Should I buy this car? (Warning, air-cooled 911 content)

Lol, then you will looooovve it! It does indeed have a tremendous heater! That car heated up very quick.

We also had trouble with it overheating in stop and go traffic, but a typical summer day here is almost 100 degrees, so you will not have that trouble either.

I am about as far south as you can get and still be in the US, Norway is a different world, climate-wise. A lot of my family is from Finland, and they were always happy when the summer fell on a weekend.

LOL that is so true. Where I live we don't have a summer you would even call spring.

You and I also have something in common, half my family is also finnish. Kippis!

An overdue update... I picked up the blue SC at the end of march and its a total blast. Runs great, drives great, and makes a whole lot of great noise. Subtle it is not, with headers and backdated exhaust. Enjoy the pics!

I love that color do you happen to know the name of it?

Its called Minerva Blue, Porsche code W9W9 for the coupes in the late 70's and early 80's.

Edit: I call the car "Minerva" due to the color.
