Duchovny Porsche

David Duchovny's Californification Porsche sure could use a make over! Couldn't find a picture but I'm sure everyone's seen it. Guess it's suits him.

Love that show! Partially for the fact that he drives a well used 964 cabrio.
In one episode he buys a new Porsche and then regrets it and gets his old car back.

It's a good show that has a lot of heart and comedy (very good writing) plus sex, drugs and rock'n roll...

Has the new season started yet?

early in the series an upset 'husband/boyfriend' used a baseball bat on the front headlight.

I'd wager the studio 'painted' the dirt on, so it always looks that way.

I've only seen season 1, but his new one got carjacked (along with his new book) and then he was driving the old one again. Don't know if he got a new new one in season 2 or 3.

Yeah...I forgot about the carjacking...I only remembered that he liked the old one better as it had "character".

Another show that has a 911 is "Saving Grace". They have 2 of them that you can sometimes see from the 210 freeway at the McClay exit in the lot at Delfino Stages.

They had a great storyline where Grace (Holly Hunter) got the car at Police auction and it turns out it was owned by a drug dealer. There was a stash of money left in the door panels that her mechanic would use as his personal ATM when working on the car.

A discussion about the show:
Saving Grace

Episode Synopsis: "Do You Love Him?" - The door to Grace’s Porsche gets knocked off when a drunk driver slams into it, the impact letting loose thousands of dollars in cash that had been hidden by a previous owner. Among the owners questioned is legendary Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys football coach Barry Switzer, guest-starring as himself. The investigation eventually entails a murdered highway patrol officer and a wealthy developer. Meanwhile, Ham’s little brother Ralph disappears in Afghanistan hitting the entire squad firmly in the gut. And Ham’s older brother, Nick, expresses strong disapproval of Grace just as Ham decides it’s time to ask her out on a real date.

oops,

I was being so careful to correctly spell "Duchovny" that I misspelled the name of the show; of course it should be Californication; and I agree it's a great show and the Porsche adds to the star's character and vice versa!
