Remember the pictures from our post earlier in the week on the Don Davis Collection that's coming up for sale next month with RM Auctions? Did you see the pictures that accompanied that post? Each one was a work of art.  Wouldn't you like to see your Porsche captured in quality photos similar to that?  Porsche is providing a chance for three lucky fans, and their favorite 911, to win a professional photo shoot as part of the ongoing 50 Years of the 911 celebration.

Look What We Got At the New York International Auto Show
Porsche Room Key
We checked in to our hotel for the New York International Auto Show yesterday and low and behold our room key was sporting another Porsche. This time it's the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 we're here to see.  Seeing how our Amelia Island Key Card contest went so well, we'll do our best to get a stack of these cards, too.  If we're successful, we'll post a note on our facebook page , on Twitter and right here in our next newsletter on how you can get your hands on one if you would like it for your memorabilia collection. We'll have lots more on our time here at the show as well!
Did You Know the 991's Design was Completed Using a Pencil?
1973 Porsche 911 RS
Given advances in technology, and how sophisticated the new 911 is, we simply assumed the final design would be completed using modeling software on a computer.  First time contributor Jil McIntosh interviews Porsche's Michael Mauer about how it came to be that the newest and most advanced 991 to date was designed using a pencil.

Porsche Swiss HillClimb and Autocross Compilation
Swiss hillclibm video
This video kept me mesmerized for nearly 20 minutes. I stumbled onto it the other day and before I knew it I had watched the entire thing. Nearly 17 minutes. I couldn't believe it. Then I watched it again! Consisting entirely of highlights from various hill climb and autocross events, this video features a huge variety of Porsches doing what they were meant to. The sound is incredible and the way some of the 911s seem glued to the pavement defies physics. I'm not saying you have to watch the whole thing, I just think you'll want to.
