Weekly Porsche Wrap

Some big news this past week for Porsche, just mostly focused around a couple of events: Porsche takes a majority stake in VW – Monday, Porsche announced it had increased its ownership of VW shares to 50.76%. Not surprising news other than the timing. I didn’t expect his to happen until later in 2009. [Via […]

Porsche 997 GT3 RS Photo

My son and I were at the local Porsche dealership the other day and they had a gorgeous 997 GT3 RS sitting outside the service door. My son grabbed my iPhone and snapped some quick pictures for the blog. This is one amazing car! I love the orange accents and wheels on the black base […]

#1 Porsche Deal Right Now: Porsche Boxster

While searching for a Porsche, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at ads, dealerships and eBay trying to get a feel for what’s available on the market, how prices are comparing to blue book prices, and where the best deals are. I already have a decent idea of what I’m looking for, but I’ve […]

Inexpensive Porsches Video

It’s like a wine lover looking for that sub-$5 bottle of wine that competes with the big boys. Who doesn’t want a deal on a used exotic sports car? You may recall my near purchase experience with a 911 Turbo a few weeks ago (Tempting Porsches #3). I just ran across a show TopGear did […]

Here are some things I found interesting and/or entertaining from the last week: Electric Porsche conversions available from Florida company: EvPorsche I wouldn’t be surprised if 2009 is known as the “year of electric cars” as we see more and more of these conversion companies pop up in conjunction with manufacturers offering stock electric versions.
