Amazing...so if Porsche did NOTHING with restoration or parts supply, you'd all be upset saying they have forgotten all about their roots, but since they <gasp> want to make money at that aspect of their business, they're evil.

Porsche's are a luxury, not a necessity. They can and will charge whatever the market will bear. If 356's go out of favor, of course they'll stop supporting/restoring them. If the Cayenne suddenly stopped selling, they would move onto something new. That's what businesses do. Business 101.

Again, funny how everyone can be upset and call Porsche greedy because they have the audacity to make money off you while you're typing on your computer/phone/tablet using software from either Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. that make 70+% margins....

I guess I fall into the Greedy group since I expect to make money on my work, my ideas and things I sell.

Well coming after a group like this which is basically giving them free advertising makes me say yes. They are as greedy as they come. And looking at how they market their stuff I would also add GREEDY. But that is just me...

No one noticed the site's logo has changed since yesterday? It's still the same as it was on the home page, but on every other page it's a different font now - something definitely happened.

Geez ... I hope we can keep posting updates regarding our P------ 9--s without fear from their legal department (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Can we verbally speak their brand name in public? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You have a first edition. It's worth more now.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Make a lampshade and put it on Ebay.

I think those that are complaining about Porsche abandoning their roots are wrong. I don't know of another car company that stocks or makes parts for cars that are 20+ Years old.


Mercedes. They have always suported the older cars by keeping the parts for them either in stock or having them made on original tooling. NO other company can compare the them on that front. A few years ago I was working on a 280 SL that needed a hood. One call to Mercedes and a brand spanking new one was delivered about 3 weeks later.


Correct. Mercedes and Ferrari both. If they don't have it, they'll make one for you. Whatever the year.

I like the 6/1/2013 version of the 914 world logo better. it has a nice pleasing font the evokes the Porsche font

Attached Image

Are we going to vote on the favorite, or are you guys just trying out new ones every day?
