My mechanic fixes all Porsches, vintage and new. There are two things I'm guaranteed to see in my mechanic's shop:

1- Old tires stacked in the back.
2- A 944 in for repairs.


If I were looking for daily driver that would get to the track once in a blue moon, I'd get an S2000.
Drives like an Accord in-town. Runs like a sports car when you have the hard hat on. No Porsche part bills. Lots of modern road car safety.
I don't think you can beat all those factors. When I'm on public roads every day, I like modern safety.

I loved my 944, it was expensive to maintain but fun to drive. If you can find a good one that has been well maintained then go for it. If you by a $4K to $5K car expect to put loads into it.

PS It just happens that tonight I was going through some of my stuff and found a copy of my 924/944 special tuning book. If anyone out there that owns a 944 would like it send me a PM and I will send it to you for the cost of postage
