I lived in Switzerland for most of the 1990s. Somewhere along the line I bought a Mercedes 280SL (See Above. My wife and the car outside our house). I don’t know much about cars, but after acquiring this one for a brief period of time I developed an interest in classic/vintage cars. One of the cars I came across in my reading was the red one below. I believe it’s a Porsche 944 (or maybe a 924. I don’t know enough about the differences to be sure. I also quickly learned that Porsche afficionados don’t care for this this model very much. This seems to be because of a combination of different factors:

• To some, the 911 is the only ‘real’ porsche and so the 944 didn’t have the same prestige.
• The 924 that came before it was developed with the Volkswagen Group and featured a modified Audi engine.
• It was less expensive (you’d think that that would be an advantage but status-wise in the Porsche world probably not)
• A lot of them were built (in looking for information I discovered that over 163,000 cars were produced. It was the most successful sports car in Porsche’s history until the introductions of the Boxster and 997 Carrera).

I came across this one during one of my recent walks. I loved the way it looked in the 1990s and I still do. You can keep your 911s (unless of course you feel like giving one to me). I know I’m very much in the minority, but I’ve never liked the way they look.
