    Slight threadjack related to Porsche and photos. We lined up all the Porsches for a photo shoot here at Laguna Seca today between turns 3 and 4, So I took a quick vid of them during staging. I had to do it quickly but I hope your favorite is there.

    @joneez helped you buy a new car: Great video, thanks! Looks like that's the place to be today.

    By any chance, could you help me identify this Porsche that I saw in the pits at the Nurburgring a few years ago? I don't think it's a 917 (though it could be a hillclimb variant), but doesn't really look like a 910 either.

    The mention Panamera design cues. Aside from the rear side glass, I'm not seeing Panamera cues.

    Anyone else? What am I missing?

    I suppose it's better it was a fake than to have to curse out the Carpocalypse again (since if it were real, it'd be cancelled far too soon).

    Someone should make one for the heck of it. I have an unhealthy obsession with shooting brakes/wagons and whatnot. I'm sure the folk at Stola will be happy to have a go. It's not like they're doing anything these day.

    That sucks! I guess TG doesn't have any hot interns. Just a bunch of nerdy geeks with too much time on their hands.

    Having worked with Maya for a semester, I can say that these guys have done some pretty good work - definitely better than what I could have pulled off.

    On that note, here's a video of a dog in a garage that I modeled, animated, and rendered:

    @BaconSandwich just found out how to change his...: Everything's happy and great, until he turns around-- dead eyes! Gah!

    Also, was that a rather bubbly Panoz Roadster?

    Well now somebody has to build it! Does anyone remember the 1552 designs Jetta two-door? It started off as a rendering and ended up looking great in the flesh. Now that I look at it again, it seems a little dated but I remember really liking it in 2002 but probably because I owned my own Mk II Jetta coupe at the time.

    @Joshman Nanzaret: I do remember that. I recall feeling that the doors weren't quite long enough to make it look quite right to me (though they did swap them out, instead of using the original [short] front doors).

    Still, the workmanship was fantastic.

    "They all have way too much free time on their hands" was my first reaction. Then I read further, and at least two of these guys are interns, so they are, you know, free (well, relatively, but you catch my drift).

    Anyway, I never did look at the original post because I'm not at all interested in anything Porsche makes.

    The biggest lesson to be learned here is that Jalopnik is waaaaay quicker from tip to post than those other blogs.

    In the words of one of my favorite movie characters of all time "I knew I made a good choice."
