I just love the sound and smell of air cooled 911's, especially the early 2.0L-2.4L cars, carbureted even better.
Sound is half the reason why air-cooled cars are so expensive. They sound like angry tractors, and I love it. New Porsches sound like wheezy Subarus in comparison (though I have to say I still loved the sound of my NA Cayman...at least from inside, outside was a little lame).

It's partly why I find it hard to get excited about electrification. While the acceleration is great, they all sounds pretty soulless.
