If you thought Porsche’s first sedan was the Panamera, you’d be wrong. The brand isn’t a stranger to four-door vehicles because it has a history of collaborating with other automakers building fast sedans, wagons, and hot hatches.

Of course, you can jump online and search for a 12-volt replacement battery for your Porsche, that's what Google is for, right? But is that the best way to treat your performance vehicle?

Things have been a little bit weird for the last 18 months. Chances are you didn't get much of a chance to take your Porsche out for a good long trip in 2020, and as Coronavirus restrictions begin to ease around the country, it's time to fire it up and take it for a rip to some distant locale, preferably a tropical one by the ocean, or a secluded …
