@@GoldenCroc I drove mine for just over 19 years and it only stranded me one single time, and it did this when it was over 30 years old. And that is probably my fault for having a mechanic who didn't know what he was doing try to install a new shifter coupler on top of the transmission on the cheap. He got it wrong and 500 miles later it broke, leaving me with 2nd gear on the Bee Line highway near Orlando.

[@GoldenCroc]

@@Flies2FLL Yeah, I dont doubt it. If you will allow me to go on a bit of a tangent here... Nothing personal about your post, but I find the American fascination of "stranded" quite curious. I have often read "never left me stranded" etc and so on in used car ads, and so on. I have heard other people say their cars have only left them stranded 2-3 times over 10 years ownership (from new), and that is supposedly considered not too bad at all? This, to me as a european, seems incredible. I have never owned a car that has left me stranded a single time, and that includes lots of sub 1000 dollar cars. I dont know anyone that has got a car that left them stranded. Just a different perspective. I can only assume it is a function of the quality of servicing and regularity of proper servicing being way, way less. And perhaps also interest in their car by the general owner. Cheers mate.

[@Flies2FLL]

@@GoldenCroc Thank you "Golden Croc", I'm sure you would be welcome here in Florida. My spouse is from Belgium and I flew out of Brussels for a time all around Europe for DHL, so I understand the European perspective. I grew up in Michigan south of Detroit and my dad always kept his cars at least 7 years, but by that time the American cars were rust buckets. My first car was a '77 VW Golf [Rabbit] and it had rotted floorboards. When it was 7 years old it really wasn't safe anymore, because when I went 60 mph on one of Michigan's concrete roads, the failed floor pan started a harmonic situation that resulted in a loud "wuh wuh wuh" and the car started to go sideways! This taught me that cars need to be replaced at some point despite how they look. My girlfriend loved that bright Bali green Golf, but I had to sell it. As to the 928, it was the only car I have ever had to have towed. It was 30 years old at the time and had 160,000 miles on it, but the real problem wasn't the car, it was the stupid maintenance that I had done on it. To make a long story short, if you don't do proper maintenance on a car it will break down on you. But in the end, no matter how much maintenance you do, the car will die at some point: That Golf failed completely [I sat down in August of 1984, and the seat fell straight through the floor and hit my parent's driveway due to RUST~], and the 928 just failed a bit. Cars break, we just have to deal with it when it happens.

[@GoldenCroc]

@@Flies2FLL Wow, thanks for your nice reply. I would love to visit one day, I have never been in the US so far. I am in a quite severe rust territory myself, and it was probably the most common cause of scrapping cars up until the early 2000s. Rust protection have gotten a lot better over the years, and by the early 2000s, most cars had good enough protection to last at least 15-20 years even in this enviroment. This meant other failures took over. Since we have, as many/most european countries do, a quite strict yearly inspection, I would wager an illuminated airbag light is the most common reason for scrapping cars around here, since its an inspection fail. And often uneconomical to fix on old, low value cars unless you can do it yourself. But I realise now while I am typing this I maybe missed the forest for the trees, surely the yearly inspection is what is incentivizing most people to keep the vehicles in ok shape over here, hence a big part why they dont strand people as often.... Anyway, loved the stories; I believe I might be a bit younger than you, so this account of another place and another time I havent experienced myself is very interesting. Cheers mate.

The gear config on the Beck, is a VW "freeway flier" setup where they put a taller bus 4th gear in for freeway cruising. Its notoriously noisy in the 4.12 ring gear config. You need to swap to a 3.88 ring gear type freeway flier setup (and bus 4th gear) and it will be quiet and still have the taller gear set for normal highway speeds.

Only Hoovie would call that beautiful ‘74 Porsche ‘ratty’.

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Definitely Targa-tize the red 911. The G series convertibles are shatty looking even new.

[@bucketsmackenze1358]

The targa rear glass window is just so sexy 😁

[@EvilChong]

Whoa! Leonard has the No Mans Land poster hanging up in the garage. One of my fav movies and where my love for 911's came from. LEGEND!!

[@The911Den]

Movie should have won an Academy Award!

[@EvilChong]

@@The911Den you sir....are a badass! Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection. Much love from WV

[@The911Den]

@@EvilChong thank you sir

[@nickhelfrich675]

Hoovie! We need some high quality shots of that 928 interior those door cards and armrest gonna make me act up

[@abshassan]

I like your Porsche guy, he seems like a real honest, easy to deal with kind of man. I'm sure he will do a great job on your porsches

[@The911Den]

😊

I think you might have a straight cut 4th gear in the Beck, and if that is the case then the noise is totally normal, just an annoying side effect of straight cut gears

[@geoffreygorski5878]

Rancho trans with side plates. Add a bergfive speed. That will make that transmission perfect

[@stone8597]

Get the soft top on the Targa. I've owned both coupe and Targa. When u drive the Targa with the top off you will get the most annoying drumming from the wind. While driving, the air preasure will build up in the back and with no place to go will make you cazy. I bet driving the Targa with the top on would be great fun!

The collective name for Hoovie's 5 cars is "a disappointment of Porsches"

[@hansgarage1751]

We have you beat... 2017 Macan S (Dorean), 2010 Boxster (Girl Friend), 1999 Boxster (Mistress), 1987 944 Turbo (Ruby), 1982 924 Turbo (aka 931), 1983 944 (carcass) and 1987 924S (race car). Four are driveable, three not so much.

[@RetirementGoals1]

The “No Man’s Land” movie poster. A must watch for Porsche lovers.

A Rhino 5 speed tranny for the kit car would make you a happy camper!

[@jjbythebay]

WOW......that burgundy Targa....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[@The911Den]

Thank you, Ruby Red Metallic

[@rorybailey3279]

How nice was that shed with all the porsche's in it and posters of films old style number plates that place had so much character in it get to hoovies grarage see only a few photos in there

[@michaelrowles1556]

I know the porsches are supposed to be the focus but I couldn't stop drooling over that international scout in the background

[@The911Den]

Good eye!

[@weedfreer]

That scooby engine sounds like the one I used to have which was an un-turbocharged sports wagon It had a low gear range and a standard gear range. When in the low gear range, it sounded great off the line…a bit like a rally car. Problem is, you wouldn’t want to keep it in that range to drive about in as it would drink fuel and max out on revs in no time flat…plus, it would have that kinda whine to it too

[@2Bunphettered788]

I like the garage and workstation. Cozy with plenty of wall posters. 👍 Nice collection of cars too!! 👌

[@The911Den]

thank you kindly❤
