XMAS Eve

Merry Christmas everyone. 2 hours till C-Day. Wife and I exchanged a few gifts, and wouldn’t you know it – I’ve got a cool Porsche toy to play with (ok, we all know I won’t actually open the toy, but it does go up on my “cool shit” wall in the basement). No car as of yet; still building it back up. Seems rings are needed to complete the job. Not sure when I last DROVE a Porsche, so I’m getting very antsy. Should be soon. Happy Holidays everyone. Drive em like you stole em.

I know, my new toy is a 911 Turbo, and I don’t HAVE a turbo, but it’s still a cool ass toy.

Porsche Design Group| Holiday Awesome

I learned well after owning my first Porsche that there was a separate Porsche Design Group dedicated to innovative industrial design. I think the first example I saw was a cigarette boat? Who knew. I thought about getting my kid a Porsche Design bike, then figured for the cost I could get another 912.

So while my car is still in the shop (don’t ask) I’ve had very little Porsche contact. Last night was my holiday party… if you know me, you know what that means. On my way out I was handed a very nice parting gift; a Porsche Design Group Writing Tool (AKA, a pen). A BADDDDDDD ASSSSSSSS pen. I won’t go into the details of my sad Porsche worship, but it was a wonderful gesture by my bosses; thank you again.

Porsche Design… too fucking cool. I’ll never use it of course, but when I get that cigarette boat I will drop that bad boy in the water – worry not.
