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.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

Porsche calling in two Cayennes

Sun, Jan 4 2015

We regularly see recalls addressing all manner of problems (or potential problems) affecting any number of vehicles: hundreds, thousands, even millions. Some are too small to bother reporting, but once in a while one comes along that's so ridiculously small that we couldn't pass it over. Like this latest one from Porsche. "Due to a manufacturing error," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque." The recall affects the 2015 Cayenne... but just how many of them, you ask? Two. Not two hundred, not two thousand, but two: one Cayenne Diesel and one Cayenne S, manufactured between November 26 and... November 27, 2014. That very well might make this the most methodically German recall in the history of recalls. If you happen to be the owner of one of those two vehicles, expect to hear from Porsche with instructions to bring your Cayenne in to have the suspension re-aligned and the screws tightened. RECALL Subject : Front and Rear Alignment may be Incorrect Report Receipt Date: DEC 29, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V824000 Component(s): SUSPENSION Potential Number of Units Affected: 2 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured November 26, 2014, to November 27, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque. CONSEQUENCE: If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
