Well yes but on sunny days...for that reason it doesn't get out much up here in seattle. The C4S is the primary car that is used, the rain is where it shines!

I've owned Porsches since 1974 (a 68 912) and at least 16 in total. All have been fun, only my 2001 986 had a motor self destruct, the rest were bullet proof. Total cars/trucks/SUVs so far, over 125.

So, bucket list, or diehard?
Bucket list for now...
If you start wearing Porsche apparel you may be on the die hard team...

My Porsche polo shirt has been worn once in 14 years. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it in public you may not be a die hard. Also if you have never posed with or in the car on social media...

Great, I pose with my kids in the boxster quite often. Guess I'm a diehard but I don't have a Porsche polo.

I bought a Porsche hat right away. My BMW hat felt wrong in the Boxster.

I have a Porsche hat (3 actually), a jacket and a t-shirt. I wear them only at PCA events, or when I'm driving my Boxster to cars & Coffee. Yep, I'm all in. To put it in perspective I own dozens of hats, since I have a clean shaven head, and I need a hat 99% of the time.

You're right, it must've been an '85. Memory is starting to go. At the time it wasn't even called "Samurai", it was called "SJ-410".
