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 […]

January 20, 2013 by

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 Buyer’s Guide Review
March 10, 2009 by
I just finished reading through the Porsche 911 Buyer’s Guide by Randy Leffingwell. I’ve actually had the book for a while, but previously only referred to particular sections related to 911s I was considering buying. Now you may write this off as not applicable to you unless you’re in the market for a used 911. […]
