The 911 for me will always define what a real sportscar should be.

parealtor has a reputation beyond repute

people can joke about the design and how its never really changed over all these years but the truth is the design was so cutting edge that it never needed to change. A man with a vision decades ahead of what others could only duplicate

RIP.

just the other day my co-work came to me and ask why Porsche designers are so lazy and never change the style. I told him the same reason why sharks and crocodiles never really evolved as much as other animals. They are already on top of their food chain.

RIP
