  1. The ABCs of the 356: Part Three - Refinement and The Porsche 356 A

    Civilize. Hone. Improve. Better. Elevate. Sophistication. Precision. These words actually are the synonyms for the word refinement and not to put too fine a point on it, are words that can be used to describe what Porsche was after when they looked to elevate their attempts at building a sports…

  2. The ABCs of the 356: Part Two - The Porsche 356 Pre-A

    The preposition "pre" means before or prior. Pre-Columbian, pre-workout, pre-view, and a boatload of others. When looking at the ABCs of the alphabet there is nothing before the A. There is no pre-A to the alphabet, nothing "prior" to the letter A, there is just an A. Continuing my education…

  3. The ABCs of the 356: Part One - The Porsche 356 Gmund

    The 356. The first car that is instantly recognizable as a Porsche has had several variations during its lengthy manufacturing run and was the underestimated success of Ferry Porsche. There is the Pre-A, A, B, and C types. The T-5 and T-6, among others. Then there is the rare and beautiful Gmund....

  4. Love/Hate: The Porsche 996

    A quick peruse through the internet after searching for the first water-cooled 911 yields results of widely differing opinions. Things like, "it's just a bigger Boxster motor," "cheap, plastic interior," "what was Porsche thinking," and "don't get me started on the fried egg headlights." But…

  5. Ducktails: The 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7

    Rennsport, or RS, was a moniker given to a special class of Porsche. It started with the 550A- RS Spyder, then moved eventually to the 1957 718 RSK, and various 718s of the very early 1960s: the legendary hill climbers. There are RS models like the 991 GT3 RS and most recently the 2022 718 GT4 RS...

  6. Bonus Mini Episode: The 914/8

    When it comes to rare Porsches, there are several. Cars like the 935, the 356 America Roadster, the 991 Club Coupe, the 1967 911 R, and other various factory-built rarities. But since it's the holiday and I am a committee of one when it comes to voting, I thought I'd talk about the mid-engined,...

  7. Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 2

    When you break with tradition, there will always be detractors. People will inevitably yearn for the past and pine for a simpler time. Porsche has done it in many instances, and it is what keeps them innovating. Looking toward the future without forgetting the past is a hallmark of what Porsche…

  8. Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 1

    Not too long ago, I ran into an acquaintance, and we started discussing Porsches. Without asking what I currently own, he went into a rant about what constitutes a "real" Porsche. He proceeded to impart his wisdom regarding the, as he called it, the other 9's. In his words, the…

  9. Clark Kent or Superman? The Porsche 964

    As I was researching the 964 I discovered something that shocked me. Was the 964 actually boring? Perish the thought, but the history of the 964 is anything but exciting. I found myself looking for anything that would shine an interesting light on the magnificent third generation on the 911. Was…

  10. Attitude Adjustment: Women and Porsche

    "Is that your husband's Porsche?" "Move over and let me show you how it's done." "Your boyfriend must be really trusting to let you drive his car." And on and on and on. These are some of the attitudes that some men have about women and Porsches. Misogynistic, sexist, and sometimes downright…

  11. Preview for Next Week - Women of Porsche

    You can't underestimate the power and influence women have within all spectrums of Porsche. In this short preview for our episode about Women of Porsche, a future Porsche owner talks about her experiences and love of the brand.

  12. The Risky Business of Advertising

    The problem with doing a podcast regarding Porsche advertisements is the fact that I get lost in watching the countless ads on YouTube for "research." Hours went by watching moving, touching, and heartfelt ads that could actually bring one to well up a bit with unshed tears. Other ads tend to…

  13. icon /ˈīˌkän/ noun: Porsche 930

    Icons. Merriam-Webster has 4 definitions for the word. Each definition seemingly different, yet remarkably alike. Can someone or something be all of those? Porsche is a company that has produced its fair share of iconic cars. The 911 is recognizable as instantly Porsche and is a global icon of...

  14. Sheer Genius: The Porsche Carrera GT

    Negligee. When you hear the term it evokes thoughts of sheer, diaphanous, lacy, sexy, and sensual. Something see-through that get's your heart racing. Enough to cover and tease, but still able to reveal and show-off. It is tantalizing and fascinating all at once. Your pulse starts to race and you...

  15. Hyperactive hyper car...the Porsche 918

    Porsche icons; there are plenty. The 356, 904, 959, 911, and many others. But there are two mid-engined, terrifyingly fast, whiplash-inducing icons of a more recent time that are just as iconic. They are the Carrera GT and the 918 Spyder. As Richard Hammond said when he tested the 918 for Top...

  16. Mid-Engine Madness Part 2: The Boxster

    An Austrian, Japanese, and American man walk into a room.... sounds like a bad joke, but it was actually the genesis of something far better. For Porsche, it was a life-saving collaboration that it desperately needed in order for the company to avoid bankruptcy. For the Porsche customer, it was…

  17. Mid-Engine Madness

    What do the Porsche Carrera GT, 550 Spyder, 918 Spyder, Boxster, and the 914 all have in common? Well, the Porsche badge of course, but more importantly they are all examples of mid-engine Porsches. When thinking of Porsche we generally ponder the iconic 911 with its rear-engine classic design…

  18. Emblem. Legend. History.

    The origins of the creation of the iconic Porsche logo are not really agreed upon with Germans and Americans offering differing opinions, but one things is for certain: The Porsche logo with its rearing black stallion, red and black stripes, stag horns, and Porsche boldly arced across the top is...
