It's been a while since I've visited, but saw this teener on the road on my way home a few days ago. I can't remember the last time I actually saw one on the road when it wasn't a show or some sort of event. My dream of owning one has been put on hold once again and may never happen, but I'll keep dreaming...

I bought mine in Minneapolis back in '99 and drove it back to OH. The guy I bought it from has a silver '70 original six and a green '73 or '74 2.0 as well as a cream '65 356, 911(s) and a Boxster. He is near Lake Nokomis. Not sure how much he drives the teeners, though.

I bought my car back when my wife and I were still dating. She lived in Minneapolis, and I was in Cincinnati, but I traveled every week for work, so I would visit her pretty much every other weekend. It didn't take long for her to realize that I loved Porsches, so she decided to take me to visit the father of one of her ex-boyfriends that she was/is still friends with. He is the guy that I mentioned above. He had bought what is now my car as a beater to drive between his businesses, but he never did, so he let me buy it (cheap because he still really liked my wife). The other cars, including the 356 were immaculate, although I haven't seen them since that day in '99. Additionally, my car still has all of its paperwork, and I was able to track down the original owner. He bought my car when he was a cadet in the AF Academy, and it spent most of its time (on the road) out in AZ and CO. He now lives on Lake Minnetonka. |
