How this New Orleans chef found his dream Porsche 993 C4S on Marqued
Joel Dondis understands the value of mentors and the importance of leaning on the accumulated wisdom of those around him to shine a light on his own path. A celebrated chef and entrepreneur in his native Louisiana, Dondis learned at an early age that humility – the capacity to admit when he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know – is perhaps the defining mark of wisdom.

Every year at Luftgekühlt, one car steals the show. This is no easy feat, given that Luft’s annual celebration of Porsche’s air-cooled heritage regularly features the best examples of the marque’s history, from one-off prototypes to bespoke custom builds to legendary race cars.

From track days to dog parks, the E46 M3 is the premier one-car solution
Atrina Mehdipour wants you to know that her BMW E46 M3 – like E46 M3s in general – is perfectly reliable and trouble-free in every way. Well, other than the four times it has left her stranded. Oh, and then there’s the fact that the E46 M3’s engine is apt to grenade itself at any minute if the owner hasn’t undertaken a preventative rod bearing fix. But other than that it’s…oh, wait, did she mention that you’ll need to reinforce the subframe, lest that should crack the first time you nod in its direction? Right, well, put that on the list, too. But other than that, these cars are bulletproof. Sorry, what’s that? No, Mehdipour would prefer not to discuss the car’s VANOS variable valve timing system.
