Hi all,    My 1995 Porsche 911 broke down last weekend. It was running fine and then stuttered a few times like the ignition cut out.    It went away, came back, and eventually the car just died. Most of the electrical system still worked, but the car would not crank.    I used my Hagerty Drivers Club roadside benefit (thank goodness) to flatbed to a friend's house.
