I’m venturing to guess that I’m not the only one who loved the movie Top Gun. I’d also be willing to bet that the movie propelled the 356 Speedster into more hearts than just mine (even though it WAS a replica). I remember thinking “I love this car!” every time I saw the movie. At […]
E-Porsche…Silent but Deadly
December 18, 2008 by
We’ve seen some electric Porsches surface from time to time. Well meaning Porsche enthusiasts applying their engineering prowess and desire to greenify our favorite brand. Everything from 914s to 944s and 911s to 356s have been electrified by “green” Porscheophiles. At least they’re doing something reasonable with their Porsches unlike the Porsche 928 Pickup conversion. […]
Tempting Porsches #2
December 12, 2008 by
I haven’t seen many tempting Porsches the last few weeks. Cars I would seriously consider buying, but also are a bit on the bubble when compared to other cars on the market. Lately these have fallen more into the questionable history (rarely a good thing with a Porsche) or need work (definitely not a good […]
Porsche Christmas Spirit Booster – Day 3
December 7, 2008 by
Old cars, but I love the white cars set against the white winter day. Reminds me of some Porsche marketing pictures from the mid-80s.
Trade a Track Hoe for a Porsche
December 3, 2008 by
It’s interesting to me to see how people value a Porsche. For some, owning just about ANY Porsche would be a once in a lifetime experience. For others, owning a Porsche is akin to, well, owning a small track hoe. Or maybe better put, they’d rather own a small track hoe than a Porsche. Here’s […]
Porsche 997 Video Worth Watching
December 2, 2008 by
The video is a little long for my tastes. The start is cool and the middle when he’s ripping around the airstrip. What a great way to blow a set of tires! Definitely worth watching for the production at the start and the driving.
Blue Sky…Blue Porsche
November 29, 2008 by
Daily Dose of Imagery has a great picture of a blue Porsche 911 set in a tropical scene. Always a bit inspiring, for what, I’m not sure…but inspiring nonetheless.
2009 Porsche 911 Carrera = Classic Porsche
November 28, 2008 by
I was reading a post about the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera this week that solidified in my mind why Porsche will continue to be a strong brand and weather the economic conditions much better than other car manufacturers. The title of the post was Porsche 911 Carrera: There still is no substitute. I can’t think […]
911 Slantnose Turbo Cabriolet
November 22, 2008 by
In my quest for a Porsche, I ran across this 1976 911 Slantnose Cabriolet that also had the wide body Turbo look with flared fenders and whale tail. A 1984 3.0 liter had been dropped into the car along with a few other minor improvements. The car was in decent shape with the usual external […]
Tempting Porsches #1
November 20, 2008 by
I’ve primarily been checking Craigslist.com for used Porsches online. Time has prevented me from looking too seriously for a car at this point, but I’m trying to at least get an idea of what’s out there. I’ve seen a fair number of decent cars, but aside from Boxsters and Cayennes, screaming deals have been a […]
