A new Porsche 911 is always intriguing because it’s exciting to see how after more than 40 years of improvement the Porsche team still manages to bring changes and advancements to this iconic model.

The new 997 blends the sleek contemporary appearance of the 996 series with the popular retro styling of the older 911′s. The front end is finished with round lights and separate parking/fog/indicator lights. This change, combined with wider hips resembles the last of the air-cooled 911′s, the 993. Other changes in the body shell are the new door handles, wing mirrors and the stylish cut of the rear wings into the bumper/lights.

Even if the 997 looks a lot like the preceding model, the 996, the new car is in point of fact 38mm wider which makes for a more forceful look. With each new model brought out, Porsche has tried to reduce the drag co-efficient helping the 911 glide through the air more efficiently thereby aiding performance. The same thing has been done with the new car, and if we compare the 993 Cd of 0.34 to the 997`s 0.28, we can see how far the aerodynamic game has moved on. The latest body shell and rear wing combine with new under body paneling to also offer increased levels of down force for this latest evolution of Porsche’s best.  Read more...

When you go on a date with someone there are certain things you should or should not do and certain ways you should behave. Of course you want the person to get to know you, so, first off, you oughtn’t attempt to be someone that you are not.

After all, If you don’t care about what the other person thinks, then you probably oughtn’t to be going out on a date with them in the first place, should you?

This pointer really depends on the person you are taking out. It applies more to a man dating a woman, obviously, but some women don’t like having doors opened for them either.
