The Porsche 944 was another chapter in the watercooled front engine Porsche sport coupe saga that started in the late 1970s with the 928…but the 944 is in essence a beefed up replacement for the 924. The 944 is actually one of the better cars of the 924/944/968 extended family to pick up from a […]
When Porsche released its mid-engine Boxster in 1997, it wasn’t just the first roadster to be designed since the original 550 Spyder, but it was also the first mid-engine Porsche to hit the road after the Porsche 914, which was really a Volkswagen project if you believe the web. Anyway, if you wanted a hardtop […]
The VW Beetle based 917 Laser doesn’t look much like a real Porsche 917 and it doesn’t drive much like a real Porsche 917…but it offers an interesting combination of style and affordability that is difficult to match. It will perplex your Tesla driving neighbors to no end and is probably explicitly banned in your […]
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 […]
If you are going to get into a classic Porsche and don’t want to pay an arm/leg for entry fee, you might need to look into the less loved front-engine water-cooled Porsche club. Thankfully, you’ve got a number of options, but if you can’t find one of the rare 924 Turbo models you probably can’t […]
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 […]
I know, I know. I hate to be a pessimist. I hate to be yet another voice on the internet that laments how all the cheap fun cars have been purchased by stamp collectors who’ve inflated their values to the detriment of everyone but the wealthy elite who can afford them. And the collector car […]
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 Porsche 944 was built from 1982 through 1991 on a platform shared with the low level Porsche 924, and it featured an upgraded engine and upgraded styling…and this next example includes a slight upgrade to the factory fender flares and significant application in decorative interior carbon fiber stuff. Anyway, find this 1985 Porsche 944 […]
The typical New Years celebration includes welcoming the new year with open arms and promises to do better…so that is why the New Year’s Eve celebration includes heavy drinking and making bad decisions to cap off the year.
