Ugliest Porsche Ever

Could this possibly be the ugliest Porsche you’ve ever seen? I found this today on ebay and I have to say it’s appalling. In the auction description, the seller claims that over $150k was invested. What a waste. I just don’t see anything to like about this car. The front looks like a slantnose gone […]

Mario Andretti

I came home yesterday to an issue of Success Magazine that was sent to me in the mail. It’s not a magazine I would normally read (despite my desire to be successful!), but this one happened to have an article on Mario Andretti in it, so I gave it a quick read. Me not being […]

Porsche Wrongness

There’s some things in life that just shouldn’t be. Like a peanut butter and ketchup sandwich for instance. Or wearing driving gloves while piloting your Geo Metro.

Snow: 1 – Porsche: 0

Joe, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers who lives in the Northeast, sent me the following picture this morning taken during his commute: Here’s what he had to say: School was not cancelled today despite all the snow we got in the New Haven area. Drove the boxster to class and almost died like three times! […]

500th Post

Today I’m posting my 500th post on PorschePerfect.com. It’s been just over a year since I started the blog and I can’t believe we’re already hitting the 500 post mark. I’ve been contemplating what to do with this post and was half tempted to just let the milestone go by since I’m guessing that most […]

Porsche 911 2.7 RS Video

I know there aren’t too many people who like the 2.7 engine, but this is one sweet looking car and a great video. I didn’t even know Porsche Experience TV existed. Some great driving footage and narration by the Chief Driving Consultant at one of Porsche’s Experience Centers. I WANT THAT JOB!

Remarkably, I am told, the owner and driver in this video is Willard Kinzer. He is 81 years old, or maybe 81 years young is more appropriate! […]
