This is the third post in my blast from the past found in an old box of magazines in my garage. It’s been fun to glance back through to see what was being reported 20 years ago in the car world and about Porsche specifically. Some great articles to re-read. If you want to catch […]
Used Porsche Prices Round 2
January 21, 2009 by
I’m still a little baffled at some of the prices I’m seeing for used Porsches. Especially older ones. Here’s a couple of examples: This is a 1982 911 with this as the ad: A very nice car. All has been rebuilt and upgraded. I would prefer to trade for property or Porsche 993. He’s asking […]
Buy A House, Get A Free Porsche
January 20, 2009 by
So far it’s only the builders I’ve seen giving away free cars if you’ll buy one of their houses. One of the builders in my neighborhood was offering a free Toyota Prius if you purchased one of the new homes on the street. It must be working, because now we’re seeing other sellers jump on […]
928 GTS Owners Smokin Something???
January 19, 2009 by
Up until tonight, I couldn’t stop wondering what I was missing about 928 GTS models. There is one floating around on Portland Craigslist. It’s pictured above and is a 1993 928 GTS 5-speed.

This video is a little different than normal. I ran across it on YouTube and thought the camera angles were pretty cool and different than what you would normally see. It was shot using a Motorsports Hero Camera with a 170 degree wide-angle lens.

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 […]
