Clean lines, exotic materials, superior craftsmanship, outstanding performance, these are all descriptive terms one could use in describing their Porsche car. Consider then, that in this instance, I’m not talking about a car but rather a kitchen. That’s right a kitchen. Porsche Design Studio joined forces with Poggenpohl, in late 2005, to …

In two of my last posts I talked about driving fast and a few precautionary steps to take if you are going to drive fast. Today’s post is an off-shoot of these and just a bit of a rant.

So, if today’s post comes off a little bit preachy, I apologize in advance. It’s not meant to be that way. Prior to my drive up Rte 9 in Canada the fastest I had ever been in a car was 137 …
