Filed to: LifeStyleBy:

It’s amazing how quickly things come and go in the media. One minute a story is everywhere, the next minute it’s gone. Andy Warhol was more right than he could have ever known with his statement: “In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.” Take this post (Too Pretty to Fly) from a few weeks back about the two USF students who …

Long Awaited Porsche Museum to Open Before Year End

Filed to: NewsBy:

If you have had the good fortune to visit the current Porsche Museum then you know their company motto of "small but good" has worked well for them. While a little claustrophobic, due to lack of space, Porsche more than makes up for this through the constant change, and superb choice (yes, that's my favorite 917 pictured), of the 20 or so cars …

New prices for the Porsche Cayenne

Filed to: Porsche CayenneBy:
