I sense many of us on this board have both. Which one gets more seat time?

Well, we bought our first Porsche, a 71 914 , in 1973. It was daily driver and then PCA autocross and track car. We sold it in December 1983 when our oldest was born. We bought a 1973 911T because it had a back seat. In 1988, I bought a 1983 Targa as a commuter car and later that year a 1980 911 hotrod track car. I thought I was converted and then I drove a Boxster. I had a Boxster from 2012 until I gave it to my eldest last year. All of the 911’s have been sold except for 1968 911.

My only keeper is the 914-6 project that I bought in 1981. I will never give it up. Now painted, I just have to assemble it. The house should be complete in a couple of months so I can get to it.
