Fat Porsche 911 Carrera

fat-porsche

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 [...]

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. The site, [...]

Low Mileage Porsches: Friend or Foe?

porsche-993-turbo-s-black-1997

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. [...]

Rip Off Cayenne

Huatai-B35-Cayenne-0

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 [...]

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.

Speeding

My wife came across this picture on a blog recently and it sent my imagination into overtime. I’d never have the guts to do it, and it would be royally stupid to try, but something like this would be a heck of an “experiment” in your Porsche. Makes you wonder what the top speed those [...]

A Real Porsche OR The Porsche Of Golf Carts???

02TheGariaEditionSoleildeMinuit

Sweet MOTHER! That’s all I can think to say about this Porsche of golf carts. It’s a Garia Edition Soleil de Minuit, and fully decked out, goes for $52,000. That officially qualifies it for the top spot on the list of world’s most expensive golf carts. Don’t have 52 G’s to drop? No worries, you [...]

My Day IN the Races

need-for-speed-shift

I mentioned yesterday that PCA members could sign up to race Hurley Haywood in Need For Speed Shift online (PCA Members Can Race Against Legendary Hurley Haywood). Today was the big day and even though I posted about it yesterday, I completely forgot to get the game. When the email came through this morning, I [...]

A Car Enthusiast’s Dream House

car-house-outside

Paul sent me a link to the house pictured below today, and now I can’t stop thinking about it, so I figured it was post-worthy even though it doesn’t feature a Porsche specifically. The architect of this house in Tokyo was tasked with designing a stylish pad with all the latest amenities befitting of the [...]

World’s Most Dangerous Roads

stelvio-pass-north-ramp

Deep down inside, I think every car enthusiast longs to conquer a challenging road. Whether it’s a drive through the Alps or a jaunt up old Highway 1 along the coast, there’s just something about the open road and the thrill of driving through twists and turns. I love driving twisty roads in a 911 [...]
