Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 1

Not too long ago, I ran into an acquaintance, and we started discussing Porsches. Without asking what I currently own, he went into a rant about what constitutes a "real" Porsche. He proceeded to impart his wisdom regarding the, as he called it, the other 9's. In his words, the not-so-Porsche-like models included the 924, 928, 914, 944, and so on. I had to grin at the suggestion that those models were not Porsche's but rather some experiment gone wrong. After defending the "other 9's" to this misguided dude, who, by the way, has never owned a Porsche in his life, I decided to do some research on how Porsche's lesser-well-known other children came to be. There are countless fans and proud owners of other Porsche's that aren't the 911, and happily, we are all one big dysfunctional Porsche family.
