And Kevin also points us to this notorious YouTube video on a 944 Turbo in action …

Now that I have driven Kevin’s ’89 Turbo and am coming in contact with it frequently, I find myself thinking turbo more than ever before.  I deliberately avoided turbo for my first 944, as a concern around both budget and complexity.  But the driving is an extraordinary experience.  Here is a video, which I saw quite some time ago, but Kevin again brings to our attention.  Externally, the car tested is just about a dead ringer for Kevin’s …….

I just discovered that she has re-published some of my 944 pins and tumblr posts, including some of my original photos, on her Pinterest board.  Thanks, Stef!

Was a 356 the car you really wanted?  I remember the first 356 I rode in (I had to curl my 6′ 2″ self across the jump seats as I drew the short straw) but I immediately wanted one, nevertheless.  And the first one I drove?  I had my 911 into a wheel shop when, astonishingly, the owner gave me the keys to his pristine red Cabrio so I could dash across the San Fernando Valley and down the San Diego Freeway (I think they refer to them numerically now) and pick up a part for him while he attended to my car.  Top down in SoCal; I went to heaven that day.
