Per Iceman's request, here's my 79 SC Targa.

And I do tinker a bit...

I like her big butt and sexy curves. I like the way the dash gauges are laid out. I like the smell she has when I sit in her first thing in the morning. I like the way she smiles at me as I walk up to her front end.
OMG, I'm in love all over again !!

Ya the headlight fender, the hips, the glorious sound, the handling, the rear end , the front, the interior, the glorious sound, the legend, the color...silver...the size, the glorious sound.....I can hardly stand it....Dwight

I like the fact that my wife encouraged me to buy the car. My whole family LOVES it!

Ian Ledger · 09-27-2009, 03:38 PM

Feeling as I am part of the car, or is it the other way round?

i think everything and especially the color and really especially the almost 600 chp in a 2250 pound chassis!

As a new guy to the Porsche ownership club and having owned 4 Corvettes, these cars make you feel as though you are a part of them. Not something you get out of American Iron. I look forward to getting in her every day. As soon as the weather gets under 100 I will be driving my Coupe everyday. Can't wait.

I love it even more now after a cat bypass and sport muffler. It finally sounds like it should!!

I love the sound - no better sound track for back-roads twitsties. G-forces are fun, too!

As a lefty, I like that the key is on the left, as well - only problem is that I get confused when I go to drive my F-150.

In a 911 you know that you are in one of the true, undeniably cool cars. Removes all need to prove how cool your car is, because people just know.

There is nothing like the sound of a flat six Porsche. That big fan whirring in back of you. I miss that with the 997. That is distinctly air cooled 911 stuff.

And the air cooled 911's have a wonderful smell when you open the door.

Every night, without exception. I've even taken up more garage-centric hobbies (currently building tube amps on the bench next to her) just to spend more time out there.

Most mornings on my way out to my little toyota tacoma (daily driver), I open the door of my 911 and give the interior a sniff (oh my God...that smell!!!). I even stick my nose over the engine grill to have a whiff of the mechanicals.

Some of you people frighten me...

But yeah, this car satisfies all five senses. It brings back memories of my dad's '72 Beetle..it had the same fuel/oil/interior smell.
