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 […]
Are You A Flasher?
March 25, 2009 by
I’m a guy who likes comraderee (WordPress is trying to tell me that’s not even a word!). One of the mystiques of the Porsche brand, for me, was the kinship that you share with other Porsche owners. The one or two finger wave. Flashing your lights. Giving a little honk on the horn. It was […]
Porsche 914 Comeback???
March 23, 2009 by
I’ve heard rumblings (along with grumblings) about a possible comeback of the Porsche 914. And by comeback, I mean re-release. It kind of reminds me of the year we started seeing 280Z’s start to disappear. What I heard was that Nissan was buying them up to rebuild, then re-release. Kind of a cool concept although […]
Drive the Porsche of Your Dreams
March 16, 2009 by
Ever think that owning the Porsche of your dreams won’t ever happen? After all, we’re talking in some cases about a car stretching upwards of $200,000. Heck, for a lot of us, thinking about buying a run-of-the-mill car in the $15k to $20k range can seem more than a bit daunting. I read an interesting […]
Lost Your Porsche 911?
March 2, 2009 by
What do all of these things have in common? They were all left at Travelodge hotels during 2008. So if you’re looking for your keys to your Porsche 911, yep, maybe you left them at the Travelodge. As it turns out the company is taking a bite out of the upscale hospitality business. Or at […]
Youth Take “Economic Stimulus” Into Their Own Hands
February 27, 2009 by
This is a pretty sad story. Right up there with the load of Porsches getting hit by a train and the fans finishing off the Porsche 911 that had caught on fire after a football game. It seems there is a movement against people who own nice German cars in Berlin. One gal returned from […]
Overindulgent Dreaming
February 24, 2009 by
I had a few extra minutes this morning, so what do you think I did with them? Yep, that’s right…spent them on the Porsche.com site! I decided I’d try to see how expensive of a Porsche I could build out. Since the base price of the 911 is the highest, I started there. Within the […]
Dealership of the Century: Gran Prix Imports
February 18, 2009 by
This is a bit off the usual topic, but I have to jump on the Compliment Soapbox for a minute and talk about Gran Prix Imports in Wilsonville, Oregon. I just swung by there to ask Jay Bernard, their Service Manager, a couple of Ferrari questions. I took my daughter with me who is absolutely […]
Uber Porsche Geek Stuff
February 17, 2009 by
I was on the Porsche site yesterday looking for something for a post and stumbled across some sweet Porsche downloads. Each model (at least in the 911 lineup) has a Gallery section where you can download different lifestyle and motion images of the car in various sizes. Now I know this is hinting at what […]
3 Ways to Enjoy a Porsche Mini Drive
February 13, 2009 by
It’s pretty easy to get locked up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life. Raising a family. Running a business. Working hard every day. Or whatever it is that takes a solid chunk of your time. Even though driving a Porsche every day is a dream come true for me, it hasn’t changed my […]
