Can Mini win against Porsche?
Probably not on the track but they're definitely sitting P1 in the grassroots marketing grid. You see, a little over a week ago, Mini USA CEO Jim McDowell (a former Porsche employee no less) publicly challenged Porsche to a race at Road Atlanta on the 21st of this month. The winner would get bragging rights, a cool T-Shirt (see the video below …

$25k? $50k? $100k? How about $1,000,000? That’s what the seller of this Taito Chase H.Q. full motion simulator is asking? Not familiar with Taito or Chase H.Q.?

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 …
