This 1999 Porsche Boxster will amaze you at multiple levels: It moves very aggressively, but with precision. It draws attention at every boulevard stop, while cruising PCH or on the FRWY at rush hour, while those around you should have both their eyes on the road. I promise . . . you'll get more attention in a week than in my BMW X5 in 6 months. The car runs as designed, the roof does not leak and it stops on a dime. I am selling the car because I have 3 children. I bought it as gift to myself, for turning 50, but it does not fit my family lifestyle. The kids LOVE it and so do I, but I can only drive with one at a time. In addition, I work a few miles from home and as a result, the car sits idle in my garage with an appetite for the road it well deserves. I don't trust it in the company parking lot, I prefer to keep it free of dings, nor do I care for it sitting in the sun with stuff falling from the pine trees. I have pampered it since day one . . . thank YOU!! power seats, power windows, power locks, power rear view mirrors, power roof(top down-top up), cruise control, am/fm radio with cd player, leather seats, 5 speed manual transmission, black inside, outside and above. no accidents, clear title, clean car fax, newer tires, almost new interior floor mats, clear interior wind deflector, clear rear vinyl window with a very smooth idle, acceleration and overall performance. Please ask any questions that come to mind. Dear tuesdaycameras, Presently own a 911s just a great car, saw yours and am very interested, a few questions, the engine, trans,and driveline, any issues? Oil leaks? Any oil spots on garage floor? The trans any issues up and down while shifting? Any issues with the drive train any noises? Maintenance records available? Has a smog inspection been done within the last 90 days? The driver seat can't quite tell but looks cracked? And as far as driving, mostly in the city or open road?-tx - mkerns8gnh Yes, the driver's car seat shows signs of fatigue, but that was done by the previous owner who was handicapped. He drove it for a small time and found it to be uncomfortable. The engine, trans and drive train are free of any issues. No real oil spots on the garage floor, but then you can inspect the garage floor firsthand. There are no formal maintenance records, because I have a private mechanic: I own a 2001 BMW X5, a 2010 Prius, a 2005 VW Passat, a 1965 Chevy Pick Up, 1991 Mercedes, a 1956 Ford Pick up, along with the Boxster in question,so taking them to a Dealer is not a practical option I can afford. The drive train is free of noises and it shifts up and down smoothly free of any odd sounds. No smog has been done recently, but I can provide that upon sale. I have only driven it on the highway to destinations away from home with my 77 year old mother or kids to grab dinner or a frozen yogurt by the beach. I don't waste mileage cruising around locally, instead I use my 1991 Mercedes to do the bulk of my travels. The Mercedes just reached 300,000 miles on Friday October 3rd and you can use this as testimony towards the mechanical condition of the vehicles I own. Your welcome to come by and check it out for yourself . . . thank Y O U !! I have attached some photos of my 1991 300CE Mercedes with a proud 300,000 miles, thanks again for your interest. FREE!

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good

Thu, Jan 23 2014

Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
