As I start to spend more time in the online forums dedicated to high-end sports cars and the "luxury lifestyle" (such as Rennlist, TeamSpeed, etc.) I've started to see what might be a disturbing trend. It would seem that, taken at face value, a great number of Porsche owners also collect watches, guns and bourbon. The funny scary thing is, those …
Continue to the full articleHow A Flat Tire and a Love of Porsche Sparked a Revolution in Flashlights
It was cold, it was dark and that loud thump THUMP made it fairly obvious that Ronald Durando's Porsche had a flat tire. As an experienced Porsche driver, and a prepared one at that, Ron wasn't worried. Not only did he know how to change a flat tire, he was prepared for almost all contingencies with an emergency repair kit, including a flashlight …

If, like John, you plan on trying to live in a bubble for the next week and not read or hear about yesterday's ALMS results until you can watch it for yourself (it's being aired on CBS next Saturday the 29th in an edited and tape delayed format) then you don't want to read this message. If, on the other hand, you're like me and live in the real …
Continue to the full articleWho Are Porsche’s Competitors?
More to the point, what competes with the Porsche 911? We think about this question a lot, probably more than we should. The problem is, at least in my mind, there isn't an easy answer. Sure, some Porsche models such as the Boxster, Cayenne or Panamera can easily (but not necessarily correctly) be compared to models from other brands (BMW Z4, …
Continue to the full articleWhat’s Your Favorite Porsche and Why?
When we first started this site we were a bit myopic in our view of Porsche. We were all about air-cooled Porsches and focused even more narrowly on 993s alone. Over the past three years (yes, we've been doing this just about that long now) as PorschePurist has grown, so has our love affair with all types of Porsches. Not only have we added a …
Continue to the full articleHere’s a Piece of Porsche PR Worth Watching
Since April 19th we've received close to 20 different press releases (possibly more, but I think I may have deleted a few) from Porsche's PR department. Generally, we publish most of them, but we don't necessarily send them out in our newsletters (remember this post about stealth publishing). I figure if we published and sent out a newsletter …
Continue to the full articleOne Way to Find the Porsche of your Dreams
For a lot of us, the Porsche of our "dreams" is not always a new Porsche. It might be a used Porsche. For some it's an air-cooled classic (Porsche 356, early 911, 930, 993, etc.), or a low-mileage, highly optioned late 996 or early 997, while others may be interested in something like a 928 GTS, a limited edition Boxster, or tricked out Cayman …
Continue to the full articleWant to Watch 7 Minutes of Porsche Fun?
I do, so I thought you might too. This might just be one big promotion for Porsche, but who cares (in fact, I'm sure it's the point)! Outside of the comments about Porsche's cooking ability and their eco-friendly initiatives (watch the video and you'll understand) this is seven minutes of pure HD Porsche joy. Hey Porsche, when are we getting …

UPDATE: This contest has ended but the gift ideas are still relevant. Each year we've posted Porsche gift ideas for Christmas, Father's day, etc. However, I just realized that until now we've never done a gift list for Mother's day. As a woman and the newest Porsche owner in our family, I thought it only right to give everyone a list …
Continue to the full articleHow Much Does a Porsche Covered in 40lbs of Gold Cost?
That, remains to be seen. However, if the starting bid is any indication, it's going to take a minimum of $400k and then some. In the past, we've seen other Porsches covered in gold, we've even seen Porsches covered in tweed and camouflage. However, we've never seen one of these "blinged" out gems for sale, until now that is. …
