If you like Porsches, it’s probably safe to assume you enjoy cars that go fast (unless you one of those people that are looking for a “trophy car”). With the bulk of our posted speed limits at 65 or under, it’s also probably safe to assume that you, just like the rest of us, have […]
“Rare” My Asphalt…Part Zwei (2)
February 10, 2009 by
In case you missed my first “rare” rant, you can see it here: “Rare.” Rare My Asphalt!. I’m sure no one wants to hear my rant about something so trivial, but I’ve really gotten to the point where these dumb little adjectives and descriptive phrases bug me. Besides, you don’t have to read it if […]
Memory Lane Bonus Edition
February 8, 2009 by
Alright, I couldn’t pass this one up. I was putting away the magazines I had used for this series and ran across this one. Of course it HAS to go into the series since it has a 911 Turbo Slantnose on the cover! Another issue of Excellence (obviously) from June 1988. Here are some articles […]

Whale Tail – “The sea was angry that day, my friends.”
January 31, 2009 by
As you may have guessed by now, I have a man crush of sorts on the 911 Turbo. Really any model or year of Turbo. It started many years ago when I first started loving Porsches. It didn’t take long before I discovered the wickedest Porsche of them all (at least from a kid’s perspective)…the […]
Drive a Porsche for Free
January 29, 2009 by
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 […]

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 […]
Memory Lane: Porsche Magazine Covers #3
January 22, 2009 by
This is the third post in my blast from the past found in an old box of magazines in my garage. It’s been fun to glance back through to see what was being reported 20 years ago in the car world and about Porsche specifically. Some great articles to re-read. If you want to catch […]
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 […]
928 GTS Owners Smokin Something???
January 19, 2009 by
Up until tonight, I couldn’t stop wondering what I was missing about 928 GTS models. There is one floating around on Portland Craigslist. It’s pictured above and is a 1993 928 GTS 5-speed. It was recently serviced and has 99,300 miles. Also has 12-way heated seats. I didn’t know you could heat your butt 12 […]
