It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of the Porsche Speedster. Both the 356 iterations (who doesn’t love the Porsche 356 Speedster?!) and the 911 Speedsters in more recent years. When Porsche announced the latest Porsche 911 Speedster, I have to say I fell instantly in love. Everything from the styling to the bright […]

The classic autos that I actually like, which is few and far between unless you consider cars from the 80’s to be classics (ouch!), I pretty much only like the original versions of. Replicas feel like “what’s the point” to me. Kind of like drinking decaf […]
