Part of a gift package I received a couple of nights ago was this “limited” edition sample from Porsche Design Group. Apparently only a handful of stores are carrying it, and my friend was able to snatch me up a sample. Smells good. Kind of gave me a headache, but that could have been the lack of sleep.

As a side-note, if Porsche could bottle the smell of a 1966 Porsche 912 I would buy it by the drum and reek of it always. A classic VW friend of mine when sitting in my old 912 noted “..ah, I love that classic Porsche smell..” As do I.

You can imagine my surprise when my wife in an irritated voice asked if I had ordered something from Porsche days before Christmas. I hadn’t. But what I had done was register my 1989 911 C4 over at Porsche’s Family Tree website. I forgot about the offer to receive a commemorative poster. Looks like I’ll be framing yet another thing this holiday.

A new-hire announcement went out regarding my new position. In a company my size I knew there had to be at least one Porsche die-hard. Turns out I was right. Dave L. sent me a picture over of his Porsche. Turns out Dave took a 1979 911 SC and upgraded the motor to 3.2L using a low miles from a 1998 Carrera. He beefed up the suspension, wider tires, custom wheels and of course the whale tail. Turns out he’s looking to sell her due to lack of time to enjoy her. Ping me if you are interested (let me know via a post to keep an eye out for you – I’ve been having wacky email issues).
