Wayne Freedman lives in San Anselmo with his wife and daughter and has has his Porshe 911 since 1987. The UCLA grad has been a news reporter on San Francisco television for 30 years, and at ABC7 since 1991.
I began wanting a Porsche 911 in 1969, when my father brought me along for a test drive. My staid, conservative dad synched through the gears, slammed through corners and accelerated that car like a rocket ship. It was the first time he showed me his wild side.
The Porsche I bought in 1987 was a lease return with a full-leather, brown saddle interior, including the dashboard.
To this day, "The Black Car," as my future family would call it, remains completely stock except for a lowered front seat that accommodates my height.
It has no dents, no dings, and no significant scratches on the original paint.
My model has neither power steering nor a pneumatic clutch. It's mechanical, measured, visceral and raw.
Many modern automobiles have more creature comforts and go faster, but nothing corners better. And my 911 is part of a royal automotive lineage.
Now, The Black Car has 70,000 quality miles.
