When is a 40 year old car not a 40 year old car? When every functional and cosmetic aspect of it has been meticulously inspected, rebuilt or replaced with new, upgraded or excellent used components. This is the case with my beautiful 1973 Porsche 914 2.0L. Of course it did not start out this way. I purchased this car 4 years ago online from someone out West who shall we we say was a good deal less than honest about its condition.  After overcoming my initial disgust and heartache, I decided that I was going to restore this car.Thus began a 4 year restoration project that is now complete. As anyone who rebuilds these great machines for a hobby knows, it is a painstaking process that involves countless hours of searching for parts online, consulting forums, and contributing to the good Dr.'s retirement account :) not to mention taking up space in your garage and  becoming all to familiar with a floor jack and jack stands. So why undertake such an agonizing process? Because when you get one of these cars and you set it up right, it is one of the best pure driving experiences you can find. An experience that will put a smile on your face every time - not just because they handle like go karts or because in many ways they were ahead of their time, but because you are driving a unique piece of history that will cause people to stop, stare, smile, track you down in parking lots and give you the thumbs up no matter where you go.

I rebuilt this car with every intention of keeping it and perhaps passing it along to my son when he was old enough to drive. It was with those thoughts in mind that I took on every aspect of this build - no shortcuts, no cheese ball hacker patch-it and flip it scenarios. It is at the end of the day a car that I am extremely proud of. A car that is meant to be driven every day and enjoyed even if those drives take you to a car show or a track somewhere. It is a car that can be driven anywhere and enjoyed for many years with just the basic maintenance that these great machines require ( service that any reputable Porsche garage or do-it-yourselfer can easily manage). 

I have below a partial list of the work that I have done and the components that have been added or replaced. I will add more as time and my schedule allows. I have listed the obligatory 24 pictures here. I have over 200 more that you can find on Photobucket that shows the considerable detail that went in to this build. I will try and post the link later.

The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps.
The final hour would make up for the morning - drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and that turned into a few gambles that paid off, and at least one that didn't...

Some kind of Porsche 911 spied in Germany

Wed, May 20 2015

Seeing a Porsche undergoing testing in Germany – even at the Nurburgring Β– is hardly a rare sight. But this one has us scratching our heads. Though almost entirely devoid of any sort of camouflage, this particular 911 clearly has something going on. It's got LED daytime running lights (similar in appearance to those on the Cayman GT4) integrated into the front end, extra air vents around back, and a pair of exhaust tips poking out the middle of the rear bumper. In the end, we could be looking at the upcoming facelift scheduled for the 911 that will see it shift to forced induction across the entire range (save for the GT3 and GT3 RS) Β– or this could be another version of the existing model. Porsche has been known to churn out a steady stream of those, after all. One way or another, though, it looks like we'll be finding out sooner than later Β– judging from how ready this particular Elfen looks to hit the show stand and showroom.
