Up for Auction is a very nice 1990 Porsche S2 Cabriolet

Triple Black with 105,640 miles

3.0 liter 16 valve 4 cylinder, 5 speed

ABS, Driver and Passenger Airbags

Originally purchased at Len Stoler Porsche here in Baltimore in December of 1989.

Traded in 2000 with 50,000 miles and resold at Valley Motors Porsche.

I purchased the car from the second owner as a private sale in February of 2009 with 102,000 miles as a backup car for the family.

I had a full service and review performed at that time and the car was deemed in excellent condition with no prior body damage.

The front was repainted and disclosed by the dealer in 2000.

The car was garage kept by both owners and I have extensive documentation on the car (which I am rummaging through files looking for.)

The car passed the extensive Maryland inspection and emissions less than 4,000 miles ago in 2009.

The timing belt was changed at 92,000 miles.

I replaced all tires with Continentals in 2009 as well as a new top and replacement of the lower seat leather (getting stiff and stitching coming undone.)

I have kept the car fully serviced and have had some minor electrical work done (fix fog lights and rewire stereo which previous aftermarket unit was drawing on the system.)

Replaced the brakes in 2009.

Car is serviced at least 2x a year by my mechanic and is only used in good weather.

There is an Alpine head unit as shown in the pictures that has a USB input as well as Sirius receiver integrated and installed in the head unit.

I replaced the windshield and repainted the front end after a branch fell and dented the passenger fender and cracked the windshield. All body panels are, to the best of my knowledge, original to the car.

I did file an insurance claim at that time and will most likely show up in history. I have not checked to see.

Work was done to a very high standard.

Taken out of winter storage and driven 200 miles this past week.

The car drives strong and has a solid clutch. Shifts very well. No leaks.

I average 27-28 mpg in spirited driving

Oil pressure is excellent and the temp gauge never passes the 1st quarter of the range.

Air Conditioning works well

Power top is fully functional and the original fitted boot is in the trunk.

Cruise, Pwr Windows, Locks and Pwr Seat Height all work as they should.

Dash has no cracks and Lloyd mats are in excellent condition.

Only issues that I am aware of are the interior overhead light does not go on when the door is opened, the clock in the dash is broken (common problem), the struts for the trunk should be replaced as they are original and do not "pop up" when you press the electric release, which does work, however, the key works fine.

There is some minor curb rash on the wheels and a couple of minor dings.

This is a good driver quality car that has been very reliable and more practical than I every thought.

My kids are now at an age where they don't fit in the back and would rather not be seen with Mom and Dad anyway so we are going to spend more time running my 280SL.

If I could demand that a PPI inspection be done, I would, but I cannot. I do greatly encourage inspections.

Please ask questions, I will do my best to get back to you.

I will not answer questions about the reserve. Make me an offer if you like.

Car is sold AS-IS WHERE-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

I am located a little north of Baltimore, MD.

Shipping and pick up is the responsibility of buyer but I will do my very best to accommodate you.

Deposit of $500 is due with in 24 hours of auction end. Balance my be received before title and car are released.

Thanks for looking!

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best

Thu, Nov 27 2014

After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
