MY NEW TOY






I have wanted a Porsche since I was a kid. In 1998 they eliminated the classic air cooled engine and went to water cooled. I was not happy. It was almost as traumatic as when the Dodgers left Brooklyn. Well, I vowed that someday I would have one of the "originals". Now I do. It took me years to find the one that measured up, and one that I could also afford; well, sort of afford.

I found my 1998 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet in Southern California. I had a fantastic mechanic, Marco of TLG Porsche Service in North Hollywood, check it out. Then I used Horseless Carriage Car Transport to get it here. They are by far the best in the business. Now it's in my garage!!

The air cooled Carrera goes by a few names. Technically its model is 993, but it is usually referred to as a 911 or C2. Whatever you call it, it is one Helluva machine.
