Well who knows, you might have your own RC aftermarket parts/company someday as a business. Then you'll be able to buy a couple of 911s. Just don't forget to get the 993, 964 and 997. They're my favorite 911 bodies.

Yup. But those bug-eye headlights were still used in the 964.

Yea but the 964 was too refined, it didn't have that same I will kill you when you take a turn feel that the 930 had.

A 993 would be damn cool, but oh my god I do not need a 20-year-old German car to maintain.

No. I flatly refuse to even imagine that amount of pain.

Old Porsches are not as bad as many think. Actually Porsche 911 of all series have the best reliability score of our technical inspection agency. BMW's are far worse and of course italian/french cars...

Old cars are actually very simple.. they don’t have bells and whistles, computers.

Its mostly common sense. If you have Fuel pressure, spark and air.. turn the key and car will start

Very simple, yes, but old 911s have a well-deserved reputation for being widowmakers. Suspension that needs maintenance would just make that problem worse.

the 930 was the widow maker.. normally aspirated 911s were not very fast
