1996 Porsche 911 Carrera, Midnight Metallic Blue, 6 speed, 87,700 miles, 3.6L Vario-Ram engine, Sunroof

I’ll start by saying I originally bought this car with the goal of turning it into a lightweight 993RS. After careful thought and doing the math, it would be a mistake to not keep it stock. It’s just too nice as is. This car has 100% original paint, is 100% stock (aside from Alpine head unit) and is of course a 6-speed. That combination is rare enough. Even making it more rare is the fact that it doesn’t have the typical grey or all cashmere interior. It has the more desirable black/cashmere interior with black carpet and door panels. The two tone interior is sportier and much easier to keep clean.

The 3.6L engine runs strong and the clutch shifts perfectly. She does not smoke a bit at startup. A/C works perfectly. Never smoked in and does not show any sign of the CEL issue.

As you can see in the photos, the original paint shows very well. Like most 18 year old 993s, the paint is not perfect. There are the typical minor imperfections you get from driving on the road. However, this car compares favorably to others 993s with similar mileage.

I’m a PCA member who owns a total of four 911s currently and have owned many more over the years. I’m selling because I’ve decided not do the project and I currently have two 993s. I figure this one is easier to sell due to 100% stock. I’d be glad to answer questions.

Watch Finnish hoons drift a Porsche, a motorcycle and a snowmobile on ice

Tue, Feb 10 2015

We're figure the guys in Finland's Stunt Freaks Team see this video as three minutes of freewheeling snow drifting with a Triumph Daytona motorcycle on snow tires, a Porsche 911 GT3 rally car and a Polaris RMK snowmobile. We, however, like to think of it as a mini-documentary on the winter habits of bipedal Finnish mammals, who display a curious set of winter habits that fascinate us no matter how many times we see them. Admittedly, if we lived conveniently close to Rovaniemi, set smack-dab on the border of the Arctic Circle in Finland's Lapland, we'd do the same thing. The title says it all, save for there also being a side-by-side that was probably the camera car. It's missing the huge roostertails, but it's got a crash and a wheelie to make up for it.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.

Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
