I though I would share this photo with you of an ultra-rare Porsche prototype named the Delorean. Oops!?! Just kidding again!!! Actually, this Porsche design prototype named the Porsche Tapiro was designed by Guigaro.

Watch This!!!

Urban Outlaw is an amazing 30 minute documentary about a Rock n' Roller dude who lives in L.A. and restores and customizes vintage Porsche 911's. The Sound and Film Quality is unbelievable, and the dude absolutely fascinating...

Sean Connery Porsche 356


...Classic Celebrity Car Coolness...

Sean Connery 
James Bond Actor Driving a Porsche 356
Driving through London in 1964

Sean Connery is pictured below in his Porsche 356 in 1964 driving through the cobblestone streets of Wavel Mews, in West Hampstead, London, England. Sean Connery was considered to be the coolest actor on earth since he had recently released Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), and Goldfinger (1964)

In an ironic twist, James Bond's character drove an Aston Martin, while the man who played the James Bond character, ironically drove a Porsche 356, which, of course, was the predecessor to the Porsche 911.

1986 Porsche 928 Hotness
Memories Are Made Of This

I remember back in the mid 1980s how over-the-top cool the Porsche 928 was. It is interesting that we don't see many on the road these days? The 928 was featured in many Hollywood movies, including Risky Business, Scarface, and Weird Science.

Petroleum v. Electricity...


Petroleum v. Electricity
Motor Trend Compares
Tesla Roadster v. Porsche Boxter Spyder

It is likely this is the last generation of petroleum cars and that within 10 short years, all new cars will run on electricity. In some ways this is like mechanical watches v. quartz, the only difference is that mechanical watches are not terrible for the environment.

In this head to head competition, Motor Trend put the 2010 Tesla against the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and it is fascinating!!!
