500th Post

Today I’m posting my 500th post on PorschePerfect.com. It’s been just over a year since I started the blog and I can’t believe we’re already hitting the 500 post mark. I’ve been contemplating what to do with this post and was half tempted to just let the milestone go by since I’m guessing that most [...]

Porsche Panamera Look-Alike

405

Paul over at TheTruthAboutCars.com claims he’s found the inspiration Porsche’s Design Department used when creating the Porsche Panamera: A Bristol 405. The 405 is the only 4-door in the 400 series line and was built between 1955 and 1958. You have to admit, the two do look a bit similar, but I can’t imagine the [...]

A Porsche And A Set Of Golf Clubs

Why do angry wives/lovers/girlfriends have to take out their aggression on a fella’s Porsche?! Can’t they show a little more respect for these cars we all love so much? Why can’t they break a window in a house, take a 7-iron to their man’s TV, or snap that bowling trophy he loves so much? Seriously, [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I searched for a long time for a picture with a turkey and a Porsche in it, secretly hoping for a turkey IN a Porsche (heck, I would have even settled for a toy Porsche IN a turkey!), but no such luck. I guess turkeys just don’t like Porsches. Strangely though, a lot of the [...]

Save the Planet: Drive a Porsche

porsche911-67-1600

One of the “angles” I love to work is how driving a Porsche could in some way save you money, be done for free (or relatively free), or be more cost effective than driving your run-of-the-mill Asian import. So you can imagine my brain went into overdrive when I stumbled across the title above on [...]

Tee It Up…Would You Rather Poll

Another week (or so), another poll. Here are the results: Would You Rather…Have a 1955 Speedster or a 1989 Speedster? 1955 Porsche Speedster: 61% (11) 1989 Porsche Speedster: 39% (7) Total Votes: 18 A pretty evenly matched poll this time around, but in true Porsche spirit, the older car won out. I wonder if anyone [...]

Next “Would You Rather” Poll

We just wrapped up last week’s poll. Here are the results: Would You Rather…Have a Porsche 959 or 2010 Porsche 911 4S? Porsche 959: 41% (7) 2010 Porsche 911 4S: 59% (10) Total Votes: 17 This one surprised me a bit. I expected the 959 to have a bit more support. Course even I don’t [...]

New “Would You Rather” Poll

Not a stellar showing on the last poll, but that’s okay. Those of you who abstained may have to indulge me a bit more this time around and vote, or those who did vote will need to vote multiple times from multiple systems. Otherwise I’m just going to keep finding stupid Porsche related questions to [...]

What To Do With Your Old Porsche 944 Hatchback Window

stumptown-porsche-944-window

This kind of reminds me of those 101 Things To Do With A Dead Cat books from when I was growing up. Salem’s Latte, a little coffee place in Salem, Oregon has come up with a unique use for an old Porsche 944 hatchback window…use it as a drive thru awning. Salem’s Latte is unique [...]

The “Porsche” Treatment

A few months ago, I bookmarked a bunch of Porsche related sites that I intended to get back to way before today. In going through them, I came across a very short write-up by a fella test driving a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. His thoughts on the car weren’t all that interesting, but an [...]
