Sorry for the light reflection I wanted you all to be able to read the text.

I might get it framed. Proof that awesome things did happen during the Reagan years.

I love the 944, and the ads that went along with it.

That said, mine’s pretty slow.

anytime anyone mentions car ads, i have to share this link

its one of my top 3, if not number one favorite car ad ever.

the cognitive dissonance created by what we know as hendrix’s raw intro to purple haze played by the sophisticated sound of a symphony orchestra string section is a perfect realization of the luxo-german brand and the raw performance it holds. combine that with the late 80's interest in “wild life documentary” footage and narration, and an unforgettable ad is made.

i love the 944.

(but i love the 928 more, shhhhh)

There’s a 944 on Craigslist here I keep getting drawn back to. No more cars though!

Stef bait! I would happily daily a 944, they’re really good cars. Some repairs are difficult for the novice, but they’re really well engineered in my opinion. Best to get an ‘86-up with the updated dash.
