45 years of Love and Restoration
After being disappointed by my last two girlfriends, I made a command decision to become a happy Bachelor and pursue my passions of driving Porsches and flying gliders… After much deliberation, I fell hard for a Silver Porsche 924 on the sales floor and was awestruck by its sleek lines…I removed the sunroof and headed west to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the wind in my face, and feeling the cool mountain air, I was finally forgetting my past relationships as I kept climbing higher and higher. My Porsche was talking to me, and I loved it!
“I had never owned a Porsche before, nor had I ever flown gliders either.”
- Darell SchmidtI made my second decision to pursue flying gliders. The ground crew connected a tow rope to my glider to tow me up to my desired altitude. I pulled a red knob on the instrument panel to release the tow rope. I broke free from the tow plane and experienced the solitude and the freedom of powerless flight. I was free again and roamed the skies every weekend, searching for that elusive lift as the sun warmed my cockpit with only the wind caressing my wings. I was leaving Black Forest Glider Port after flying my glider aloft for two hours and noticed a rainbow over the Rocky Mountains. Looking for new beginnings, I decided to navigate towards the Rainbow. I knew the Rainbow was drawing me nearer and nearer and would soon relinquish its gold!

The Porsche 924 becomes the Porsche 924S
How do you make a great car greater? Increase the horsepower by putting in a bigger engine! That is exactly what Porsche did in 1987 and 1988. What started as a low horsepower car with 95 horsepower, became quick on its feet with a new engine producing 147 horsepower. It used the engine from a very popular Porsche 944 model and installed it in the Porsche 924. And Voila, the Porsche 924 S was born!
