I purchased this car in Dec last year for my wife.  She passed away in January never getting to drive the car.  I have driven it from Arkansas (where I bought it) to Stuart, Florida and to Sarasota, Florida where it resides now.  I drive it daily around town to work and back.  It is a great car and very nimble.  

The reason I purchased the car was due to the fact that it was doctor owned and had been for some 6 years.  He had had the engine rebuilt in 2011 and basically replaced almost everything including Porsche motor mounts and then only put another 3000 miles on it.  It was still breaking in when I drove it down to FLA.   Not being a mechanic I wanted to make sure the car was going to be reliable.  Because everything that seems to be a problem with the 1987 Porsche 944 S had been replaced or repaired it was a no brainer.  Even the AC compressor is new with the new type of 134A refrigerant oil. The transmission works great and was not worked on.  the shocks and struts are about 4 years old.  I was impressed how smooth it drove on the highway.  The tires look great and have lots of tread.  The car drives great and was a pleasure to drive down from Arkansas to Florida.  It had a sweet spot at 92 mph.  The car starts right up every time when cold.  It goes right to 900 RPM and the oil pressure starts off at 5 dropping gradually.  I have included picks of the dash at cold startup and then when warm.   The car had 151, 100 miles when I picked it up and had the engine rebuilt at 148000 miles. The odometer stopped working about 800 miles into the trip at 151, 935 where it reads now.  When you push the trip reset button it moves but doesn't catch.  I haven't gotten under there yet to look to see if something came loose but I will.  
The inside looks very nice.  There is one crack at the top of the dash up and behind the steering wheel.  It is hard to see unless you look down through the windshield.  There are little cracks at the defroster vents but again not easy to see unless you are looking for them.  Everything works well including the interior cabin light.  The seller had nice seat covers on the front seats and I have left them.  There is  fraying on the driver side seat where you hit it when you get in but it would be very easy to sew it up.  The seats are the cloth which say Porsche Porsche Porsche on the diagonal.   The driver's seat has electric controls on the left side for height and other adjustments. The rear seats are in good shape.  The dash and center console are in good shape.  The doors are in good shape.  Both windows work well up and down.  The right mirror does not work with the switch but the left one does.  Headlights pop up nicely and work as designed.  The paint looks to original and has been waxed and buffed.  It is not flawless but overall great for a 26 year old car.  There are some dings and scratches that would come out pretty easily.  The sun roof can be raised in the back electronically or taken completely out.  It does not slide back into the roof like many other cars. 
There is a crack in the front windshield but I have a new windshield to replace it.   The catalytic converter has gone and rattles but I have a new Cat. converter to replace it.  I have other odds and ends as well that will go with the car.  If you are interested contact me so I can call you and go over everything with you.
  As the car is being sold as is please arrange to have it looked at prior to bidding or come and drive the car yourself.  I am driving it daily so I can meet you within a reasonable distance.  This is a great car and lots of fun to drive.  There is lots more specific info so if you have a serious interest lets talk.  
$500 deposit due within 24 hours.  Balance of payment due within 4 days.

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.

Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste

Sun, Feb 25 2018

Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
