Porsche 356 Closer To A Comeback?
I love rumors, well, at least the good kind. Especially when they pertain to future Porsche models. Lyndon recently sent me links to several blogs reporting a possible reborn Porsche 356 Speedster.
60 Years Of Porsche Milestones
Here's the second press release I came across at Porsche Cars North America. Some great milestones over the past 60 years.

Porsche: View From The Cultural Rearview Mirror
This is probably going to seem a bit strange, but I ran across 2 cool press releases today that I found to be pretty interesting. Rather than try and do some fancy re-write, I'm just posting them up in their original form here.

Wooden Porsche 911 Replica
Chalk this up to the weird things Porsche enthusiasts do. Too much passion + Too much money = Stupid crap like this…uhhh…I mean art pieces like this. Maybe I'm missing something obvious though.
Thanks Everyone!!!
Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for pitching in to try and track down the rear wing one of our readers was interested in finding for his 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo. It will come as no surprise to the regulars here that James O is THE MAN once again. He tracked it down as a Porsche factory wing. Thanks James!
Fat Porsche 911 Carrera
Nope, I wasn't going after the slang version of the word to show you how up on youth culture I was 5 years ago. I meant literally FAT. I'm not sure where this car is on display at the moment, but it turns out to be one that's made the rounds to various museums and art shows world wide. The Fat Convertible is the creation of Austrian sculptor Erwin Wurm and just one of a number of "fat" pieces he's done over the last decade.
It's an actual Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet that was sculpted to represent a melding of human obesity with machine. Read more on Fat Porsche 911 Carrera…
Check Out CarsInPedia.com
I was recently put in touch with the owner of a fellow car fanatic's web site through a mutual friend. He wanted to feature PorschePerfect.com on his site as a Link of the Day. I get lots of "link up" requests, most of them crap, but this one turned out to be different.
Low Mileage Porsches: Friend or Foe?
I bookmarked an article on PorschePurist.com a couple of months ago that I just went back and re-read today. Since actively looking for an older 911 Turbo (I'd really like to find a 1978 or 1979 930), I've come across a few cars that qualify for "time capsule" status. Super low mileage and all original. It's renewed a question that has loomed in my mind for years about low mileage Porsches.
Rip Off Cayenne
One of the wild things I remember about a visit to the Philippines when I was in high school was all the rip off stuff they had available for dirt cheap. You could buy the latest cassette tape (sorry, showing my age there), VHS movie, computer software, etc. for pennies on the dollar compared to what it cost in the States. You could also buy Ralph Lauren Polo label clothing for next to nothing and other famous brand accessories for a few bucks.
Someone Watching Over You
Alright, don't hate me for the Lamborghini picture in the house or today's Ferrari washing picture, but this was too good to pass up. Made me laugh. Another one courtesy of Paul.
