I had a one year love affair with a 1989 944 Turbo s. I put 22,000 hair raising miles on that red beauty, until I had to sell her to go back to school.
Other than putting up with some grief from my wife's family for driving a "farmer's Porsche" the car was a joy and pretty much a rocketship.
Gas, oil, and a set of tires in the year I owned the car.
That's it.
This was my second Porsche, as the first was a car I purchased from my dad, a mustard colored 1967 912.
Loved that car as well, and drove it for four years until I got hooked on a string of TR-6s.
