Fanatec Does The Racing Wheel ONE BETTER!!!
You may recall my review about a month and a half ago of the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Racing Wheel. If you didn't catch the drift of my review, I absolutely LOVED the wheel setup and felt it was the best I'd ever tried. As crazy as this may sound, Fanatec has outdone themselves with yet another wheel and pedal setup I've been playing with lately. It's the Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS Wheel.
Porsche Design P'6612 Dashboard Le Mans 1970 Limited Edition Watch
I've mentioned before that I'm a big watch fan. I'm not any sort of a collector, but I appreciate a fine time piece and would love to have the means to buy one or two on my list. You can guess, then, that I'm all for any reason that comes up for Porsche Design to create a special edition watch. This is a heck of an occasion.

Porsche Club of America TAG Heuer Watch
Two things that I absolutely love are pens and watches. My wife really doesn't get it and just shakes her head when I start talking about some cool watch I saw or a pen I'd love to have in my little collection. Unfortunately, when you are mesmerized by things like pens and watches, the habit is not a cheap one. You get to view from afar much more often than enjoy ownership. Hmmm, sounds a lot like my love affair with Porsche.
Activision Blur Game Review
We haven't covered too many non-Porsche specific things over the life of this blog, but every once in a while something comes along that I think is worth mentioning to fellow auto enthusiasts. Especially those interested in sports cars like Porsche. Despite the recent number of video game related things I've posted about, this is not a video game blog, however…
Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Racing Wheel Review
For as long as I've been playing video games (admittedly a long time), I've loved playing racing games. They've always been my favorite. Pole Position was probably the first "real" racing game I got addicted to. I played it until I could finish it consistently every time on a single quarter. From that point on, I'd gravitate towards the racing games any time I had the opportunity to choose. Some of my favorite times in the past 10 years was going to Chuck E. Cheese when the kids were little. Everyone else would be in school/at work, and we'd get bag fulls of tokens for free (thanks to my wife's savvy couponing skills) and just go nuts. I would pump token after token into different driving games.

Porsche Christmas List Addition
Still can't figure out what to get the Porsche enthusiast in your life? Have I got a suggestion for you! How about a one of a kind (at least that I know of) Porsche Table?!
Last Minute Porsche Christmas Gifts
This year Christmas has snuck up on me a bit. I've actually intended to write a post highlighting some Christmas gifts for the Porsche enthusiast for almost a month now. For some reason, though, I haven't gotten around to it. Couple that with my tendency to procrastinate and, well, you'll have a good picture of what a frantic mess the week before Christmas (next week!!!) will be for me.
Porsche Design Contest Winner's Bounty
Since neither of the people I sent Winner's Bounty to for our little Porsche spotting contest have responded on the blog with thoughts or comments about what I sent them (Andrea, our winner, and Ruthless Bookie, who put in a day taking pictures to make this happen), that means either they didn't receive what I sent or think the prize sucked. I'm guessing it's the latter which is okay, but I did want to at least let everyone know what was up for grabs.
What Porsche Sent Me…From the Inner Sanctum
I'm sure many of you are going to laugh. You might even call me a fool before it's all done, but Porsche made me feel like one special guy late last week. I got home from work only to find a package waiting for me from The Motherland…well, the North American version of The Motherland. After looking at it for a few, trying to figure out what they had sent me, I finally opened it up to find the following nicely wrapped box:
Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS Wheel/Pedal Setup
I would have to say, and I'm venturing to guess that pretty much everyone will agree with me, that the next best thing to actually DRIVING the Porsche of your dreams like a GT3 RS is driving a gaming version of the car. For me, though, one of the rubs of playing racing games is the wonky controllers you have to use that don't even come close to replicating the driving experience.
