This was my dad's when I was about 20:
I think it was an '84, which is maybe a 964? I don't know Porsche designations at all.
Anyway, two things:
1. It was the most fun car I've ever played with. He'd let me borrow it a couple days at a time and it was so amazing.
2. His joke was it cost him $1000 every time somebody took it out.
One time my brother borrowed it from my dad. Brother fell asleep, so I grabbed the keys and went ripping around. Then smoke started coming into the interior from somewhere. I got it home, put the keys back where I found them, and brother got blamed for driving too hard. Big win on that one (for me; $1000 for my dad).
Another time my cousin took it out and had the Targa top off. He was trying to "set a land speed record" and the headliner peeled off. Another $1000.
It went on and on like that with that car.
Maximum fun; expensive bill. Rinse and repeat.
My dream is to own a Targa again one day. I don't know Porsches like you guys, but I know that's what I want. I have one trick up my sleeve that may get me there...hopefully I'm not too old by the time I could be able to afford it.
edit to add: Yes, the car was brown. That ugly colour contributed to it being a good deal at the time hah.
