Here’s a few interesting things I ran across this last week in Porsche related news: Man intentionally crashed into lawyer’s Porsche – Looks like car jacking isn’t the only thing you have to worry about while cruising around in your Porsche. A man in Dallas slammed into a 2009 Porsche Carrera driven by a local […]

If you could have only one Porsche…
January 17, 2009 by
While looking for a Porsche, I’ve run across a lot of cars I’d love to own some day. Everything from an early 911 or 912 that has had a couple of minor updates to a 1995.5 or newer 944. From a 928S or S4 to a late model 911 Turbo. Seems like I’m always seeing […]
Tempting Porsches #6
January 17, 2009 by
I’m sure I’m a glutton for punishment, but I keep seeing these old 911s and 912s that are straight and relatively complete, and think “Wouldn’t it be great to buy one of those and fix it up.” I’m not necessarily looking for a car to restore, that’d require way more ambition than I have. But […]
Memory Lane: Porsche Magazine Covers #2
January 15, 2009 by
This is the second installment in my little walk down memory lane. You can read the first one here. This all came about when I ran across a box of old magazines about Porsche cars in my garage a couple of weeks ago. This week’s magazine is one of my all time favorite magazine covers. […]
Buying A Used Porsche – Books To Check Out
January 14, 2009 by
I picked up a couple of Porsche books as a refresher on buying a used Porsche. Both are longtime staples in the book world on the topic of Porsche and worth reading. Even if you’ve purchased a used Porsche in the past, consider grabbing one or both of these to remind you of things you […]
Giants Fans Destroy Porsche 911 After Game
January 14, 2009 by
There’s nothing like video, and I have a feeling these fans will regret being on this video. This has got to be one of the saddest Porsche related things I’ve seen, not to mention the complete lack of respect for another human being. Get out your box of kleenex and get ready to sob.
Porsche Technology: Variable Turbine Geometry
January 13, 2009 by
I’ll be the first to admit I really don’t know much (okay, I don’t know anything!) about the mechanical workings of a car. I can stumble through a stereo install, maybe change the oil, and drive the thing. That’s about it. I wish I knew more, which is probably why I regularly dream about buying […]
“Rare.” Rare My Asphalt!
January 12, 2009 by
After running across the word “rare” for the hundredth time in Craigslist ads today while looking for a used Porsche 911, I have to say, I’m darn near ready to avoid ANY car where the word “rare” appears in the title or near the price of the car in an ad. My two cents worth: […]
Rocket Enabled Porsche 944 Turbo

This video cracks me up. Quite the tactic for avoiding speeding tickets.
