Every Porsche is a bit unique in that they have their own set of distinctive features and quirks that we as owners come to know and love (or hate) over time; the Porsche 993 is no exception. I’ve assembled below, from various sources, a list of the features about the 993 (some well known, others not so much.) If my list isn't complete, or you …

Fearless Yachts and Porsche Design Studio
It’s Memorial Day, the unofficial start to the summer across the US. For lots of people (especially where we live) this means the official start of the boating season too. Given this, I thought what better way to kick off the summer season then taking a look at Porsche and their contribution to the boating world. It never ceases to amaze me …

A lot of the people I talk to tell me they think their Porsche is a "work of art." I find it hard to disagree. The iconic design of the Porsche 911 got its start 40 years ago with the introduction of the type 901 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander “Butzi” Porsche. In fact, today's modern Porsche 997s (and every model leading up to it) took their …

You may remember this post from last month about Porsche making improvements to the Cayenne Transsyberia.

A few months back I posted an article titled “I’m not a Porsche Expert but I Play one on the Internet.” The basic gist of this post (click on the title of the article if you want to refresh your memory) was for people to submit Porsche related questions to me. I would in-turn act as a free researcher for you. Well, the questions keep …

Interesting demographics in this press release. I know a lot of Porsche owners fit into the average income and networth groupings listed below, but I know just as many who don't. Bottom line, Porsche is a great car regardless of income, networth, etc. Congrats to Porsche for another great win! ATLANTA, May 14, 2008 – For the fourth year …

When it comes to the maintenance on your Porsche are you a Do It Yourself (DIY) type of owner? If so, and maybe even if you’re not, then this post is for you. As a kid, I used to relish taking the time to fix a problem on my then current ride of choice. My family didn’t have a lot of money growing up, so my cars were usually whatever I could …

Some of you may remember Valerie from her Introduction to Driver's Education posts from a few weeks back. Today's post comes from Vaelrie's brother Ernesto. Ernesto is a Porsche 993 owner, enthusiasts and PCA DE instructor. Recently, while tracking his car at Waterford Hills Raceway, Ernesto experienced a catastrophic suspenion failure at 90+ …

On Monday I posted about choosing the right tire for your Porsche (any Posche). Specifically, I discussed how the new Sumitomo HTR Z III Tire contradict the concept of having to pay (or over pay) for quality. My review was based on 1500 miles or so of ordinary and spirited street driving. Today's post is a review, compliments of John D. (Founder …

When I purchased my 1997 Porsche 993 C4S the odometer read 24,000 miles. From the service history I could see that it had four new tires installed (Continental ContiSportContact 2s) less than 4,000 miles ago. This basically matched up with the information from my PPI and with my visual inspection upon receipt of the car. Enjoying the car as much …
