Porsche. There is no substitute. by soboy5

Porsche. There is no substitute.

Today's title is one of the greatest marketing slogans ever created for an automobile. And it is also the most memorable line from one of my favorite movies, Risky Business.

Here is one of my favorite Porsches. The 914 is a mid-engined, targa-topped two-seat roadster designed, manufactured and marketed collaboratively by Volkswagen and Porsche from 1969 to 1976. Unloved by many for years, it is finally getting recognition for being a true Porsche and a very fun sports car to own and drive.

Please view this image large to see the raindrops.

We've had two days of Ferraris from Italy and two days of Porsches from Germany. Tomorrow we will visit England.


Nice shot, very evocative.

Cool those droplets really add something. Like its sweating after a heavy work out or something.

Super.

Is this YOUR car?! Love the rain drops!

@amandalomonaco Not mine, Amanda - just saw it at a local car show. I have a 1992 Miata as my toy.
December 23rd, 2012  
Oh...what color? Mine was a 97 and was red. I miss it. Sold it when I was pregnant with my first child. The most fun I've ever had in a car!
December 23rd, 2012  
@amandalomonaco Mine is white, it is in almost new condition, a really fun car. The suspension has had some work so it handles like a race car. I had an MGB and a Triumph Spitfire in my youth and the Miata is the proper descendant of those great sports cars.

@soboy5 Sigh. Off to drive my lameo minivan...One day I will have a miata again. Love the wind in my hair!

Love your Pov and the water droplets! Beautifully captured!
December 23rd, 2012  
Your lighting and pov is great, Danny!

Great angle, White Porsches always seem so much whiter than other white cars!
December 23rd, 2012  
Great detail on the water droplets. I like the angle that you shot this as well.
