Porsche is the Benchmark that Nissan has been Aiming for

There has been quite a bit of talk, discussion and debate regarding the new Nissan GT-R and how it compares to Porsche. These previous posts (here, here and here) can give you a flavor for some of the discussion. Basically, the 911 is the benchmark that Nissan has been using to set their own standards. Read more

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. Read more

They just won’t go away (click on the image to the left for a full size view!!). When I posted the story on “Joey FcUkin Carrera” I had absolutely no idea the response it would generate. I was simply trying to define the meaning of Porsche Culture or, in this case, what it doesn’t mean. These guys are not new. However, in the last week, my site has been receiving upwards of 3000 to 4000 new visitors a day. Not a lot in the world of the internet, but quite a bit for my little server. For reasons that are all too obvious to me (and based on the comments on this post) people just don’t like these guys.

To my regular readers, please excuse this one last break from reality. As funny as it is, we’ll be back to Porsche stuff next week. Thanks for indulging me.

As far as I know, all of these pictures have been floating around the internet for at least a year (most seem to have come from Joey’s own MySpace Profile). In fact, Joey himself won an award last year for some of his photos. Here are just a few of the online forums I found that have multiple page threads on these guys and others.

In addition, my site, specifically this post, has been linked on a ton of other forums globally. I’ve found reference to it as far away as Norway. Can you imagine? Forget about Porsche Culture, what does this do to the view of Americans as a whole?

Oh well, this is, first and foremost a site about Porsche, so this will be the last post on this subject. However, after seeing the following video I couldn’t resist this one last write-up. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING VIDEO CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AND THE IMAGES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE GAGGING!!

Don’t be that guy! The art of Approaching Women.

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. Not Porsche specific per-se’, but more general ranting about driving, the rules of the road and the fact that either no one understands them (it’s more likely they have never read them) and if they do, they blatantly ignore them.
