You're looking at a 1987 Porsche 924S, with a 2.5L four cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, 135,xxx miles on the odometer and lots of love left to give to a capable, mature driver.

Without being a museum piece, this is an impressively nice example of a sports car from one of the world's premier builders of the breed. The car is in solid mechanical condition; these cars are often available cheaply, in need of either timing belt or clutch service. This car had the timing belt replaced at 117,xxx miles and the clutch replaced at 133,xxx miles. The power windows and rare Saratoga glass top open and close smoothly, the rear hatch opens up all on it's own, and the engine pulls smoothly past 6K, where you'll realize that a "driver's car" doesn't need 8 cylinders or forced induction to deliver the satisfaction, balance and dynamic response of a well balanced, low-slung coupe.

Take note: this car is 26 years old, is not in showroom condition. In the interest of honesty, here are all the issues and problems with the car that I can think of mentioning.
-The nose of the vehicle has some paint chips, accumulated over it's mileage. No evidence of a wreck or crash, but I've included a picture for reference.
-The passenger side door makes a small clicking sound audible over bumps and pavement imperfections. This goes away when the window is adjusted up and down.
-The trunk carpet has some wear in the middle, but is not torn. One of the insulating pads under the carpet flaps that cover the tool chubby behind the rear fenders are missing.
-The brakes, while exceptionally strong with about 50% pad life remaining, have some glazing and can be felt pulsing gently under light braking. This does NOT prevent the brakes from working, but it is noticeable to the discerning driver.
-The dash pad has 5 noticeable cracks in it, none wider than 1/8" but present. Again, a picture is included to show this.
-The A/C blows cool, but not cold. If this is an issue that prevents the car from being sold, I'll have it serviced and re-list the car.
-The front seats have splits on both sides of the center piece of cloth, but the foam and the cloth itself is in great shape otherwise.

Serious parties and interested persons should feel free to ask me any questions. Thank you!

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4

Thu, Apr 7 2016

On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.
