Along w/ my Boxsters, I have a '99 996, black w/ Boxster Red interior and full factory Aero kit. It runs like a scalded ape, but it's just a big Boxster. No 911 snobbery here!  |
I bought a 1970 911E in the mid 80's for $4000. Drove it for about 8 years before I sold it for a song. Today it would be worth, well, a lot more than I got for it back then. Wish I still had it. Not to sell, but to drive. It was a kick. Nothing sounds like that air-cooled flat six in full scream. And, in my opinion, those early 911s just had style. They look great in a way the later 911's just don't. Back then, they were the poor-man's Porsche. If you had money, you bought one of the newer 911s. When I sold mine, one guy answered my ad. One. He bought it.
The thing is, these Boxsters outperform it in just about every way. Particularly inside the cabin. Ever drive with a cabin full of smoke from oil dripping on a heat exchanger? I have.
