This is a 1987 Porsche 944 base coupe with an automatic transmission.  I will attempt to describe everything as accurately as possible, but please, if you have any questions email me and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.  First things first, I have only owned the car about 3 weeks, it was a bit of a "garage" find if you will.  When I bought the vehicle it was not running, it would turn over but that was about it.  I have gone through most everything on the engine cleaning and replacing parts as I have come across them.  The following is what has been replaced, starter, distributor, plug wires, spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter, dme relay, vacumn hoses, speed and reference sensor, front sway bar bushings, and the AFM has been refurbished.  The good news is that all those parts have gotten the car running and back on the road again, unfortunately there still seems to be a slight problem with the idle, occasionally the rpms will drop and the car will shut off.  I have not had this happen while driving, only on initial start up before the car is warmed up, I have not had any issues once the car is warm.  The only other issue mechanically that I am aware of is there seems to be a very slight leak somewhere in the power steering system, it has to sit for a few days to actually notice a wet spot on the ground but if you look under the car you can see some fluid on and around the pump.  The car still drives and handles really well so it is probably just a seal somewhere or else it would not be working.  All other flaws to the car are cosmetic, it does not have perfect paint or a perfectly straight body, while there is no rust or major damage to the vehicle it does have dings, scratches, and paint chips that could be expected of a 26 year old vehicle.  I will try to get the best shots possible to show the areas I am talking about.  Don't get me wrong, this is still a great looking car and I still get many looks and compliments driving around town.  The interior is in pretty good shape with the exception of the drivers seat, the bottom of it will need to be replaced or reupholstered.  The dash has the normal crack in it and the odometer has quit working which is pretty common in this model vehicle.  The car does has an aftermarket head unit, power windows, power doorlocks, power sunroof, and power seat for the drivers side.  The sunroof is missing the latches that secure it to the drive mechanism, these can be found online fairly cheaply.  The tires on the car seem to be fairly new, they have lots of tread left on them. 

Again, I think I have described the car to the best of my ability, I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.  The car has been a blast to drive for the short period of time that I have owned it, please email with any questions. I do have the title in hand and ready to go.

This car is a used car, so it is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.  Please understand that you are not buying a perfect car,, the price is reflective of that, it still needs some work to be perfect.

I will do my best to accommodate whatever shipping company the buyer chooses to use, I will not be responsible for shipping this vehicle, that is up to you.

What's the deal with comedians and their cars?

Mon, May 22 2017

'Round about the time in his life when it should happen for all of us, Jerry Seinfeld's ship came in with a force that almost split the dock. He'd been doing pretty well with his observational style ("There's a cereal now that's just cookies. Have you seen this? Cookies for breakfast. It's called Cookie Crisp. Cookies for breakfast! They oughta just call it 'To Hell With Everything!'"). But he showed no signs of setting the world on fire until he got cast in a show that was either about – depending on the level of comedy geek you ask – the average New Yorker, the very worst people in the world, or nothing. Suddenly Jerry Seinfeld was pretty much the center of the comedy universe. And while his comedy was at once both brilliantly innovative and rooted in the mundane, his next move was a predictable grab at something exotic – he went out and bought his dream car. A rather nice 911, actually. As almost everyone knows, it didn't stop there, and the man put together one of the most enviable collections of iconic Porsches we're likely to see. So what's the connection, if there is one, between cars and comedy? As far as Jerry Seinfeld (the man) is concerned, he's probably not the same guy as the Jerry on Seinfeld (the show) although it's hard to say for sure; his public persona is almost unnervingly well managed. But cars and comedy were the constants in his life then, and, well, just look at what the guy does now; Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a cultural constant, and we're certainly seeing Seinfeld the man in that one, and cars are obviously still central to his life. And it's been that way with a lot of very, very good comedy guys. Cars seem to round out their lives, to become the yin to their comedy yang. Ernie Kovacs might not have invented visual gags or surreal humor, but he got them both to kill on television in the 1950s, so he's a comedy hero. He died behind the wheel of his beloved Corvair wagon, so he's absolutely some kind of car-guy hero as well. Bill Cosby, the hottest name in comedy for a good long while, had Ferraris, one of two fire-breathing supercharged big-block Cobras (pictured below), and a BMW 2002tii – none of which either contributed to or in any way make up for the profoundly sociopathic creature he turned out to be, but it's still a data point. The Smothers Brothers, who defied the networks and the norms by getting blatantly political before that sort of thing was cool, went sports car racing.

Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024

Fri, May 31 2024

As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
