Default Looking for commercials...

I am seeking computer format versions of two relatively recent Porsche commercials.

One is the full length commercial with the boy who sees the 911 driving outside his school, walks down to the Porsche dealer and says he will be back in (specified amount of time). This was an extremely compelling ad I may say. Kudos to this agency.

The other is the one where a guy wakes up, or something, and gets in his old porsche, not sure which model, and sees a new porsche, not sure which model.

Sorry for all the ambiguity, I have only seen either ad once or twice.

So, does anyone have links?

Thanks!! Evan

The first commercial was for the 996 model 911 and the second commercial you refer to was a Boxster commercial... in case this helps you source it...

Cheers;

Most all of Porsche's commercials, video and print, are directed by our friend Jeff Zwart. Jeff also is the King of Pike's Peak, winning his class every year in a Porsche.
Not alot of access to all the commercials, but here are a few....

The spot with the old guy who decides to go for a ride in his 550 and sees the Boxster is great. But my new favorite is the spot for the BMW 5-series stationwagon where the guy's dog shows up to go for a ride wearing an old football helmet.

school kid 997 commercial:

"it's a funny thing about a Porsche:
there's the moment you know you want one, there's the moment you first own one,
and for the truely afflicted, there's the decade or two that passes in between."

14 years for me.

this one's pretty good too (993?):
