Few designs are as iconic or universal as the 993 Porsche 911.
It's air cooled, it's simple, it's cool, it's purpose-built, it's incredibly fast, and it's timeless. Something about the aesthetic resonates with people, including me. It's rebellious, yet refined, it's for burning tires, and generating smiles. I'd like to think your son would like to take this car to prom, and the next day, you'd take it for a rip in the canyons, and garner the respect of both fancy guys in Ferraris, and burly Harley Davidson bikers. Something about these cars speaks to people, indiscriminately. Few designs are able to do so, I think that's why this one, is so special.
