So, you’ve decided it’s time to take the plunge and watch car racing on television. You flip on the SPEED channel and there is some kind of road racing going on.

Four, Unveiled, Without Compromise
Porsche dealerships around the country have been getting excited for the new Panamera for some time now. This exquisitely controversial (or controversially exquisite, depending on who you ask) four-door Porsche unveiled for sale to the public on October 15th, and I was fortunate enough to attend an unveiling held at a local Cincinnati, Ohio …

For months now rumors have circulated the web about possible new models and platform sharing between Porsche and VW. I have done my best to avoid the rumor mongering and wait for something concrete before weighing in on the subject. However, a couple of recent articles I read forced my hand. The two post are titled as "7 New Porsche …

If you thought that the closest you were going to get to a Panamera in your driveway was Porsche's great Picture it web-site, well forget it. They don't even have the Panamera loaded up as an option yet (my guess is they will add it soon). However, for as little as fifty bucks, you might win one. Thanks to the Porsche Club of America, for …

The answer depends on the Porsche in question and who you ask. A few months ago I wrote an article about a 928 GTS that sold for the record price of $92,500. This represented a premium of $7,000 above it's original selling price. Not huge, but gigantic when compared to its lesser priced contemporaries (the 928S, S2, S4, 928 GT, etc.). …

I just sold one of my all time favorite toys, my 1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (a Woodie). While I was sorry to see it go, it does free up some much needed garage space, not to mention some $$$$ to look for something else. As I start looking around, wondering what I can get to replace the Jeep (because it must be replaced), it got me to thinking …

Back in December of 2008 I published a post over on TTAC.com (The Truth About Cars) about how being seen driving a Porsche can increase your testosterone level. It didn't seem like much of a stretch and after thinking it through seemed fairly obvious as well. Hmmm, medical science explains the mid-life crisis automotive purchase. Go …

By now, most of you have seen the videos of the making of the new Porsche Panamera commercial. Today, Porsche launched the finished product on you tube. While I enjoyed the video below, I do hope they release a much longer version for on-line consumers. It would be great to see more of those amazing cars they compiled to create the …
