A friend of my dad's bought a 912 in 1979 or 1980 to save a few bucks over buying a 911. He didn't know it was thoroughly rusted. He poured many, many dollars in over the next 10 years to fix it. By the time he was all done, he still had a 912.

My mom used to have a 912... Until she was pregnant with me -- and traded it on a used '67 Eldorado...
Maybe that's why I went from a Cadillac to a Porsche!

Wow. . . dat color.
Reminds me of my Corvette which was the exact same color. Tan w/ a tan pleather interior. But mine had brown pin stirpes. Dad called it "Camelshit Brown." Not that he was an expert on dromedary excrement. .

Three interesting cars this weekend from around the Glen
The first is the Turner Motorsport i8. It was just sitting in a parking lot. Had Mass plates. I assume this was the one from the cover of Roundel last month. 2nd was 'Murrika. A beautiful redneck Corvette. Vettes are everywhere this weekend, looks like fun. I didn't get a pic of the third car, but it was notable for three distinct reasons. First, it was a bright red 991 GT3, first 991 version I've seen. Second it had Georgia plates, so one heck of a road trip. Third, it was being driven by an extremely attractive woman... win. win. win.

Georgia plates? Were they distributor plates?

I wasn't looking that closely at the plates
I think she was with a guy in a brand new Cayenne following her (also w/ GA plates). After I wrote this I wondered if maybe they were w/ Porsche NA

Notable car sighting thread
I can't recall ever seeing one of these out on the road. Very conservative styling for a supercar. Fantastic engine sound.

I didn't think the Focus RS was out yet, but I would swear I saw a white one last Thursday
