As I start to spend more time in the online forums dedicated to high-end sports cars and the "luxury lifestyle" (such as Rennlist, TeamSpeed, etc.) I've started to see what might be a disturbing trend.

How A Flat Tire and a Love of Porsche Sparked a Revolution in Flashlights
It was cold, it was dark and that loud thump THUMP made it fairly obvious that Ronald Durando's Porsche had a flat tire.

If, like John, you plan on trying to live in a bubble for the next week and not read or hear about yesterday's ALMS results until you can watch it for yourself (it's being aired on CBS next Saturday the 29th in an edited and tape delayed format) then you don't want to read this message.

For a lot of us, the Porsche of our "dreams" is not always a new Porsche. It might be a used Porsche.

The Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 RSR team had so much confidence in their over-the-wall pit crew that they elected to take on four new tires – even though their closest competitors tried to save time by not changing tires – and their strategy paid off as Patrick Long (USA) and Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) scored an exciting GT class win …

When I was picking out my new Cayenne I decided to get one without the factory roof rail system. Aesthetically, the factory roof rails look great on the Cayenne.
