Sadly, I've never been waved back to from another Porsche owner, so I've stopped waving. The ones I know at work don't even consider anything other than a 911 a 'real' Porsche; lunatics all. They say...

Keep your eyes on ebay. I picked up a close to perfect pair of black 928 seats, both with heat, for I think it was $330 plus shipping. Much cheaper than recovering or buying new ones. Just have to be...

Standard Prestone green. Flush and change it every year. Change all the hoses every five years. Some might find that overkill, but I haven't had any coolant related problems since 1973, and that...

My '86 eats the middle grade (plus, silver, whatever they are calling it), whatever brand. I tried regular but got ping. Never on plus, so that's where I stay. I carry a can of octane boost for...

I'm real happy with Fuzion ZRi's, dry and in the wet. Don't drive the shark in snow though. Local guy says he will beat Tirerack's prices, will do $110 installed each so check around. Check the...

I understood that Fuzion is Bridgestone's 'discount' brand. I bought my car with the ZRi's on it, and replaced them once with the same brand, size and model. So far, so good.

I think the last one is as close as we're going to get to a low and high beam conversion that will be street legal here in the U.S.. But I lean towards something that will give me a flush 'aero'...
