Yeah, not bad huh? Jack Baruth puts out some great stuff...most of it equally hilarious and or scathing. Porsche has put the guy on their black list after a particularly bad review of the Panamera (which you can read into here if you wish http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...-the-panamera/)....even though the guy owns three of em and is the type of guy the company likes to think it talks to.

I'm probably much more the "modern man" in this article than I would like to admit (mechanically, I'm pretty inept...i come at cars more from the design side of things), but I can definitely relate and appreciate the sentiment behind it all. The cars I still lust after are the simple old beasts....and one day day I still hope to make my 911 dreams come true. As much as I like the 930, it's honestly probably too much car for me....plus let's face it, I'm much more of a weekend drive in the country type enthusiast as opposed to someone with actual skills who tracks. But at the end of the day, regardless of our skills, it's that sheer exhilaration we are all after. And that's harder and harder to come buy with today's rolling computer couches.
