Even in 1948 that must have seemed like a bad idea, I'm surprised no one said "hold up there Ferdinand....let's rethink this one".
Bottom line, for 911 money (a wide range) I can think of several other cars I'd purchase.
...but that's just me.

I have to agree here. There is just something about the convertible 911 that just looks off on the 997 and 996 models, especially with the top up. I guess the side view just isn't that impressive looking, maybe it is because there is no catchy looking air vents. The only real reason I would get a 911 is if I still wanted a Porsche and I need more then 2 people in the car with me, so I guess a little one in the back seat.
Another thing I have noticed is that a lot of the people I see driving 911's are older gentlemen who drive the speed limit in the slow lane with the windows rolled up and the AC on. It never looks like they are having much fun in it. Never once have I seen a 911 pass me in any car I have driven. I don't know about you guys but I drive the hell out of my 987 with the stereo blasting and the rpm's up.
