When I think of Porsche, luxury, prestige, and class are never what I think about. Maybe racing prestige may pop into my mind to a minute degree, but I mainly think about performance, lovely induction and exhaust sounds, and the absurd fun of throwing that big fat booty around.
You guys touched on some very cool points on owning a 911. I think the social aspect is so overlooked and yet so valuable. I've made so many great friends over the years. I'm going out to breakfast this morning with a group of friends that I met randomly driving through some mountain town three years ago. We get together once a month or so for a drive and food.
Brilliant cars. I had a stock '89 3.2 Carerra and then a mildly modified 996 GT3. Brilliant cars especially the GT3 which I had for 12 years and which I regret selling.
I have a Gemballa 911 Convertible 1984 for the last 33 years and its so special and ITS SO MUCH FUN !!! . Nothing is available on the market to replace it .th-cam.com/video/WU19ztb5SXU/w-d-xo.html
For me re the question if money was no object, I'd get a Ruf. All the cars here are gorgeous and desirable but the one that really turns my crank is the blue GT3 Touring.
Nice video, suggest to also ask the 718 and 981 crowds as these segments cater many porsche club users, not to mention many now are entering race circuits
They might be expensive but they don't depreciate which nearly all other cars do. Factor that in and there not expensive at all, I made 20% on my last Cayman S in 2 yrs!
@@SESFilms Urgh, "investment" in this context...look at it in terms of fun that let's you lose less value during the years than with some other car. Nothing more. Should never be an investment.
After you discover that this video has absolutely nothing to offer, at least you can entertain yourself trying to figure out which sunglass guy is more of a douche.
If you a simple Porsche it won’t require to much from you I’ll probably go to the early model air cooled you know then you have a car of your own it becomes you!!!!
Interesting vid, I have a 2022 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 I’m definitely a Porsche guy and I daily mine. I think you miss part of the culture of you limit it to the 911 owners
I agree with you, we didn’t capture the Porsche culture to it’s entirety. We will in the future, this was the first episode of a show we are working on, this was a test and now we will improve. Thank you for sharing and don’t have too much fun with your 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 😊🙈
Can we have a 10 hour special on that white 993 please? absolutely stunning...I've seen it before on IG but anyone has a video or a presentation/forum thread about it? with specs, sizes, etc..
Cost of ownership is worse than you can imagine. Most mechanics won't work on them and even the so-called Porsche 'specialists' usually do a terrible job fixing them as well. If you have a problem with your transmission, good luck. Your local shop won't fix it and you will have to send it out to a specialist to get it worked on and it still won't work right. Been there done that.
That's true about shops doing poor work, even "good" shops. I've owned a lot of enthusiast cars and shops don't really do a good job. There will always be something that is not quite adjusted right and takes multiple trips to fix.
The mac daddys I know don't carp about money- they have plenty. The funny thing is even though they could easily afford to have a shop maintain their longhoods they prefer to do it themselves. As daddy mac says- "If you want something done right, do her yourself".
Was interested in this until I heard you pronounce Porsche. Would think you would pronounce it correctly. You don’t. Hard to have much confidence in what you have to say.
Funny you should say that....I've heard many people over the years pronounce it without the "shuh" at the end, including Jay Leno, and I think he knows a thing or two about cars, but I'll share this just for kicks...a few years ago a female acquaintance of mine heard me say it without the "shuh" and tried to correct me, and I just laughed, and asked her to name 3 different models they offered, and she couldn't name one, which I knew, because she didn't know s--- about cars....she was all mouth and no brains, but she just couldn't resist trying to correct me, because she attended a Porsche event with another one of her shit for brain girlfriends.....lol
Going to toally disagree with the love for that white one. Looks like some bolted on kit car. Horrific. I'd be embarrassed to drive that as a Porsche owner for decades. Reminds me of some kitted out Honda or something. Yuck.

My 911 is easily the most satisfying driving experience I’ve ever had
The 996 GT3 owner is my kind of guy. Black 911 with a Speedy Pro Moonwatch!
Really cool format and content, definitely a great addition to the Porsche content on TH-cam. Subbed!
Thanks! I wanted to go into more detail but we were low on time.

I love this small commentary on the many different generations. Im a Porsche lover for life. Thank you
For sure, I didn't know anything about Porsche's till I talked to these guys. Wonderful cars.

997.5 will always be one of my favourites

Great suggestion! It may take some time before we chat with that crowd.
I love my Cayman 718.
love that G Body

Sounds like a good investment.

That modded white 993 is chef’s kiss
It really is a work of art! ❤️ We have a full video on his car coming out
After you discover that this video has absolutely nothing to offer, at least you can entertain yourself trying to figure out which sunglass guy is more of a douche.
Jeans guy. 100%.
LMAO 😂😂
Omg 😂 😂 Lol. I know Jeans guys and Varun, on his right. They're cool dudes. Lol. The others I'm not sure. 😂
If you a simple Porsche it won’t require to much from you I’ll probably go to the early model air cooled you know then you have a car of your own it becomes you!!!!
Nice, thanks
Thank you for watching!
when i think about porsche i think quality and heritage
I keep hearing horror story issues with 911s engine wise and ‘but they’re bulletproof’ in one sentence, which is it? Haha
Interesting vid, I have a 2022 718 Cayman GTS 4.0

What motor issue/s does the 991.1 have?
When I think of porsh, i think of American pronunciation
HAHA Yeah, everyone has been saying we don't say it right.
It’s not porch it’s Porsche say it in German sounds like Portia porsya!
Can we have a 10 hour special on that white 993 please? absolutely stunning...I've seen it before on IG but anyone has a video or a presentation/forum thread about it? with specs, sizes, etc..
There will be a video coming out about his car in the future. It's been recorded just need time to work on it.
Prestige, class? hell no. Porsche has always been a down to basics driver's cars.
Thanks for the correction.

Stfu, you read like a snobby English teacher. Poorshu'Ah
I didn’t know I was saying it wrong, none of the guys corrected me but thanks for letting me know. 🙈
