Had a high school friend show up years later in a 944 turbo. He was about 24 yrs old and I thought he must be making a million bucks. That car was fast...fell in love again.

Moved to Florida a couple years ago and just really felt it was time for something cool! Bought a Speedster (replica) - gorgeous car with 2,000 miles on it...but in the end it was just a VW all dressed up. Sold it...sat for about a week and decided it was time to get a real porsche so my son and I would enjoy all this beautiful weather cruising around! Bought the Box back in March, have added decals, fabspeed exhaust, powder coated the wheels, and love the car. Still - someday I will have a 944 turbo and a 928!

Cool story and similar to mine. The 928 was my dream car for a long time. It was the 944 turbo that took it's place. I'm on my 2nd 944 turbo and loving it. I swear I'll never get rid of this car. It's not just the balance and handling of this car it's also how much power do you want... and balance and handling to make full use of it.
