I'm hoping to start a bit of a discussion with this post. Let's talk about the ways you get information on and about Porsche. I've stated before that I have my own list of Porsche resources (and I definitely need to update it) that I use to collect information, educate myself and come up with ideas for blog posts.

That means it's time once again for our annual Porsche Pumpkin Carving Contest. Last year I put my Porsche Pumpkin Carving skills …
