Default 964 RS finally 25 years old...

Today I pulled the trigger on a white 964RS. It will be on the boat end of the month.

Since selling off my entire collection in 2006 I have not stopped thinking about my old Meritime Blue 964 RS.

As I look back 10 years ago I did not have any idea how much I would miss my cars. I should have never sold Any of the RS cars....

In the good old days my daily driving decisions were a choice between 73, 92 , 95 RS. 07 GT3. IROC clone 3.8 hot rod and a few others. I loved them all, they all were fun but none like the 964RS.

The car will be here soon. I have decided on a white car vs a Rubystone car. May regret it....

Anyone else out there considering a 964RS. Import is fairly easy once they turn 25.

Am i crazy to drop 3 times the cash on the same car 10 years later to scratch an itch.

And still worth every penny- you can't buy new cars like this anymore at any price.

No, but perhaps you were crazy to sell it in the first place

I see your old car every couple of months. One day I hope to drive one to see how much better it is...

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it

A few have made there way to Canada (15 years old to import). A local dealer had a Rubystone and a Maritime blue RS. Something to see them side by side. An RS America as well near by.

The Ruby was sold and not sure if they still have the blue one.
