Car Lust–Porsche 928
It is inconceivable to me that the Porsche 928 doesn’t have a more glorious reputation than it does. What was one of the all-time great cars of the 1980s (with some spillover from the 1970s and into the 1990s) is remarkably often regarded as a bloated, fat, ugly failure of a car, somehow barely worthy of the Porsche name.
Bah! The 928 was a fantastic car that helped define the sports GT category, marrying supercar performance with comfort and everyday practicality. The 928 had such an embarrassment of ability that it captured the imagination.
Considering the standard of its time, it had incredible top speed and high-speed cruising ability; married to its ...

About This Vehicle
The Porsche Cayman gets only a few minor changes and refinements for 2008. The recommended oil-change interval has now been extended to one year or 12,000 miles, and the spark plugs are to be replaced every four years or 36,000 miles. Instrument-panel air vents in the Cayman have a new Matte Black soft-touch finish, and a Carrera Red interior is new, but the Palm Green interior is gone.

Porsche has made headlines in the industry with its Panamera 4-door sedan since it hit the market in 2009 as a 2010 model. Contrary to many of the company’s other models, the Panamera had many critics. Not only did the idea of a 4-door Porsche rustle purist’s feathers, but the design and styling left many scratching their heads.
From some angles the car is impressive and echoes the sports ...

September 18, 2008
To paraphrase the Fabulous Thunderbirds, #8220;Wrap it up, I#8217;ll take it.#8221;
Many a car enthusiast would love to walk into a Porsche dealership and say these words, but that pesky money issue always seems to get in the way #8211; as in, there#8217;s never enough of it to put the P-car in your driveway.
Those values look pretty close to what you#8217;ll find sellers asking at AutoTrader.ca, but it#8217;s far from the only place to look for a used Porsche.

Repairs
Resolved Out-of-Warranty Issues
Problem: Windows would roll down about 3 inches while driving
Dealer: My garage
Date: June-2006
Description:
The convertible top micro-switch was being tripped when driving over bumps. The switch inaccurately sensed that the convertible top latch was open. Replacing the micro-switch did not fix the problem.
The micro-switch had to be modified to add extra padding (a piece of electrical tape) around switch button, making sure the top latch fully engaged the switch when it was closed.
Problem: Large amounts of white smoke out of the exhaust after hard, high engine speed acceleration followed by immediate closed throttle.

Comments Off on About the Porsche 928 | eHow
Conception
Design of the Porsche 928 began at the tail end of the 1960’s as Ferdinand Porsche, owner of the Porsche Motor Company, became concerned about the slowing sales of the brand’s flagship model, the 911. His feeling was that the 911 had reached the peak of its design capabilities and that its poor sales performance hinted that it might soon have to be taken out of production, ironic given that the 911 is still hugely popular, and remains in production, to this day.
Drive Design
Rather than keeping to the famous rear-wheel drive and engine positioning of the 911, it was considered that combining rear-wheel drive with a frontal engine would be the best possible option for ...
