Need to explain to your friends or family why an air-cooled Porsche 911 is the most reasonable choice for your next car, but only have five minutes to do so?
Lucky for you, we have a video for that–and you’ll have a few minutes to spare.

I wish, but really just want the engine for the 914.

Reason #1 hype :)

LOL. The problem isn't convincing me that I want a 911--I've wanted a 911 since before I could legally drive. The problem is having the disposable cash with which to buy one.

I just want a 912. I'm a simple man.

Have you seen the prices for 912s? Even the previously 912E is now pushing 35-40K range.
I've personally given up on owning an aircooled 911......the bottom end seems to be 40K; I can afford it but not without giving up one or two of the other cars.

In the burgundy ducktail 911, what is the knob just below and left of the clock?

I don't need any reasons.

I once considered buying a black '88 coupe that was for sale here in town around 2007 or 2008. But I decided to put an LS1 into an MGB instead as I figured it would be less expensive - I think the 911 was about $20k.
Follow me for more investment advice.

Yup, I think we've all done it. I passed on a Targa for 9K and did the D-sports Racer instead.

I loved my 964, but there came a point that the market loved it more. Someone offered $65k, and I couldn't pass it up. Miss it sometimes, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had an empty driveway and 65k burning a hole in my pocket.
