Everyone has passion. Be it for guns, music, sports or cars, all of us know unbridled love for something. For some, this driving force takes them all over the world to experience various forms of what makes them tick.
For example, if hockey is your thing, touring the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto will be an excellent way to get closer to this feverish sport. While hockey is clearly a sweet spot of most Canadians, there are few other passions on this planet better served than cars.
In North America alone, we have countless buildings dedicated to this industry including the amazing Petersen Museum in Los Angeles and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. Europe also has some incredible collections in which we can include Volkswagen's Autostadt and perhaps the most famous of all the Porsche Museum, located in the Porscheplatz in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

I recently made my way to Porsche's Mecca and it quite literally blew my mind. Opened on January 31st 2009, the Museum has already received over 1 million visitors. Ponder that number for a moment. Initially, Porsche expected to get 200,000 people through the turnstiles per year. In two and a half years, they've at least doubled that amount. That's crazy, yet totally understandable.
