Refinishing the Wheels on Our Porsche 911 (964): Can a Car Have a Soul?

Refinishing the Wheels on Our 911 (964) There’s a saying that “everything has a soul.” Treat an appliance with care, and it may keep working reliably for years. And sometimes, the moment you say, “It’s been acting up lately—we should replace it,” it suddenly starts working perfectly again. I sometimes wonder if the same thing can be said of cars. The other day, my husband had the wheels on our 911 (964) refinished at an...

Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Regular Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

The Porsche 911 (992) When test drives of the current 911 (992) first began, I came across some less-than-flattering reviews. They said things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive that it’s become more like a regular car” and “The 992 isn’t fun.” But is that really the case? The first time my husband and I test-drove a 992, we drove a 911 Carrera 4S. It was certainly easy to drive, comfortable, and wonderfully...

Porsche 911 (992) Driving Position: How Does It Compare with the 991 and 981?

The Porsche 911 Driving Position The other day, my husband came home after driving our 911 Cabriolet (992) and started telling me about it. The 992 rides firmly, but smoothly. You do feel bumps in the road at times, but the ride has improved quite a bit compared with when we first took delivery. And the driving position in the 992 is really easy to get just right. It might be the easiest Porsche I’ve...

Porsche GT3 vs. GTS: Which Is Better for Long-Distance Touring?

What Makes Porsche GTS Models Great for Touring? After a year-end road trip in our Boxster GTS, my husband reflected: The GTS stands for “Grand Touring Sport,” and it really is well suited to touring. Even more so than the GT3. That got me wondering. When I asked him why, he explained: Of course, it’s fun to drive on great roads, but even on regular roads, when you’re taking it easy at lower speeds, the...

Test-Driving a 1976 Porsche 911S Targa with Sportomatic

The other day, my husband had the chance to drive a 1976 911S Targa on Royu Driveway, and he wrote up a report about the experience. We hope you enjoy reading it. The Porsche 911S Targa The Porsche 911 Targa has always had a special appeal. It’s like a coupe, but not quite; like a cabriolet, but not quite. It’s still fresh in our minds that Porsche recently unveiled a Heritage Design Edition of the...

Five Porsches in Our Garage: If My Husband Could Keep Just One, Which Would It Be?

Our Porsche Lineup We currently have five Porsches in our family: a Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2), a 911 (964 C2), a 911 Cabriolet (992), a Boxster GTS (981), and a Cayenne E-Hybrid. (Now that I think about it, that really is a lot…) The other day, someone my husband knows asked him, “Forget future value or rarity. If you could keep just one car from your current lineup, which would you choose?” “That’s a really...

What It’s Like to Drive a 911 GT3 When You Usually Drive a Cayenne

Getting Back Behind the Wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 Our household has a few sports cars—a manual Boxster, a 911 Cabriolet, a manual 911 GT3, and a 911 (964). But they’re often parked near the train station or close to my husband’s office. They’re also mostly two-seaters (the 911 may have four seats, but in practice it feels like a two-seater…), so I don’t get many chances to drive them. My husband always tells...

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection: What It Covers and How Much It Costs

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection In a recent article, “Driving a Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like Driving a New Car,” I mentioned that I’d share the inspection details later. So this time, I’m going to cover what the inspection involved and how much it cost. For this inspection, we took the car to B-Force, the shop that’s looked after our 964 ever since it was delivered. Here’s what the inspection included and what...
