I have a buddy that used to buy and sell used cars. He would always find a great deal on all kinds of cars. Some of my favorites were several Porsches (a 944, a slant nose 911 Turbo look, and a 911SC), a Corvette, and a Mercedes 450SL. The amazing thing was his ability to […]
Memory Lane: Porsche Magazine Covers #4
January 29, 2009 by
We’re on the 4th installment of “Old Guy Looking At Old Porsche Magazines”. What can I say…I don’t get out much. If you want to see the first three posts, you can read them here: Memory Lane #1, Memory Lane #2 and Memory Lane #3. This week’s magazine is one of the few that made […]
Win My Porsche 911 Cabriolet
January 28, 2009 by
Today Stuttgart got the grand opening of the Porsche Museum. We thought John Q Public (aka the Fine Readers of PorschePerfect.com) needed something special on this monumental day since you won’t be getting into the Porsche Museum for another couple of days. If you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you know […]
GT3 Reaction Video
January 26, 2009 by
This is a Porsche preview video for the GT3. Instead of the usual external shots of the car, they mounted a camera in the passenger seat and gave people rides. Great perspective. One of my favorite shots is when the people look over to see how fast they’re going.
New Member of the PorschePerfect.com Family Has Arrived!
January 23, 2009 by
A pretty exciting day has arrived for me. The love affair with Porsche that started with a test drive in a white 944 when I was 15 resulting in a nearly 24 year pursuit of Porsche ownership, has finally culminated in a monumentous event: The purchase of a Porsche! After months of looking, numerous test […]
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 […]
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. […]
