Introduction

San Francisco, California -May 2021

In May 2018, we took a road trip to San Luis Obisbo and just happened to see this very new-looking 928 sitting on the Monterey Porsche lot. We got in, and Rachael’s first words were, “I love this car.” I had never driven a Porsche in my life, let alone a 928, and had only a vague understanding of how cars worked, but I know about beautiful things and have always considered the 928 one of the best-looking cars ever made.

So, without any documentation or a pre-purchase inspection, I took the 58k miles on the odometer, and my gut feeling that this was a loved car as guidance and started to negotiate. (Turns out I was right when months later I uncovered the entire stack of receipts, manuals, and window sticker.) Now, two years later, we have three cars built in the ’80s, and I am learning about the insides of cars from some generous and knowledgeable people on, and more importantly, off the internet. Hands-on education with passionate people, kinda what life is all about.

This project attempts to bring more people into that reality by connecting beautifully preserved cars to enthusiastic potential buyers. We should all love what we drive.
