Today is no regular Friday, it is in fact Sportscar Together day, as Porsche calls it.

What does that mean? It means that 70 years ago today, the first Porsche, 356 number 1, was first registered for road use. Today marked the first day that Porsche found its way into our hearts as royalty of the road, and for this event, I think it’s fair to look back upon the evolution of the side profiles of every single generation of every single Porsche production model.

Too bad that Mission E relies on stolen Tesla tech and will never be as good.

You will never be as good as Mergio, so quit while you’re ahead.

I like the Lohner Porsche hybrid. Kinda neat. Also, the Tiger prototype tank.

Why didn’t you use a Turbo Cabriolet for the 991?

I’m going to the NY Tri-State Corral tomorrow. I hope I get there early enough to get my car in the picture.

Nice! My local dealer is hosting an event, maybe I’ll get lucky enough to do one of the charity test drives.
