I would rather have an older VW Beetle, in decent condition, than a Boxster.

Because of the IMS Bearing failure, with an exception or two, I personally wouldn't buy any Porsche between 1999-2008. A lost generation.

As for a VW Beetle or Porsche 550 replica, I wouldn't own one of those either. But to each his own.

my oldest daughter is 12....I recently started looking at early gen 1 beetle convertibles for a father/daughter project that should last about 4 years

That's actually a good choice of a car. Not sure what area you are in but Mr. Pray who passed a little while back was a local businessman in my area. He had a VW and Porsche dealership among other businesses. He would collect all the early convertibles for later restoration. When Caldor department stores went out of business I let him store about 50 of them inside with some of my cars. I bet he had over 150 of them. He also was a collector of fine autos.



Oh I left out the best part of the James Dean Porsche. It disappeared on the journey back to California from it's publicity tour. No sign of the wreck anywhere! I heard a long time ago Barris was offering a million dollar reward for its return. Wonder if that offer is still good. He should start looking around Banksville, NY.

Uuummmm, sorry, wrong information....I posted the correct (and verified) information a week or so ago.
