Sold the 2nd hottest car ever.
And bought THE hottest car ever.
Some of you know and some don't. I drove to TX thursday night and traded my car. Just got back. 1975 911S Targa. Highlighter yellow, nice suspension ,almost 100% restored. Seeing all the old pics made me want to get something vintage again and not fast.
On the other hand.... what about vintage AND fast?

Drove it back 1100 miles without a hiccup. I did however surprise a few cars on the way back. The thing is a freaking rear engine go kart. So light and responsive it was just amazing. I traded the Galant for it to a guy named Glynn, a minister with a huge passion for cars. Glynn was very upfront and honest about everything we did and the transaction went smooth as ice.
As I said before I loved my Galant but since there are so many cars out there I want but cant have them all at the same time, I gotta do it one by one. I have wanted a 911 since I first saw matchbox cars and silhouettes of them to illustrate the iconic "sports car" look. 13b swapped 911? I had never heard of that one. I mean heck all the 13bs are sitting around since Ls1's took their place. I say put them all in 911s. Light, rev forever, nice balance and of course boost. Ahh it feels amazing to shift a Porsche from 2nd to 3rd at 13psi, 9k rpm, targa off and wail past an 03 Cobra. Wankel would have been proud.
