Drill, Baby, Drill

Just don't drill the front bumper of your Porsche.  Legally, yes, a front license plate is required in Texas.  From recent encounters, West Texas seems to place a higher value on the front plate being displayed than cities like Houston. 
Some of the troopers in this area feel that it's an easy way to pull someone over when they're actually looking for something else.  They don't place a high priority on…

Driving in the rain

There are some obvious precautions to driving in the rain, like slow down, turn on your headlights, turn on your wipers, and possibly turn on your defogger.  Not so obvious are things like a rear fog light.  On later model Porsches the fog light(s) indicator is on the lower left side of the surrounding bezel.  This is only an indicator that the light(s) is (are) on, not a position for the light switch.
Current Porsches have low beams that are quite capable of penetrating the fog and have eliminated the need for separate fog lights.  Slightly older Porsches…

Tires Update:  Asymmetrical vs. Directional Tires

Porsche sports car owners are used to the fact that they cannot rotate tires.  Having different sized tires front and rear tires combined with directional tires eliminates the possibility of tire rotation. 

The asymmetrical tires, rather than showing rotation, are marked for inside and outside.  The outside tread always has the handling blocks.  With a slight difference in tread design it almost looks like one tire is on backwards.  These tires, however, do allow for rotation from side to side.  Flipping them still results in…

Swirl Marks - automotive acne

Just when you've washed and waxed your beauty and pulled it back into the garage, those harsh fluorescent lights turn a sparkling masterpiece into damaged goods.  Those circular lines appear out of nowhere and instantly age your Porsche.  What seemed to be a showroom example of clean and brilliant just transformed into your worst nightmare.

Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it sure wasn't what you expected.  Is it time to…
