Tedward you have no idea how much I appreciate these therapy drive videos of yours. I go back and watch your previous videos sometimes a lot too, I’ve had an obnoxiously shitty week that’s thankfully getting better and this video is like an onramp to the highway of better days ahead. this weekend means no classes so I’ll do some therapy driving of my own. You’re a really great human and your video quality and content show that
I owned two 1980 911SC's. First one got destroyed by a rear end collision right next to Burbank airport, and it was Tobacco Brown. After I lost the first, drive a Miata from new 1992. Not enough power, so sold it and I found another 911SC and drove it for about 14000 before a friend insisted that HE buy it. I sure wish I kept another one, with the costs these days.
Re: distracted driving and greedy moves into traffic. Any time I find myself considering a risky move, in admittedly a fast enough car to pull it off, I think, “do I want to spend the next 10 seconds waiting, or the next two hours filing an accident report?” I’d rather be slightly annoyed than furious, so it’s a pretty easy call.
If the driver spends a lot of time in the higher revs or at higher speeds it’s common to rotate the tacho/speedo to make that range the most easily visible.
Regarding the nostalgia of feeling young and dumb, I get that completely. It is what I chase in a vehicle, and it's why I don't actually find a ton of joy in my ATS-V other than when I go full throttle for a couple seconds. I totally get the desire to be in something way more raw, because you get that feeling all the time without having to seriously break the law and put yourself and others in danger.
It is a pleasure to see and hear your 911 again, it's one of the reasons I started watching your channel 4ish years ago and it's always a treat to get more of it. Thanks for this one :)
Please put the lower lap belt through the holes in the base of the seats instead of over the top of them to avoid submarining! You can get seatbelt extensions for the buckle that you can loop through the hole to achieve this.
Always love seeing this car on your channel. I just bought my first air cooled car - a 1973.5 Viper Green 911T hot rod - and I’m BEYOND excited. This video totally encapsulates what the air cooled driving experience is all about. Thanks for sharing as always!
you're also forgetting the fact that road deaths are increasing because of intentional misconduct on the roads these days. look at the social media scene for "cutting up" basically just reckless driving while recording for social media clout, this influences a lot of people to drive the way they do, as its "fun" (adrenaline inducing), but selfish and dangerous
The gauge slant is a great idea, I need to do that on mine. No steering wheel adjust means you get the choice of the tacho obscured by the factory wheel or the speedo obscured by a race wheel. Pretty much everything you said about the 911 follows my sentiments about my modded 190E. I drove a lot of AMG especially for work including the GT/R and all the 63s and still rate my rough old 190E as pound for pound the most fun for engagement although an older C-class 512-edition is the most hairy if being terrified is engagement and the GT/R of course is a loss of license if you touch the accelerator anywhere on a public road, at all which actually makes that not a fun car to drive at all, you spend the whole time idling everywhere wishing you were on a track. My old car feels fun and powerful within its own context whilst staying easily within road laws and as you said, is tons of fun and completely engaging even when driving casually.
I have a 3v mustang and it’s manual… rn it’s in the shop and also in storage for another 5 months and man I miss driving her 😭 there is absolutely no better feeling than having raw power like that! And the noise that circulates through the cabin is like no other. My family is all used to the feelin of normal cars like my mom 2012 Hyundai accent, when she gets in my passenger seat even she gets a little excited. Man no matter how bad a situation may be, u cannot be sad for longer than 3 or 4 minutes in the mustang. It’s just such a good feeling
Love your videos! Air cooled 911s are special cars. I really regret selling my 88 3.2 Carrera many years ago. My advice: hang on to your one! It is a keeper.
4:35 That's definitely totally true man. Especially around us here in the North East, I'm in North Jersey, people can't drive at all nowadays. I notice people are either extremely oblivious and distracted or driving extremely recklessly to the point to which they don't care. There's not a lot in between haha. Anyway, good video as always and that Porsche is definitely a keeper!
Can't beat that old school feeling, recently bought my first car and it's a 85 chevrolet chevette, bit a of a shitbox rn but looking forward to the seat time while i get it running (also mods soon:tm:)
Just rolled over 94k miles in my 1980 SC today and can definitely relate to having to come to terms with knowing that a slight mistake on my or someone else's part could put me in the hospital, or worse, but the driving experience is just TOO good to move on from it.
