Don't waste your time. It was the dumbest 1/2 hr Porsche "special" I've ever seen.
I wish the director would have taken Jerry Swinefeld aside and told him how to pronounce Porsche.
You would think this clown with 40 plus P-Cars would know how to say it.

Thanks for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent job of capturing the "lifestyle" and what these cars mean to some of us.

I watched it last night on the way home. I wasn't that impressed, I guess I expected more. Seeing the cars was fun, but the rest of it was boring. The stories weren't that interesting.

You would have thought too it might have been in HD.

Thanks for the 'heads-up' Tony, I enjoyed it. I don't know what others were expecting, but I thought it a fun little film. Gave some nice insights into Sam Cibaglio (sp?) and his son who manage Seinfeld's collection.

Kind of interesting. One of the best parts for me as a Land Cruiser guy was the shot of the Toyota FJ40! Definitely didn't expect to see that in a Porsche commercial.

Tony-- Thanks for the hyperlink.
My miscellaneous observations:
I enjoy being around Porsche luvers, so this reminded me of that, which I liked.
Was surprised Porsche featured the self-described "piecemeal" 1965 993 996 discussed above.
Uhm, I liked the blue 993 ... whatta surprise![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
Choice quote of enthusast describing his daughter, Regan:
Nice to see Keystone, Colorado PCA Parade featured. I admired James Cambron's 993 Turbo at the Concours & on the racetrack, so it was nice to see him interviewed about exactly that. In the first segment that features him (he's arguably the 'star' ... on camera the most), however, it was crushing that the editors intercut a silver Boxster racing
, while James talked about racing his Turbo, then they faded back to his silver 993.
He's in later segment, narrating autocrossing his Turbo, yet the 'commercial' shows similar again - Boxsters & Caymans.
PS A couple of random shots I took of Mr. Cambron racing. I neglected to share 'em on the "2009 Keystone PCA Parade pix thread," so kudos to HoggeL for his bottom Concours photo.

Because of a wonderful RLer, I've had the pleasure of spending time with the Cabiglios. Really enjoy them as people, & enjoyed seeing 'em in the above film.
I dig how the film's fade-out shots of both of them show them driving separate Speedsters.
OT, but same reason I enjoy the last half of this Porsche web commercial:
Web photo I zapped to Sam. I know he's thrilled beyond words that his son shares his love of Porsches...
![](http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7826/3851909302471a793eb6oa.jpg)
The above photo doesn't make me jealous.
However, since his son personally told me he's driven the below 993 Speedster, well, maybe the following photo makes me a wee bit envious ...yeh, I'm shallow![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)
