Up for sale is my 1999 911 Carrera Coupe.  I bought it back in November and have been using it as my daily driver since then.  Due to a recent job change, I have a new daily driver so unfortunately that leaves the 911 as the odd man out as my wife and I simply don’t have the space for four cars.  I’ve been completely bitten by the 911 bug though, so in due time I should be able to sell my weekend car and re-enter the 911 fold with something more dedicated to driver education / track events.

It’s a clean, no-stories car that has been stone cold reliable for me for the past five months.  It hasn’t missed a single beat that entire time – fires right up in the morning, everything works just as designed and has genuinely been a joy to own.  It’s without a doubt the best daily driver I’ve ever had – great heat, ice-cold A/C, and excellent steering, brake and clutch feedback.

The car has been in the northeast its entire life.  I’m the fourth owner, and I think the second owner is the gent who installed most of the carbon fiber pieces (which are a mix of OEM and aftermarket) as well as having the rebuilt transmission and LN IMS bearing installed.

I used to work as a mechanic at an exotic car dealership back when I was in my college days.  So, I still do all of my own work.  There really hasn’t been much on the 911:

11/2013 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
12/2013 – Replaced the CD holder with an OEM upper storage shelf (cubby)
        – Installed an Ultimate Cupholder (which comes with the car)
        – Replaced the wheel locks with OEM lug bolts
        – Replaced the windshield wipers – Bosch Icon 22A/B
        – Replaced all the rear light bulbs – tail, brake, reverse and turn signals
02/2014 – Installed a Blendmount Valentine 1 radar detector (mount comes with the car)
04/2014 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
        – Replaced the serpentine belt

Thanks for your time!

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
