I have owned a half-dozen Porsche’s from every generation. The 912 I have now is the last vintage p-car I will ever want. It’s plenty fast for me. Read more

We specifically requested the R for... reasons. You’ll hear more about said reasons soon. Read more

I love my m3 swapped e46 touring. It isn’t as beautifully done as the one shown above, but it’s clean, fast, and everything works. I kind of enjoy the bit of sleeperness it has due to keeping all the non-M body panels in place. I do have one little hint on the back, with the badge, but most people probably don’t get

Sorry for being anal. I have a thing for manual-transmission wagons...here is mine. Read more

Nice car, good article, only a small correction it’s “stahlblau” not stalblau. Read more

Tell me you got to this car before Petrolicious did..because if there was ever a car that is Petrolicious material, this would be it..

Pretty sure he’s making fun of people that think the moon landing isn’t real. Read more

My driveway does the same to my 996 front lip. I’ve accepted it as the price to pay for not having to street park without bumpers. Read more

I was lucky enough to buy a garage find early ‘66 Porsche 912 (3 gauge dash) from a friend of mine a few years back for only $1500. It was a “ran when parked” daily driver that had been sitting for 15 years. It was a great car, and really showed its merits in the canyons with handling that was every bit as light and

Funny how most of the world always saw the 912 as “the poor man’s 911" but now seems to be recognizing the 912 as for what it is: a good balanced, air-cooled car that isn’t too flashy or setting any new land speed records.

If soccer moms, douche bros and floosies driving Macans and Cayennes helps pay for the r&d that gives us GT3s and a potential F1 program, I hope they sell a million. Read more

Nope, sorry. There is NO way these things are worth what they are selling for now days. $20-$30k max for a super clean one, nothing more. Read more

Well, apparently my neighbor has a white 912. As I was reading this article on my phone on a smoke break outside our complex, he scratched the front lip coming out of the garage (sadly a normal occurrence in LA) before driving down the block. Read more

There used to be a beige one with Fuchs sitting for yeaaaars near me. Disappeared like 5 years ago though, along with the yellow ‘69 Camaro that had been sitting in a driveway for at least since I was in kindergarten. Sucks too because it left riiight as I got my license and I had said back in 1st grade or so that I Read more

I’ve seen a 912e with the 2.0 making about 140hp. Trying to find it again on Google. Read more

Had one of these briefly in college in the early 90s. It was a joy to drive on a day without cares. On a day where I had to drive Southern California freeways to got to school and work, it was a constant reminder that I wasn’t the right person for the car. I sold it, albeit at a modest profit, after 6 months. Read more
