Filed to: NewsBy:

No, it's not as bad as this image represents, I just liked it better than your typical bar chart or graph that normally represents falling profits. As reported over the weekend, even Porsche isn’t immune to the impact of the current global economic crisis. As their latest sales numbers report, Porsche’s October delivery numbers in North America …

Porsche to Halt Production

Filed to: NewsBy:

I bet that headline grabs your attention. I know it worked on me. However, after reading the full report I realized that while not without financial implications, it's no where near as serious as the headline editors over at TheAge.com.au would have you believe.

The Picasso of Porsche Pumpkins

Filed to: LifeStyleBy:

Earlier in the month I showcased my attempt at carving the likeness of a Porsche into the face of a Pumpkin. Like most things, the results looked much better in low-light.

Extreme Porsche Pumpkin Carving Contest

Filed to: LifeStyleBy:

Looking back it seemed like a good idea, maybe even a great idea. Now, I'm not so sure. I'll let you be the judge. I was surfing around the other day and I saw this post over on CarDomain.com (for those of you that don't make the jump, it's a post about pumpkin carving and cars) I thought, hmmmm, I wonder if I could do that with a Porsche?
