One of the lessons I've learned during my life is that it's often difficult to tell ahead of time which issues and events in your life will grow into major ordeals. Accordingly, I think it's wise to pay attention to the details for everything since you just never know when the details might become important in the future. It is with this archival spirit that the page you are reading was created.
If you just want car porn, photos are over here.
If you are considering purchasing a Porsche of your own then I hope that the information available here is useful to your decision making. While the plural of "anecdote" is not "data", it's often nice to be able to see what another person's experiences have been.
