The answer, it would appear, depends on who you ask. You see, Nitrogen is used in the space shuttle and in commercial airliners mostly because it is non-combustible. The likely hood of the tires on your Porsche getting hot enough, during normal driving, to explode is fairly slim . However, there are other reasons to consider …

I've never been a big fan of these promotional/marketing type posts, but in this case it's different. I'm a huge Porsche Motorsport fan and an even bigger fan of the Flying Lizard team. So, it gives me great pleasure to announce that FlatSixes.com has entered into an agreement with Flying Lizard Motorsports that names our site as the first U.S. …

While the Panamera may polarize the Porsche enthusiasts community, there seems to be know doubt about its popularity among journalists and other automotive pundits. As further proof and on the heals of the Panamera receiving an Edmunds Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted 2010 trophy at the recent 2009 LA Auto show, Bloomberg News has named the …

The rumor mill is in full swing this week with talk of Farnbacher Loles pulling out of the Grand-Am Rolex series and potentially closing their doors completely. Unfortunately, no one at Farnbacher is talking (we've made repeated phone calls), and up until today we hadn't wanted to post anything as our information was gathered solely from various …

James May (of Top Gear fame) recently asked a very similar question in an article published in The Telegraph. He goes on to say, "Love comes in at the eye, according to WB Yeats, but the meaning of a 911 comes through the buttocks and some demons lurking in a dark corner of the mind. Cezanne revealed the world to us through a bowl of apples. …

Over the course of 2009, close to 500,000 people will travel the hallowed halls of the new Porsche Museum (much more than twice the 200,000 originally expected). While some live close by, others have made a pilgrimage, covering 1000s of miles, on this holiest of journeys to Porsche's very own "Mecca". The crowds, both reverent and raucous, …

The more I see of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder, the more I think this could be the next Porsche in my garage. The PCH has to be one of the best driving roads in the US and having just driven more than 1200 miles up, down and around the same places in a 2009 Boxster S it was good to see these roads again. Don't forget to watch the video through …

Between the crowds, the traffic and the parking (not to mention having to dodge all people coughing and sneezing) I'm doing my best to get all my Christmas shopping done online this year. Unfortunately, when you're shopping for Porsche fans (and I have quite a few on my Christmas list) it's not always easy. Well, last week, in an effort to help, …

As I was editing today's post about this year's 944Fest and preparing to publish it, I suddenly remembered that it was the two year anniversary of PorschePurist and I was struck by how far the site has come since my first couple of posts (first post, second post). As of today, just shy of 1,000,000 unique visitors have found their way to …
