version of the 944........never seen a decent one.

Ahh, I stand corrected on the 944.

My neighbor has a 924. It's in pretty good shape, always been garaged. But it's still a 924. Might as well have a 914.

I did some research, you can get the 968 with or without turbo, just like the 944 and alot of the other hundreds of porsche variants.

914.

VW's with 2 seats.

My sister had one back in the late 80's/early 90's......cornered great but sounded like a flipping Bug.

Correct, and you could get a 968 in a cabriolet (convertible) as well. But all 924s were slow n/a cars.


And a 996 is just a 4th gen 911, like the 993 is a 3rd gen.
