Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Being that a majority of us Porsche 996 owners judging by the response on the profession thread seem to be over 35 years old. I thought it would be interesting to post a nostalgia remembrance to when I got enthusiastic after seeing a Porsche 911 on screen. I would be interested in hearing what Movie or TV series maybe got you enthusiastic after seeing that 911 on the screen. I know it may not be as well known as that Ferrari 308 in the 80's, But I know what you you are saying that if I had just listen to that little voice in my head saying that Rick, T.C. and even Higgins would say it should have been just as famous - See what I just did there, HHHaaaaa! HHHaaa! nothing? ok I better just move on - Especially since I probably just annoyed at least half of you! BTW little known fact that the paint scheme on T.C's Island Hoppers Helicopter was a factory paint scheme. Ok now I lost the other half of you - This is why my wife prefers I just pay for things and not talk to others!
For me it was 1984 and the Movie was Against All Odds (Yes, the phil collins song also did play at the end!)
The scene where Jeff Bridges and James woods go head to Head down that busy street until that Garbage truck put an end to it!
What's yours?
Entourage...when Ari's wife gave him a Ferrari for their anniversary and then he got into a street race with a competing agent who drove a 997.
The 997 kicked the Ferrari's a$$, but I was still rooting for Ari. Love that guy...

Not sure, but I seem to remember the show Newhart (not to be confused with The Bob Newhart show of the 70's although this was a spinoff if i remember correctly) where they own a Inn in Connecticut had a Business owner next to them that owned the coffee shop named Kirk (Steven Kampmann) that use to date the young lady that was the Inn's house keeper and he had a Brown 911 on the show.
"Class" starring Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthey.
The red Porsche conv.
Always made me cringe when the girl throws up in it!
Then Rob Lowe is shown washing it out using a hose on the interior...Oh boy there go the electronics!
Someone can bring up pics, I'm bad with that....
Not a 911, but this has to be the top of mountain of brand placement for Porsche...

Also, this one ranks right up there, especially for us 966 owners...

The street race scene in Entourage was a homage to the original scene from 'Against All Odds.
Mine was Ken Wahl jumping a 911 over the Berlin Wall in 1982's 'The Soldier'
Class with Rob Lowe as a rich kid in a private school. His friend pukes in it and he hoses the entire inside out with a hose lol. It was a red 930 i believe. Convertible too.

I am totally cool with opening it up to any Porsche, if it is cool with you all! - Good call!
If not I might have been tempted to relive the 70's and 80's shows that starred a Ken-worth, Coyote, and Stingray to relive my youth which I know none of you would put up with! (Could of brought up that Black Van with a rear spoiler - not sure what I am referring to yet? well lets just say I pity the fool!)
When I bought my 996 I took it to show a good freind. My freind has a little boy 3-4 ish... He came out of the house and yelled "Sally" at the sight of my 996.
"Run" with a very young Patrick Dempsey & Kelly Preston. Dempsey plays a hotshot, poker-playing college student who gets a gig to deliver a new Porsche to its owner in another city and the car breaks down in a corrupt hick-town and ends up at odds with the town big-shot bad guy. While on the "run" he meets and gets help from Kelly Preston. This is actually a pretty decent movie.
Going a bit fast for break-in timeframe, eh?
Dempsey has a history of Porsches in his shows and movies. IIRC, he even dies from his Cayenne getting hit by an 18-wheeler in the TV show Grey's Anatomy.
Good gearheads article about him here:

Of course the 928 in Risky Business comes to mind but also Wyatt's 928 in Weird Science.
Then there was this crazy 911 in the Cannonball Run.
But, really, the car that made me fall in love with Porsche was the 944. Damn right I wanted to be Jake...but only because I wanted his car!
Yes! The car used in the 'slow driving scenes' was Michael Bay's 1994 Turbo but they rented another for the final scenes where Martin Lawrence drove away from the firey explosion in the warehouse and then through the opening in the wall at the end of the Miami Airport runway.
The sound engineer worked hard to capture the turbo's engine sound as Lawrence accelerated to catch the Cobra and I think he nailed it.
Great, great scene.
Just watched part of "Downhill Racer" with Redford last night. His GF drove an orange 911 aggressively, but not as much as when he got behind the wheel. Movie was made in 1967, so obviously it was an early model.
1980's movie 'Commando' with Arnie Schwatzeneger about 20mins into the film there's a great chase scene with a Yellow targa Porsche ... That was it for me.

And well, not a movie...but a classic, original video with music is over 10 years old. I think I saw it right out of HS, and I immediately wanted me a 911 so I can do the same thing in it.
