Air Design used to spend hours every day manually calling their 600 members to schedule seasonal tune-ups.

They turned on Podium's AI Membership Coordinator. It contacted 471 members, booked 187 jobs, and generated $24,000 in revenue.

Across home services, the story repeats.

Magnolia Plumbing cut invoice-to-payment time to 6 minutes and saved 60 hours of admin work every month.

This is what Podium's AI Operating System does: phones answered, jobs booked, invoices collected — automatically, without adding headcount.

If your schedule isn't packed this summer, it can be.

See How It Works

You don't realize you've made it the day you buy your dream car.

You realize it on an ordinary Saturday.

The garage door is open.

The toolbox is on the floor.

Your kids are laughing, playing with the hose while they get ready to wash a Porsche that was built before they were born.

The golf clubs are already in the passenger seat after the morning round with your friends.

Dinner with your wife is an event you plan, with the car carrying you, top down, as the day fades.

And for a little while, there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

That's what I imagine when I look at this car. I'm willing to bet you can see it too.

We've painted the picture.

Now let's talk about how we got here.

When Porsche introduced the 993 in 1994, the goal was simple: build the best 911 the company had ever made.

The body was smoother. The chassis was stronger. A new multi-link rear suspension made the car more stable and forgiving, while the air-cooled flat-six kept the unmistakable character enthusiasts had loved for decades.

By almost every measure, Porsche succeeded.

Then history elevated the car even further.

The 993 became the last air-cooled 911 Porsche would ever build.

When production ended in 1998, every new 911 that followed switched to water cooling as stricter emissions standards and growing performance demands pushed air-cooled engines to their limit.

What began as Porsche's attempt to build the best 911 yet eventually became one of the most celebrated 911s ever made.

It has the mechanical feel and unmistakable sound of an old Porsche, yet it's modern enough to start on a Saturday morning, drive to the golf course, cruise to dinner, and do it all again the next weekend.

This is where everything comes together.

The first thing you notice is the shape.

The wide rear hips. The upright headlights. The gentle curves that have become unmistakably Porsche. More than thirty years later, the 993 still looks timeless.

Then you settle into the driver's seat and understand why so many enthusiasts refuse to let theirs go.

Behind the rear axle sits a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six producing between 272 and 282 horsepower, depending on the model year. It sends power to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a Tiptronic automatic, reaching 60 mph in around 5.3 seconds.

By today's standards, those numbers are modest.

The experience isn't.

The steering is alive with feedback. Every shift feels deliberate. Every input has weight.

The Cabriolet adds another dimension.

With the top folded away, every sound becomes part of the drive. The unmistakable hum of the air-cooled flat-six, the wind rolling through the cabin, and the world around you become part of the experience instead of something separated by glass.

It's quick enough to make a back road memorable.

Comfortable enough to spend an afternoon behind the wheel.

And engaging enough that you'll find yourself taking the long way home more often than not.

That's why the 993 has aged so gracefully.

It was built to keep its owner smiling for decades.

The Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet has earned its place as one of the most recognizable classic sports cars in the world.

Its timeless design and status as the final air-cooled 911 have made it a regular fixture at concours events, Cars & Coffee gatherings, and Porsche celebrations across the globe.
