Final Delivery Paperwork Complete for Our 992-Generation 911 Cabriolet—Will It Arrive in ...

Our 911 Cabriolet Is Almost Here Time flies—and the delivery day for our 992-generation 911 Cabriolet is finally getting close. In early August, my husband completed the final delivery paperwork. Now all that’s left is for the ship carrying our 911 Cabriolet to reach port and for the dealership to finish its inspections before we can take delivery. With that in mind, I thought I’d put together a quick look at the timeline from placing...

What I Learned Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971)

The 971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the chance to take a Porsche Panamera GTS (971) for a drive. I’ve always had a soft spot for the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood.
