Two great cars from the mid eighties, and given your location and work, I'm guessing neither of your fun toys will stay stock for very long.
Welcome to CARPOKES and thank you for joining.

Hello Fellow Carpokeians!
Name: Bill Alaimo
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Occupation: Retired Construction Executive
Current Garage Inhabitants: 1986 944 Turbo, 2008 997 Carrera Cabriolet, 2023 Tesla Model 3
Ownership of my first Porsche car involved some effort. In 1983 I took my wife to the dealership to get approval for a new 911 SC. The response was "No, where do I put my shopping?": cry: In 1985, I approached my wife again "Honey, let's go to the Porsche dealership, they now make a stationwagen" after she gave the large rear hatch area a once over, SUCCESS!! and we were the proud owners of an early 85 944.
Now that she was on board and loved the make, 2002 purchased the 944 Turbo, 2009 a 944 S2 Cabriolet, and finally she kept asking in 2018 "what is this Carrera?" so, hint taken, and the 2008 Carrera Cabriolet replaced the S2 Cabriolet.
From time to time, I still think fondly of that 911 SC of my teen year dreams that I missed out on. But then, I still have that wonderful wife by my side. And if not for my 944 turbo and hearing of a 944 get together in NorCal, I would not have met Tom or Crazy Eddy! So, all is good and I am now satisfied to be that old guy in the old Porsche.
