Is there a Porsche 911 that looks like a 1998 Carrera?
It is possible to “update” a 1971 911T to look just like a 1998 Carrera 2S, and it’s also possible to “backdate” a 1994 911 Carrera to look like a classic 1973 Carrera RS. Both of these offenses against human decency have occurred many times, incidentally.

During the Porsche’s 40,000 miles with us, we spent $1025 on scheduled maintenance, $960 on snow tires, and $842 on replacement summer tires.

On the other hand, this latest-generation 911 cost about $250 less to maintain than our last long-term air-cooled 911 Carrera (July 1996).
