Why Hicks Should Never Touch a Porsche

I am reluctant to put this up, but am going to anyway. If nothing else it will remind us of the countless stories of abuse of Porsche cars that go untold and unpunished. Maybe we should have our own version of Animal Cops…call it Porsche Cops. I’m ready to deputize some people and go stop […]

Here’s a few interesting things from the last week or so… Porsche speeds up India expansion plan – Guess sales are not all bad for Porsche these days. They’re planning on increasing their presence in India from 2 dealerships currently (in Delhi and Mumbai) to 13 total. Rod Wallace from Precision Cars (the official Porsche […]

“Have Porsche…Want To Trade?”

I must be a true Porsche fanatic, because I can’t imagine getting rid of ANY Porsche. I’ve already got a list of Porsches I’d like to own someday. As much as I think I’d just like to own one at a time, I think I’d probably end up being more of a collector sort because […]

RUF – The KING of Porsche Tuners

Well, this is the last post in my 7 Days of Porsche Tuners series, and I’ve saved my personal favorite, and the one I feel is the best, for last. Today’s tuner is RUF, a German (ha! of course!) tuner located in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. RUF was started by Alois Ruf, Sr in 1939 as AUTO […]

Strosek Driving Design

I know I’m a little behind on finishing the 7 Days of Porsche Tuners series, but I think you’ll find I’ve saved a couple of the best for last. Today’s tuner is Strosek. Founded in 1982 by Vittorio Strosek (who is still involved with the company today), Strosek Driving Design started with a redesign of […]

Porsche 911 GT3 Drifting Video

This video is in German, but the footage is well worth watching. The driver does some crazy drifting on some mountain roads. Some of the gutsiest footage in an expensive car that I’ve seen to date. Oh, and I want to learn to do that!

Weekly Porsche Wrap

Porsche owner sues Bridgewater Circuit City over $50,000 damage to his car – This is just crazy to me. A guy who lives in Green Brook, who also owns a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo is saying an employee caused $50,000 worth of damage to the car (depreciation, busted wheel/tire and broken suspension) when he hit […]

Sportec – Swiss Missile Producer

There’s a reason Sportec is considered one of the best, if not THE best Porsche tuner in Switzerland. Their designs are well thought out and their components are of the highest caliber in both fit and finish. The 911 GT2 based car pictured above was dubbed “The Swiss Missle” by one blogger. The Performance stage […]

Techart’s Rolling Art Gallery

I first saw a Techart treatment on a 1982 911 SC (I think I’ve actually had it in one of my Tempting Porsche installments). The owner had applied a 1997 993 Turbo S factory OEM steel body conversion to the car and it looked amazing. Just like a late 90’s 911 Turbo. As it turns […]
