Yahoo Autos Happiness Is Collecting Unloved Porsches and Driving Them Hard
Cyrus Jilla has a few rules for his Porsches: they have to be underdogs, they have to be great colors, and they have to get driven hard.
There are countless ways to build a car collection—brands, models, themes, eras, prices, you name it—but I think you'll agree that Cyrus' approach is a breath of fresh air. Especially in the famously... exacting world of Porsche, where super limited editions and paint-to-sample masterpieces take up so much room in the zeitgeist.
That's why he set out to build a stable of the unloved, the under-appreciated, and the overlooked Porsches: a 1986 944 Turbo, 2004 911 Carrera 4S, 2008 Boxster S Limited Edition, and a 2012 Cayman R. It doesn't matter to him that they're not the fastest or the sharpest—all he cares about is that they're Porsches, and they drive sublime. He calls it the Jelly Belly Collection. We call it one hell of a garage. Check it out in this week's episode of CARISMA on YouTube:
