Starts with a dream and then the dream comes to life and then u discover that there's hurdles to overcome but u don't give up cause things will change and get better but they don't and u learn to live with what life has served u and end up on a Forum like this one where u share your joy and pain and u realize your not alone
with this struggle and feel a little bit better about yourself and can't go to sleep unless u type a few lines and see if anybody is paying attention to your thoughts at 2 am and then someone just like u responds and u feel great.

Then u go to your garage and realize she has given u more pleasure than grief and remember that dream u had as a little fart and who do we have to thank for that.

I would love to see it!

PS-If the Porsche designers can generate the Carrera GT, they can do better on the 911.

I like that 928 a lot from the front shot, but then saw the back shot and thought they need till 2012 to release the crossfire????

I can only hope they are tweaking it back there.....

I for one hope the 911 stays as is (the lines I mean!)

I still get movement every time I see one

To me, Porsche should get those guys out of retirement.
I also like the looks, problem was that the market did not, after all the 928 was suppose to replace the 911. The only reason Porsche continues to only slightly tune the 911 design each year as that is what the people who buy them want, they didnt get so much cash in the bank by making bad decisions.

Oh god do I hate YouTube -- it's more often I see videos on there with the wrong aspect-ratio than not.

But I agree with you -- I bet most of us were Porsche fanatics already as kids. Although my toy-car back then was a 911, my dream car was actually the old Spider 550 (James Dean fan, of course). So when the Boxster hit the market, I thought it was their new flagship that I would never be able to afford. Thank god I was wrong.
