Disclaimer: I’m not much of a financial guy. I barely keep up with the news. I don’t know a lot about the inner workings of the auto industry. Please don’t hate me because of my ignorance. That said… I was thoroughly pissed off most of the morning yesterday as I watched the “Big Three” auto […]

Porsche Christmas Spirit Booster – Day 1
December 5, 2008 by
Sometimes it takes a particular event, picture or experience to get me in the Christmas spirit. For instance, so far this year, it’s been pretty sunny and unseasonably warm outside in Oregon. It doesn’t quite feel like Christmas is only 20 days away. To help get me (and you!) in the mood, I thought I’d […]
10 Porsche Enthusiast Gift Ideas (aka What I want for Christmas!)
December 4, 2008 by
With the holidays quickly approaching, it can always be a little tough to find something suitable for your significant other. My wife always asks me “What do you want for Christmas?” to which I rarely have a decent reply. This year I thought I’d put together a little list of possible Porsche related presents. The […]
Trade a Track Hoe for a Porsche
December 3, 2008 by
It’s interesting to me to see how people value a Porsche. For some, owning just about ANY Porsche would be a once in a lifetime experience. For others, owning a Porsche is akin to, well, owning a small track hoe. Or maybe better put, they’d rather own a small track hoe than a Porsche. Here’s […]
Porsche 997 Video Worth Watching
December 2, 2008 by
The video is a little long for my tastes. The start is cool and the middle when he’s ripping around the airstrip. What a great way to blow a set of tires! Definitely worth watching for the production at the start and the driving.
Blue Sky…Blue Porsche
November 29, 2008 by
Daily Dose of Imagery has a great picture of a blue Porsche 911 set in a tropical scene. Always a bit inspiring, for what, I’m not sure…but inspiring nonetheless.
2009 Porsche 911 Carrera = Classic Porsche
November 28, 2008 by
I was reading a post about the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera this week that solidified in my mind why Porsche will continue to be a strong brand and weather the economic conditions much better than other car manufacturers. The title of the post was Porsche 911 Carrera: There still is no substitute. I can’t think […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008 by
It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the States and I want to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Although it’s just another day, it’s a great reminder to step back and take a look at the things in your life that are going right as well as what’s truly most important to you. […]
VW Takeover? Not so fast…
November 26, 2008 by
Looks like Porsche is stepping a bit slower into its takeover of VW. Porsche Chief Executive Wendelin Wiedeking stated at a news conference recently “Our goal still is to initially increase our stake in VW as soon as possible to over 50%,” but it looks like this will likely not happen in 2008. Funny, Porsche […]
Porsche Cayenne Turbo vs. Red Devil Parachuter Race
November 25, 2008 by
I’ve seen a lot of matchups of one brand verses another. Even supercars versus fighter jets and whatnot. But never a car verses a parachuter. I thought it’d be a bit bogus, but ended up being a pretty decent race. Here’s a link to the video since YouTube won’t let me embed this one: Porsche […]
