    Default RIP: Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

    The Man who Designed and Brought us the 911 may he Rest In Peace. He was only 76 years old too.

    The 911 is classic. I love that car.

    RIP, sir.

    What were the best years? Late 90s in my book.

    Agreed. I think the mid to late 90's were the last air-cooled engines, which are the purest 911's, IMO. Don't get me wrong - I'd drive a new one, but not before an e46 M3.

    The 911 is a classic. I'm not a Porsche guy by any means, but I'd definitely drive a 911.

    One of my customers at work has a twin-turbo AWD 911. Car is amazing. Not an air-cooled engine, but totally badass nonetheless.
