The Autobahn

For a fella who likes fast cars and going fast, there are few things more exciting than a jaunt on Germany’s Autobahn. My “first time” was about 17 years ago and was both a nerve racking and exhilarating experience. I had always liked going fast (“fast but safe” as I liked to call it), but […]

Porsche Story

Haven’t had a Porsche story in a while, so this was a nice treat to have someone share a bit. This story is from Bob. Enjoy… As with most young boys, when I was growing up, I had a favorite car … one that would turn my head every time. Mine was the Porsche 911 […]

2011 Porsche Cayenne Spotted

WorldCarFans.com has some spy shots of the 2011 Porsche Cayenne along with a video of one driving around the snow covered hills of Germany (I’m assuming) earlier this year. Judging from the photo above, it doesn’t look like the exterior is vastly different. Updated tail lights and maybe a little sleeker. I haven’t seen many […]

Tired of Your Porsche? Try an 18K Diamond Rolex!

I haven’t had any great Porsche trade posts for a while. Today I came across an interesting one. A fella has what he claims is a $40,450 Rolex Presidential Day-Date in 18K gold he wants to trade for a Porsche 911 (or “911 Porsche” as he called it). Here’s the Craigslist ad: I will trade […]

Porsche 911 Turbo Driving Video

This is pretty cool video with a driver and an instructor in a 911 Turbo on a Supercar Experience Driving Day. It would be a blast to do one of these some time and I bet would make a huge difference in your driving abilities.

Paul’s Trip – Day 1 Sighting

Paul is on a vacation with his family. As he makes his trek across our great nation and back, he’s promised to send pictures of Porsches he spots along the way. Here is our first sighting from Morgan Hill, CA. It’s a 944, and from the back, it looks like an ’83-’85 vintage. Just my […]

Weekly Porsche Wrap

Porsche on 25 most iconic cars of the past 20 years – Thanks to Joe for sending this over. BusinessWeek put together an interesting iconic cars list. Not sure if they’re listed in order per se. If so, Porsche is listed as #22. Like Joe, I don’t agree with Porsche being so far down the […]

Weekly Photo Highlight

This week’s photo highlight is a little more subtle. I had a hard time expanding my horizon’s beyond the “sunsets and Porsches” photos I usually gravitate towards. The more I looked at this picture, the more I liked it. I’m not a big fan of the LeMans cars, or racing cars in general. I think […]

Tempting Porsches #17

Today’s Tempting Porsche is one I actually bid on. SOOOO tempting. I’m sad to say I didn’t win it, but glad to say I didn’t overbid it! It’s a 1977 930 (911 Turbo) I found on eBay Motors. It’s brown, with a mostly brown interior. Here’s a little bit of the description: This is a […]

Ultimate Car List Top 5 – Pick #3

My 3rd pick was a pretty tough one. I debated about several cars, but then decided on a RUF car. Narrowing it down to one RUF model proved to be as tough as settling on RUF in the first place, but I finally decided on an Rt 12. If I were choosing a year it […]
