Speaking of 951s...I don't want to put this giant "turbo" badge on the back of my car, but I don't NOT want to do that, also.

I'd actually rather have the similar black logo from the 2002 turbo but it's NLA and is punishingly expensive.

Stupid low. What's the point of averaging <100 miles a year? That would scare me. That's a bubble car/super collectors vehicle. At that point it's a different market altogether, I think.

Yes, that's a museum car. You don't buy one of those to drive them.

You also don't buy one of those if, the, for example, $80k means much to you.

There was an article in this month's PCA magazine about the transaxle cars. This picture of the 968 struck me on how much better the car looks without the stupid spoiler on the back.

Is that an actual 968 or maybe a design concept? That looks really good. Could almost be introduced today as a modern version
