Tonight! 7/12 - SPEED Channel does the 911

I just watched the last half of a 30-minute show on the 911. What I saw was spectacular. The show is "SPEED Test Drive".

I'm on the east coast, meaning those of you around the rest of the country should have time to watch it, depending on the various show schedules.

It's on again tonight at 11:00 EST, and you know I already have it scheduled to be recorded.

I watched this last night, and unfortunately didn't get much out of it.

Basically a long Porsche commercial showing that people from various walks of life love their Porsches and find them usable as DDs, but little real info about the cars themselves. Also, various Porsche models were discussed, rather than focusing on the 911.

Exactly: 30-minute paid advertisement as part of the Porsche EveryDay campaign, but advertised as Speed Test Drive (which all of those are infomercials anyway). It's an interesting watch, but nothing of great interest that any current Porsche owner doesn't already know.
