1987 944 2.5L N/A. 145,000 miles.  This is the best running car i have ever owned. it doesn't leak a drop of anything. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to California and back. Actually I just did a 500 mile mountain run in it a couple weeks ago.  Not one hiccup.  And unlike most 944's this car has NEVER been rebuilt due to water pump/timing belt neglect. It has been serviced professionally by Jim Strutherland at JTS Motorsports since I have owned it and the owner before me had it serviced at Hendrick Porsche the entire time he owned it. Had it painted about a year ago. this car handles like a dream.  You wont find a better 944 out there.  only reason Im selling is Im looking for something RHD and RWD.  I'm willing to trade and can put cash on top. 

Good -

Tires on both wheels still have 90% life left in them.
Full Koni Suspention - $7k
Aftermarket Swaybars - $3k
Genuine Porsche Clutch - $3k - Has a little over 10k miles on it.

Momo Steering wheel - $350 -  original one goes with it too
All new steering parts, control arms, etc
full leather interior in great shape with some seat wear- EXTREMELY rare
Countless parts have been replaced around the car and under the hood with genuine Porsche parts.
i know there's more im forgetting.

Bad - 
No A/C. Put a main seal in it but it still leaks some. lasted about a month and a half when i charged it last summer.
Small bad place in drivers seat from getting in and out.
Rip in passenger seat where your butt sits.
rear seat has 2 small rips. see pics
cracks in dash.
the mount that holds the hazard light switch is broken. - $40 for the new piece from Porsche.  still has the switch and it still works fine, just a small crack.

i have 90% of the reciepts for the work done. ive lost a few but ill try and find them if you really want them. i will be more than happy to meet you somewhere to get an evaluation on it before you buy if you like.  

im not afraid of low ballers so go for it.  who knows i might just accept ur offer!

im also willing to trade for a RWD RHD car.  ill put up cash if its nice enough.

2015 Porsche Macan S

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.

Woman rushing to pub nearly causes head-on collision

Wed, Aug 17 2016

A woman in a rush to pick up her husband from a local pub caused this close call on a street in England this weekend. The near miss happened on Sunday on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England. A Porsche Cayenne driver attempted to overtake a blue Citroen on a blind curve but didn't see the white Skoda in oncoming traffic. Thanks to the Skoda driver's quick maneuvering on to the grassy shoulder the Cayenne only caused minor damage to the other two cars. Damian Hodgson is the owner of the dashboard camera who was behind the blue Citroen. After the close call Hodgson first stopped to check on the Skoda driver. Driver and car were okay, but a 10-year-old girl in the front seat was in tears. Hodgson then made his way down the road where the Porsche driver was speaking to the Citroen driver. He said the Porsche's driver gave some pretty lame reasons for putting so many people's lives in danger. "She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers - but it's no excuse to be overtaking on a blind bend," Hodgson told the Mirror. "She did tell me she always overtakes at that spot though." Hodgson picked up the dashcam after a crash while on vacation in Florida last month. He offered the footage to both the drivers of the Skoda and the Citroen, but both declined. Hodgson told the Mirror that he hopes some good comes from the incident. "If anything comes of this, it is hopefully that the lady Porsche driver has learned a lesson and she will not put others in danger again."

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes

Thu, Dec 11 2014

If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
