Welcome to "Blü, the Girl-Powered Porsche" Blog

Blü is a 2001 Lapis blue Porsche Boxster-S. She is a six-speed, manual transmission, six cylinder, two-seater convertible with a hard top. She's a blast to drive. I got her in the Fall of 2014 after waiting decades.

When I was a kid on the CYO track team, our assistant coach pulled up in her little MG with the top down. She was a long haired, seventeen year old Blonde. Even at ten, I knew that was sexy. Being the practical personality that I am, I didn't even think about it much until a Facebook post showed up one day.

A friend, Aaron, was selling his father's silver Porsche Boxster to make way in the garage for a vintage Ferrari. I told him, "Tell me you sold it because I don't have a garage." He said, "I sold it." Instead of letting the matter rest, I went on Craig's List and started poking around. I found a beautiful, deep blue Porsche with a removable hard top.

On the way to a video shoot, I stopped by and got a test drive. Nate was looking to make room in his garage for some race motorcycles. I thought, well, that's a reasonable reason to let a Porsche go. It turns out Nate is friends with one of my college buddies who also rides. Small world.

I take Blü every chance I get and so I've been able to take her on some of my travels. But not all of them. Come on back and I'll fill you in on some of my adventures.
