RIP, certainly a legacy that will never be forgotten.
I just saw this on facebook… it seems like such a young age by today’s standard… maybe I’m wrong.
Also to note Jim Marshall of Marshall amps passed away today.
No shit, really? I didn’t see that, what a shame.
Well as bad as it is that this man has passed away. Maybe now Porsche can be redesigned to look good and not like a 40+ year old car. every year its been completely redesigned to look like the year before.
I love most of them. They look awesome IMO.
lol That’s exactly what I thought when I read that and I kind of felt bad. I then read the article that I saw and he left the company way before Porsche got that moniker of lazy styling.
hmmm maybe they will do a special limited tribute model…

[FRANKFURT, Germany](Bing Maps - Directions, trip planning, traffic cameras & more, Germany&sty=h&form=msdate) — He designed Porsche’s classic 911 sports car — the sleek model that evokes power, wealth and envy among aficionados — cementing his grandfather’s name into the modern psyche
I hate all of the 911 style Porsche even the old ones they look like the sports car version of the bug. and i hate the bug even more. in fact if someone gave me a brand new bug i would sell it for anything i could get even if it was just a case of beer. if i was given a Porsche i would sell that too and buy a GTR or a new BRZ then mod one of them.
waste of money and was a cool look when the first 3 rolled off the line. now its like a miata everywhere and only cool if a girl is driving it.
The 911 has always been my favorite car since aboot 10 years old. He died the day after my birthday, I guess I will never forget what day it was.
Thank you. I typed the guys name and search didnt find it. I think people need to start using the name of what ever object/person they are talking about so it shows up that its been created. lol
Yeah,because when you search Porsche it doesn’t come up. :ham: lol
Something tells me you haven’t been in a porsche or a miata.
says the s13 driver…
There is a reason I bought an s13 hatch. because they are amazing cars. badly built but amazing designs. and you know what? an s13 s14 and s15 all look different and more modern as the years went on. all cater to a taste of different individuals yet still have the same bad ass sporty performance.
Porsche on the other hand not so much… the performance slowly got better as the years went on. it started out with one hell of a twitchy rear end and how many years did it take for them to figure that out? close to 20 if not more. because the engine is behind the wheels… smart… even though lots of mid engine cars existed and worked great. if they bought out the 911 for a few years back in the 60s or 70s then mothballed it until now and then brought out the 911s from today. i wouldn’t hate them so much.
but i think the car is fucking awesome if a chick was driving it. but that said a chick driving a 240 would be way hoter in my opinion just because a chick driving an underpowered 240 usually means she knows something about cars.
I drive a Chevy Prizm.
Fuck you.
Ditto
RIP…
And ugh, this is why I never start threads in network wide.
FT: mediocre performance twitchy rear end 911 Turbo for an AMAZING bad ass high performance sporty 240sx
