Why does everyone make such a big deal about Porsches? They REEK! (This particular one will reek even more than usual....)

A sad day.

Weird. I've never seen a Porsche that aspired to be a Ferrari.

As they would say in Masterchef, it's been cooked to perfection!

Seven comments ahead of mine, on post day? Good frickin' OPC day. And this post is a game changer!

Oh, man. This is so sad. Although this is not a 993, they were known to have the occasional engine fire from defective insulation on the engine harness. Later, MUCH later the DOT got involved, but PCNA still wasn't so forthcoming about all the fun. Yeah, ask how I know.... BTW, I love your site. Had no idea Portland had such the collection of rare ones.

That sucks, but it's a targa so I'm kinda ok with it. Thank god it wasn't an SC.

If you focus in on the yellow 69 Ford Mustang convertible with that house in the background it reminds me of something of the old TV show Adam 12. I was too young when it was on primetime but I remember it as reruns....
Also I like the blue lights on that Portland fire truck I don't think FDNY has blue lights

these comments are great. dead_elvis is on fire with that wicked burn.

targa owners everywhere are rejoicing: the value of their cars has increased slightly as of your posting these pics, Piffs.
