Welcome to My Porsche page

This Web site features my own cars (I might be selling them soon!) and general tips for car care that I've gathered from research and from experience.

CARS FOR SALE

Because cars in general are hobbies of mine, I constantly buy, fix, and sell mine, often using this site to advertise. I also advertise others' cars on my site for free. See the information on the Contact page, if you're interested. I currently have a 1997 BMW convertible, with leather seats, 5 speed manual transmission, 6-disc CD changer/player, single air bag, and power locks and steering, remote keyless entry. The convertible has 95,000 miles. I'll be selling this one soon. Check my What's New page for updates on it. I also recently have on Ebay a 1987 Porsche 924S with 68,000 miles showing on broken odometer. This car doesn't quite possess the luxurious interior of the convertible; it has Porsche logo seats, AM/FM CD, cruise control, and sun roof. selling for 6K If interested see my Contact page.

Keeping Your Car Cool

Did you know that in 95 degree heat, the air in your car reaches approximately 146 degrees and the steering wheel can reach 158 degrees? So what can you do about it? First, you can tint your car windows. Clear glass magnifies the sun and intensifies the heat. If that's too expensive, buy manual sunshades. They come in cheap cardboard or reflective material. You can also buy shades for the back side windows where your kids are. To avoid hot steering wheels, put a towel over the wheel to absorb sun while your car sits.


Washing and Waxing Tips

Most cars now come with a clearcoat finish, which tricks owners into thinking they don't need wax. Actually, you should wax your car 3-4 times a year. Most manufacturers also recommend washing your car once a week. Remember to start washing your car only when the car's surface is cool and only after rinsing the entire car. Rub gently, one section at a time, and use specific car wash products--never household cleaners. After rinsing your car well, dry it with a soft, clean cloth.
