This next car is tempting. Really tempting. It looks the part of the $100k sports car, but costs less than a used Kia from your local dealer…what gives? Two things — first it IS a 996 with 147k miles on the clock and second it is a 996. However, it has de-fried egg headlights, updated […]
As a non-Porsche owner, it has been painful to watch the rise in prices of vintage aircooled P-cars…but I’ve been watching the prices of the 996/997 and they offer a shocking amount of performance and comfort (sorry 993 owners…but they are faster and more comfy…maybe not as cool…) for the cash. To be honest, I’m […]
The Porsche 911 is an iconic classic imbued with a finely tuned suspension, classically understated good looks and raucous sounding rear mounted flat-6 engines – a combination that is seldom imitated. The 996 was a 911 that was faster, more comfortable, and better than the previous generation, but of course the purists and naysayers complained […]
Can’t afford a new Porsche 911 GT3? Yeah…okay, that is probably 99.9% of the adult population in the USA because those things are murderously expensive. Okay, head to the used side of the car lot and eeeeeEEEEEESH, they are still expensive. Like, a new BMW M3 expensive…so dig a bit deeper (there is always a […]
Who says a 911 is a rich man’s car? Well…the mechanic might think so…but if you’ve got another car for when the 911 is getting its interplanetary marmon spindle (IMS…just google 996 IMS and read all about it) replaced then the 996 is a car you could drive every other day of the year without […]
Nothing say’s you’ve made it like driving a Porsche 911. To most people it is this bulbous shaped billboard proclaiming to the world that you’ve worked hard and now you are ready to play. But the truth is that you can buy a 911 for less than the price of a used Hyundai. Find this 2001 […]
The original Porsche 911 has seen incredible price appreciation in the past decade, to the point that you’ve got to own a software company or be a rap star to own one of these things and the worst part is that even the cleanest museum quality version is dangerously slow in the modern world of […]
I can almost feel the wind in my hair now and smell the occasional waft of a mild chemical scent (all Porsches emanate some kind of petroleum based scent from time-to-time…just don’t take it to the dealer and ask for a diagnosis because they will say you need a new rear main seal and a […]
Wow. I made a request for Horrorods the other day and BAM — you guys delivered. This next one is scarier than Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un taking a strawberry scented bubble bath with Putin, Trump, and Hillary. Find this 1973 Porsche 911 Custom Limo offered for $24,500 in Silverlake, CA via craigslist. Tip from Sean […]
The ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu said a lot of things…but my top three have to be (1) “All warfare is based on deception.” (2) “Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.” and (3) ” It is better to drive Porsche with fake luggage engine cover that goes like a scalded cat than Porsche that handles […]
