Porsche Halts Their Car Production due to the Ukraine Conflict
It is hard to contemplate the issues between Russia and Ukraine, and how the entire world is feeling some level of effect from their conflicts. To add yet another downside to the situation at hand, Porsche has temporarily ceased all car production due to the conflicts between the neighboring countries. Other automotive industry blogs, including Carscoops and Jalopnik have generated articles on the matter as well. It’s just too important, although upsetting, to not spread the

Singer’s 1980s Inspired Twist on a 450 HP Porsche 911
Singer Vehicle Design never ceases to amaze us with their take on Porsche classic vehicles, especially with this spinoff of the 911 Turbo. This version, at a first glance, isn’t anything extraordinary, but the longer you look, the more you see. Special details like the bumper and spoiler begin to pop out the more time you give to analyzing it. While the style mimics the 1980s generation of the 911, the base frame–although hard to tell–comes from influences of the Porsche 964

GM Launches investigation into C8 DCT transmission "failures"
You can check out the story @gmauthority.com in the link below. Basically some of the earlier C8 Corvettes had issues with an error message and check engine light or a leaking transmission pan. Consumers would find the error message on the dashboard indicating a transmission fault. Another symptom is an older pan design for the transmission that could cause leaking. Newer C8’s have a modified transmission pan that changed the sealing surface and the bolting strategy (13 bolt

Proof that we are car enthusiasts!
I have always been a car enthusiast, ever since I can remember. I remember being very young and had a silver Porsche 928 hot wheels car. I loved it but something wasn’t right. I wanted a black 928. So I got out my Testor model paint and gave that 928 a beautiful black paint job (for a 7 year old). What really brought up this blog is that my dad sent me the photo below. Not sure if that age, probably about 3 or 4, searching the automotive classifieds. My dad’s text read,

Porsche Owner Wished They Knew about RGS sooner!!
A customer contacted us, pointing us to a video they made after they paid almost $2ooo to have their Porsche 718 Cayman air conditioning condenser replaced. Thomas' beautiful Carmine red Cayman sprung a leak. Look at the video and you can see something rather large made a puncture in the condenser. Unknown how large it was, but in the photo on the video, you can see another contact point to the north-northwest of the puncture. #Porsche #Porsche718 #PorscheBoxster #Porsche

Turbos blow! Really!
This may be controversial, this may be met with fierce resistance, but I feel that turbos rob the soul of a vehicle. Yes, turbos are great! They give you great street torques (said "Turks"), feel great from a stoplight, feel great out of a corner, but that's where the euphoria with turbos ends. The air that is being shoved into the combustion cylinders, fills the cylinder completely, fires off that spark plug, and shoots the exhaust gasses into the exhaust system that then

Bonehead story, one Porsche Cayman, P0306 and 2 cylinders
I was so amused by my bone head mistake, I just had to share it! No Porsche Caymans were hurt or maimed during the creation of this story, only minor damage to my back and ego. Here’s the story: I had been having what many Porsche owners may deal with over the life of their vehicle, the dreaded check engine light. This check engine light lights up multiple warnings like a Christmas tree, in particular, PSM failure, Auto start stop disabled, flashing check engine light that
