I normally don't post on the weekend. Instead, I use the time to write my posts for the upcoming week. Anyway, I thought I would use this as an opportunity to sneak in a quick little announcement about this blog. Some of you may have noticed a slight change to the tagline of my blog (see the logo above). I've changed it from "all things …

I received an email the other day from a new member of the 993 family. He had just purchased his first Porsche and it happened to be a 993 ('97 White cab with blue top to be exact). Aside from complimenting the picture of my car (which will always get my attention and a response) he wanted to know what advice I could give to a first time Porsche …

We saw this the other day. It is supposed to air during the Superbowl and will be Porsche's first U.S. commercial in two years. I just love the sounds. So far, there have been no votes for RSR mufflers on our upgrade page. This video might just push us over the edge. Related Porsche Posts Did Mercedes 2011 Superbowl Commercial Rip Off …

Ok, I'm usually a fan of all things Porsche and I also happen to like Nike; but, come on, are these sneakers supposed to be this ugly?

I want to thank everyone for their positive feedback so far on my blog. I've had a few requests to make the site more interactive. As a result, I've created the following poll on upgrades for my 993. You see, I have a big list of things I would like to do to my car, but a limited budget combined with limited mechanical knowledge (I'm gaining …

It's snowed like crazy in the North East on Monday and that got me to thinking about the 993 in the snow and how it would handle. I'm told by some friends (who drive their cars in the New England Winter weather) that with snow tires it's no problem at all and the Carrera 4 or C4S handles better than most SUVs. Anyway, I decided to do a quick …

I found this article on Edmunds.com and found the review and the remarks on the 997 Turbo interesting. You don't usually see Porsche getting negative comments against any car. Not to mention this new "skyline" sounds pretty nice for the money. By Bill Thomas, Contributor Kazutoshi Mizuno, the chief vehicle engineer for the 2009 Nissan GT-R, …

I bought my 1997 Porsche 993 C4S in October of '06. Since then, I've put about about 6,000 miles on it (and the tires). The rear tires are showing some wear (the tread wear indicators are now visible) and I've decided I want to buy a new set of tires all around (this way I'm starting off fresh with a matched set and can really watch how the …
