Following is a photo of my 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6. I bought this car new, in Hermosa Beach, Ca, a little over 20 years ago. Fortunately, I had the sense not to sell it, as I have done with some of my guns, and then, lived to regret it. Porsche only made about 1,425 of these cars worldwide. There are less than 500 of them in the U.S. :

I sold my '88 Turbo a few years ago. I also sold a Westley Richards 450/400 that was made in 1908 and went to Calcutta to Lyon & Lyon to be used by a tiger hunter.

Fool! Fool! Fool!

Is that your garage?

Rich, yes, that is my garage Crammed into it are my Porsche, my 2011 Shelby Mustang, and my reloading bench. It's a little crowded, but workable, (except when it's 115 degrees!). Chip.

That's what A/C is for.

Can't be! There is waaaaaaaay too much empty space to be a real garage.

And, waaaaaaay too tidy!

Very nice ride, I could make room next to my XK-8 convertible in my extremely messy, crowded garage.

Rich

Rich: how 'bout I park the Mustang out in the driveway and make room for your XK-8 between the Porsche and the reloading bench. Your car should be happy in such company. Chip.

I would be honored, and the Jag might come in heat!

A neat garage is the sign of a sick mind.

Porsche dealer still in Hermosa? I am trying to remember the name, Polak or something like that. I used to drive by the place while visiting a girlfriend that lived in the area. This was way before 1994 though. I think you had to speak German or the salesmen wouldn't talk to you.
C.G.B.

Wasn't it Vasek Polack> or something like that?

Butch: yes, the name of the dealership was Vasek Polak. They did not have my car in their inventory when I walked into the showroom, but they located a car that fit my specs. up in Santa Barbara at the dealership up there, Cutter Automotive. It was shipped down by truck, and I took delivery on March 9, 1994. The car has been coddled over the years, and has only 14,200 miles on the clock. It is as much of a thrill to drive it today as it was when I got it. Cheers. Chip.

When I live in Alaska the second time (1974-1980)I bought my performance Porsche parts from them.

Great 993! Not a huge Porsche fan these days; it's air-cooled or nuthin'!

Also a huge fan of the true American muscle car - the Mustang.

Clayman: the stablemate of my Turbo Porsche is a 2011 Ford GT 500 Shelby Cobra. Cheers to your good taste!

P.S. My Chocolate Lab wanted to get his butt in the photo!

you know, there's plenty of room in there for my black Harley-Davidson FLSTF. Put a 120 inch R motor in last year. 130 Horsepower and 130ft/lbs of torque at the back tire. It's the right color and everything.

Which of the two gets more exercise?

Rich: I have seen your thread on that bike…..it is an awesome beast. On the cars…..just to give you an idea of the amount of exercise… I have owned the Turbo for over 20 years…..it has 14,200 miles on the clock. I bought the Shelby in January of 2011….it has 22,000 miles on the clock. So the Turbo is averaging about 60 miles per month. The Shelby is averaging about 550 miles per month. So I guess the Shelby gets used almost 10 times as much as the Turbo. Cheers. Chip.
