I remember as a teenager picking up a special edition book from Road & Track called Used Car Classics: A Guide to Affordable Exciting Cars. It provided detailed buying advice on 70 different models of used cars the average person could afford. Of course I bought it and went through it cover to cover. Several […]

July 19, 2015 by
Enthusiast sites tend to get a lot of book review offers. Some are good, some not so much. Consequently, I’ve had this book sitting on my desk for several weeks now. It’s probably one of the largest format books I’ve received so far to review. Unlike run-of-the-mill books that get sent my way, The Pininfarina […]
Porsche 911 Red Book – Handy “Pocket” Reference Tool
June 4, 2015 by
I happened to be looking back through some old posts on the site and came across one that still haunts me to this day. It was a Tempting Porsches post where I mentioned a 1965 Porsche 912 for sale close by for $4500 (Tempting Porsches #24). Could have been a great find, but I didn’t […]

March 7, 2015 by
For anyone who has ever had a new car, or even a new to you car in excellent condition, do you remember what it was like anticipating that first scratch, dent or door ding? My parents always bought new while I was growing up, so I remember going through that phase about every 3 or […]

Porsche: A History of Excellence Review
August 12, 2012 by
When I first cracked open the package from Motorbooks containing a copy of Porsche: A History of Excellence, I knew I was going to like the book just from looking at the cover. On it was a rendering of the Porsche 918 Spyder prototype. Such a great looking drawing on the book. Crack open the […]
Porsche 911 Performance Handbook Review
August 9, 2012 by
After my nearly 30 year love affair with Porsche, it’s interesting to look back over the years to see resources and individuals that continue to be the authority on the brand and it’s enhancement.

Tools Fitting To Touch A Porsche
August 8, 2012 by
I have to admit, I’m not much of a wrench turner. I’d love to know more about what goes on under the hood, but so far, I’m just not one of those guys. I’m learning though, and hope to change my lack of mechanical ability. Knowing that, it’s no surprise that when I cracked open […]
