Recently I saw a late 70s/early80s 911 turbo that looked like it had just rolled out of the factory. I really liked them from that time. I really don't get it when someone spends big money on a car like this and then never drives it. The worst thing you can ever do with a car is to let it sit for long periods of time without being driven. They just deteriorate on you when you do that. Plus you spent the money on it go out and have some fun with it.

The key ignition is on the left side because during Porsche endurance racing it cut time for the driver to jump in, quickly start the car and take off. Its a Porsche tradition. Look it up.

Don't think the "look it up" part is really necessary. I mean the alternative to what you are saying being true is that you make up very specific fabrications about the reasons why Porsches are designed in a specific way.

It doesn't matter where the ignition key is. The car should start reliably and not be left in the workshop. Porsches are difficult to maintain and expensive. Therefore, owners leave them in their garage and don't use them. Of course, after 10 years they still look like new...

Problem is that so few maintain them properly. I drive a Porsche too and I love it but there is no denying it is an expensive car to maintain. But I did my research so I knew that going in.

Here in Germany there is no speed limit on the Autobahn. So you should be able to drive 700km across Germany very quickly in a Porsche... WRONG! Traffic does not allow high sustained speeds and the Porsche has to refuel every 400km. With a fast sedan and diesel engine, however, you only need to refuel every 800km. At the end of the day, the Porsche is slower. Remember: It is not the top speed that counts, but the average speed over several days.

Pretty correct Scotty what you tell us.Two remarks on what You said. When Porsche really considers to stop production of the 911 as they were too expensive to build, they hired a clever CEO at the time. This guy, an Engineer of our best Engineering University RWTH Aachen, hired TOYOTA Production experts to re-engineer 911 production to improve quality & manufacturing costs. Ever since this product was a license to print money for Porsche. Number 2 remark: There is a very interesting Code You can't access with your fancy tool, but Porsche dealers can: Porsche logs overrevs of the engine, and that is why everybody who considers to buy a second hand 911 should take this car to a dealer to get this information prior to purchase - that applies to shifters of course .....

[@jessewynne8193]

People wondered and questioned if it was an air cooled engine why is it not in the front? Where most of the air would be? Only Answer I have to that is too much air would make it too cold and engines. Don’t like being too cold and they don’t like being too hot. So putting it in the rear was a good idea and the added manual activated cooling FAN would suck into the engine bay not blow air out. And there was also an opening above the rear axle to allow the passing air from under the car go into the tube (tunnel-hole) so those really shouldn’t have gone in deep water. The VW rabbit of the same size was actually air tight and seen them go into ponds and drive around like a BoAT! But I don’t think the Bettles were designed to do that. It would be awesome to have a convertible modern car that could float and drove into ponds like the old rabbits of the late 70’s 80’s

I'm german & i would never, ever, ever buy a german car! Might as well throw your money in the fireplace 😉.

[@gefleigh4264]

@scottykilmer . I have a Toyota 1NZ-FE with VVTi 1.5 4 cylinder engine. I want to know that is it safe to remove the thermostat from my car? Our mechanic will not put it back after replacing the gasket saying, Philippines is too hot and we don't need a thermostat. Is it safe for my engine to run without thermostat? Or will my engine will have sludges and wear out faster? I need ur advice

When the electronics go on this kiss it goodbye folks

911 is a money pit? Yes! Worth it? Yes! If you're spending $15 K in maintenance a year, you either got a hooptie or are driving it into the ground.

[@jp1087]

How does a $100 fix on a Porsche make it a money pit? Seems like the car has been well maintained. Routine maintenance doesn't make a car a money pit. The first owner spending retail on it doesn't make it a money pit, because that's what it cost when it was new.

Scotty surrender his 94 Celica for a Porche? No Way. 😂 "Poor Rich people"? 😂

[@fredbuckles919]

Porsches are not merely cars, but have hearts and souls. Attend to them and they will love you back; just do not ignore them. If you do, be prepared to pay dearly, very dearly....Worth it though. ... There are no other cars like them.

[@user-sj7fu6es3y]

😂😂😂 Ridiculous how many lame excuses you made up for your money pit

[@gefleigh4264]

I prefer an Aston.

for the abs no communication check the fuses the plug pins for power and grounds and the canbus lines for signal, if they are good remove the abs electronic module. open the cover it will be glued or heat welded, using a magnifying glass examine the solder joints and the IC chips look for white spot/s on them if any seen it's blown take note of the number/s and look on line from 10 to 50$ have an expert solder new one in, cheap fix

[@functiongarage]

Oh that's fantastic! Checking this tonight, thank you.

I had 2003 911…first water cooled 996…it was trouble!

Now that is definitely a money pit.😂
