I never liked the body styles of the 928/924/944 series.  Maybe if they had been some other brand, but I never wanted a front engine hatchbacky Porsche.

My favorite Porsche of all time is still probably this one:



924 and 944 were cousins. 928 was completely unrelated. 924 was garbage.

This is probably my favorite - the 930 (911 cousin).

Sure, but they all have that long hood, front engine, hatchbacky look.  Which I found to be okay on similar cars of the era like, say, the Datsun 280ZX, but didn't like on any version of Porsche.

But the one I like the least, has got to be the 914.  Growing up, our next door neighbor had one exactly like this, same color and all.

Q cars

we called them "sleepers" back in the day
Oh I meant to comment on this a couple of days ago.  An example of this, was the original Ford Taurus SHO.  A friend had one and while I wouldn't describe the driving experience as "sporty"... the car was still deceptively quick.

1970: Ford Mustang “Lawman” arriving in the Vietnam. Only 2 of these "Lawman" Super BOSS 429 Mustangs were ever made by Ford for tour to U.S. troops in Vietnam, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, & Mainland military bases. It's the only Ford Made BOSS 429 Mustang that's automatic in the world,1200hp, runs a quarter mile in 8.4 seconds at 185mph. Top speed depends on how it's geared but it's well over 185mph.
2013: The "Lawman" shows up at Midwest Car Exchange for a little visit to shake the dust off the rafters and show all the other muscle cars who the real BOSS is.
What a cool piece of history to stop at our showroom. This was not for sale, just stopped for us to take a look and admire a piece of history.

I'm not a motorcycle guy.  My absolute favorite cousin was killed on one when I was about 13, and I've pretty much hated them ever since.

I'm ok with dirt bikes on private property, but I'll never be into motorcycles on public roads/highways.

Years ago when the helmet laws were raging a few of us were tossing back some suds and the discussion came up. We asked a fireman/medic friend what was the real difference in wearing a helmet. He said an open or closed casket
