Welcome aboard RayC. Are you keeping both Porsches? It's hard to find us on RL, since they block the word carpokes, so very happy you found your way over to the friendly forum.

I'm glad to be here . And no, I'm not keeping both 992's--the plan was always to end up with just the GTS.

Hello all!
Found my way here from a facebook post showing off a nice 944 dash replacement and love the forum and layout!
Name - Kevin Brantley
Location - Monroe, Louisiana (US)
My "Molly" is an '87 944 N/A and she's my first Porsche. I'm in North Louisiana and found her fairly local in Vicksburg, Mississippi for a steal only needing a transaxle replacement. That being said, I'm currently on my second transaxle and it's starting to make the same knocking noises. My next will be a rebuilt instead of going cheaper and buying just used.
She's sitting on 18" Panamera wheels and still runs like a top! A/C will still freeze you out. Love this car!
I'm also in the middle of a snub-nose conversion while deleting the front and back bumper pads and hope to have here completed and back on the road for spring.
So glad I found this forum!

Welcome to the friendly Porsche forum!! Super happy to have you aboard. Embarrassing personal fact, I had an '85 911 in the early '90's and commuted to work in a business suit in it. The A/C was so weak, it was awful in the summer. A friend drove us to lunch in his 944 one day, and the a/c made the car feel like a meat locker in the middle of summer. There were lots of reasons I got a 944 (hot laps in the passenger seat at Laguna Seca with a factory driver chief among them) but I'd be lying if I didn't admit the a/c and those massive vents were a pretty bit draw back in the days of business suits and daily commutes....

@Tom do you have a photo of the ‘85 911?

@Tom do you have a photo of the ‘85 911?

I'm convinced the history of mankind, or our knowledge about it, will be divided into three eras:

Era 1: prior to written words, where we have to dig up old artifacts for clues about what happened.

Era 2: after the written word but before the iPhone, where we can read descriptions and see pictures of nearly all significant historical events and developments.

Era 3: after the iPhone, where we have a near-continuous flow of pictures about every possible aspect of life.

Sadly, I owned my '85 during Era 2, so no pictures, just fond memories.

P.S., if there is an Era 4, the logical next step will be some form of omni-present-documentation of our existence, where we can scan backwards akin to a DVR to see/experience anything and everything that may have happened in the past. Apple is half way there.

There's a couple of episodes of Black Mirror on Netflix showing the pitfalls of Era 4 type functionality. Scary.
