Looks like we are going to have some warm days coming up next week. Definitely top down weather. There will be lots of convertibles out and that is fun to see.

Sorry, no Puerto Rican flag hanging from the mirror in the Giveaway Porsche. I did have the top down several times the last few sunny days we’ve had. Getting things all warmed up for the winner.

Ryan,

You don’t happen to have a flag (Puerto Rican maybe?) hanging from the 911′s rearview mirror do you? I saw a black 911 Cabriolet driving around in Beaverton a week or two ago with the top down on a sunny day with a small flag danging from the rearview, flapping in the breeze.

I love the idea of keeping the 911 a true sports car for the driving experience on winding country roads. If you are commuting and sittiing in traffic I think that is where you want to feel like you are sitting in your living room on your sofa. I guess this is where the luxury sedan comes into play.

What the general public generally complains about has always been to me what actually gives something character! The heck wiith the herd !

I know, I know…some of those things were exaggerated a bit intentionally to attempt to align with what traditionally have been Porsche drivers complaints. The point is, the idiosyncrasies are what make the Porsche experience what it is. Love em or hate em, and we have both sides, they’re what make driving a Porsche a unique and rewarding experience.

Ryan,

Have you driven any new 911s recently? Both the 996 and the 997 are crammed full of creature comforts and electronic bells and whistles. Both models are still all Porsche, you just have to turn a few things off.

I’m 6′ 3″ tall and about 260 lbs. I don’t find my ’73 911 or ’97 993 small or cramped. The new 997s are downright roomy!!!

911s haven’t really been that tail happy for years (unless of course your talking about a GT3 or GT2) With PSM and PASM they practically drive themselves. Wait, maybe I just agreed with you…
