Which to Buy: a Porsche or a Glass Speaker?

In keeping with the bizarre things I’ve run across involving Porsches (remember the person who wanted to trade his Porsche for a track hoe?), tonight I found another strange one. This time, it was on a blog called crave. The question was posed “A Porsche or glass speaker for $168,000?”. Crazy huh? Looks like the [...]

Diesel Porsche…What the heck???

cayenne_diesel

You know by now I, along with many other people, am not a big fan of the Cayenne.  Well, at least the stock Cayenne (see this post on edo Competition’s Cayenne).  So when I read Porsche’s official press release late last month about the Cayenne diesel, of course my first thought was “Now the Cayenne [...]

It’s a Great Time To Love Porsche

Disclaimer:  I’m not much of a financial guy.  I barely keep up with the news.  I don’t know a lot about the inner workings of the auto industry.  Please don’t hate me because of my ignorance. That said… I was thoroughly pissed off most of the morning yesterday as I watched the “Big Three” auto [...]

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera = Classic Porsche

VW Takeover? Not so fast…

Looks like Porsche is stepping a bit slower into its takeover of VW. Porsche Chief Executive Wendelin Wiedeking stated at a news conference recently “Our goal still is to initially increase our stake in VW as soon as possible to over 50%,” but it looks like this will likely not happen in 2008. Funny, Porsche [...]

Visit to Porsche Factory

When my wife and I were first married, we lived in Germany for about two and a half years. It was a once in a lifetime experience that produced a lot of great memories. One of the most memorable experiences was visiting the Porsche factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany and specifically the factory museum. I was [...]

Porsche Cayenne Pepper???

porsche_cayenne

I have to be honest, every time I come across a Porsche Cayenne, my eyes burn a bit from the sight of the Porsche badge on such an ugly Porsche manufactured car.  I know I’m not alone in this given all of the press the Porsche Cayenne has gotten over the last 7 or 8 [...]
