OT: anybody have a Porsche 924 before?

[soltwede@privateI.com (Night Shadow)]

They are crap basically.  Parts are extreamly expensive, and build quality
was not very good.  The motor, is a 2.0 8v audi/vw hybrid motor that isn't
known for its reliability...it is known for leaking like a sive and
providing little power however.  base 924s aren't worth squat.  A 924S
though...thats different, 924S is the small light body, but with the 944
drive train and running gear....
