For sale is my 1984 Porsche 944. I bought this car about 5 years ago primarily for Porsche Club performance driving events. When I bought it, the car was already set up by a local PCA member, with lowered suspension, soft compound Kumho tires, BBS wheels, 5 point harnesses, brake pads, and fixed racing seats. Just before I purchased the car, the engine was completely rebuilt at a cost of $5800 by a reputable builder. I have all the documentation. I added a MOMO wheel and new brake pads and took the car to some events.
The car drives great, shifts crisply, handles very tightly, brakes strong. Clutch is solid and smooth. It's a great track car, especially for novice drivers. It has enough power to make it challenging, but it's hard to get yourself in (too much) trouble. Even though it's currently set up for the track, it would also make a fun street car. Everything works - AC blows cold, Blaupunkt stereo, electric sunroof, electric antenna, rear wiper, etc. The former owners kept unbelievably meticulous records, and I have a file of all services going back to the original bill of sale from Northland Porsche+Audi in Cincinnati.
The car is mechanically excellent, but cosmetically fair. It's been a track car for a good portion of its life, and its got a few scars. The paint is fair, and there are numerous chips and blemishes. There is brake dust staining on the wheels and lower body. The hood struts are weak, there is some minor cracking of the dash above the instrument binnacle. The 944 emblem on the front bumper is long gone. The interior is clean, but well worn. Markings have worn off much of the switchgear.
The 944 is a lot of fun for reasonable money. The reality is that I've had two kids since the time I bought the car, and I have much less opportunity to use it. I feel it should go to someone else who would be willing to enjoy it.

GoPro checks out Tokyo's automotive night life in 4K
Thu, Nov 6 2014There's something bizarrely fascinating about Japanese car culture, especially around Tokyo. The metropolis packs people tightly together in a way that would seem to make owning any car tough. And yet, there's still enough enthusiasm around anything with an engine to support everything from wildly tuned bosozoku rides with exhaust pipes reaching toward the sky to seriously fast Porsche and Lamborghini models. To promote its latest Hero4 camera, GoPro has embarked on a short film series called Adventure of Life in 4K, and the latest installment goes inside Japan's speed scene with some gorgeous cinematography of vibrant vehicles rocketing through the city. It's all mixed over more serene images of Tokyo landscapes that combine to form a mini-documentary that's a feast for the eyes.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