Great video ! This is the first time I’ve seen the tilted gauges. I like it. I am a 62 yr old wanna be Porsche owner. I currently have a 2005 S2000 Honda (the poor man’s Porsche). The driving experience is absolutely the best. Maybe one day I’ll own a Porsche. Thanks for sharing your sharp 911SC
@@TedwardDrives I stand corrected. I realized my mistake after commenting. Still learning… I look forward to more of your videos . I will be watching with envy😎
Beautiful car, man! Since I got my '78 SC, I've been considering starting filming as well. She's drives like a dream, so it's kind of hard to not share it with others 😁
Never sell the 911! I sold my 964 two years ago, and even though I replaced it with a 996, I still regret it every day. The newer cars are just not the same.
I've always found it interesting how the flat-six sounds relatively relaxed at 4-5K rpm. My old '72 911T had a similar sound. I hit 5K in my current Miata and it's wailing a good bit more.
I always enjoy seeing you take this for a rip-no rev hang and lots of mechanical noises! The annoying thing is the shift light in the tach, not the slant. The light in my buddy's 911 is ALWAYS on lol, I'd be disabling it. Yours seems a little more sane.
That's the exact Porsche that I wanted back in the day. I could've bought one for around $20K in the late 90's and have regretted not buying one ever since.
Was really cool experience seeing you drive this car, because I've only seen you pull up in it or drive off. She's so smooth like butter. I'm intrigued by these sideways gauges. I'd like to try them. I think I miss driving a little.
I get the same feeling whenever I take out my 2003 SVT Cobra…..what awesome driving experience….My Mini R56 Turbo is like a fine edged knife…Cobra like a sledgehammer…..😂😂.
Love it man! I miss that sound. As I’ve mentioned before, the 1977 Slant Nose that you drove a few years ago out of MA is in restoration. When it’s finished, I’d love to have you out to do another video on it in its new state. Likely early next summer near Chicago.
I'm confused how the Porsche outing had anything to do with Lexus oil change when when neither dropped someone off or picked them up. Nice Porsche. I understand your delight in owning it.
Those older 911's are great, such a unique driving experience... BUT they're totally not worth the market prices these days. I used to have a 1973 911S MFI, all original car, was great fun to drive, made great noises, redlined at 7300 rpm. Had its "old car quirks", nothing terrible. There's no freaking way I would pay current market price for that thing (probably at least 120k if not more)- I bought it for 18k back in the day and people made fun of me for paying too much lol. Great for people that own them, but man the market doesn't make any sense.
sometimes i wonder if air cooled porsches are overpriced nowadays, but honestly it is just so stylish has distinct character and is a lot more reliable than other old sport cars for a similar price
Awesome car. I like no-nannies, raw vehicles. I was considering buying one of these about 20 years ago, but my (modified) MR2 SC was pretty much just as fast. In retrospect, it would have been a much better investment to move to the 911.
She's beautiful man. The 911 is always the answer. FanFreakinTastic!!! Great capture on that driver NGAF and just doing their selfish move. I see it all the time here, and everything I own is vintage. I can't go 2 blocks from my home (in a small city) before something like that happens. That said, I'm not giving up my vintage iron, ever.
i prefer cars from 2015 down to the classics around the 60s. i own a 09 ford crown victoria police interceptor and a 2004 chevy avalanche z71 4x4. since both vehicles have over 200k miles they run like new and haven't left me stranded or made me regret the purchase. even tho both have their issues for their age im glad i have both vehicles and learned alot from youtube b4 i started driving
Jokes on you, I was about to ask about the gauges because I already forgot what you said the last time you mentioned it, but I was too lazy to lift my back to put my seat back up and pause the video. Always a fantastic vid when you bring out your 911, even if it's just for a short commute.
Vicariously enjoying the air-cooled Porsche's through these POV drives. I had the opportunity to squeeze the trigger on a 993 C2 a while back and later on, a Shark Blue 992 Carrera T. But I had to regretfully pass on both. Bought a new house (with a bigger garage) instead. [wink] Meanwhile, my wife seems to have gravitated towards the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 as of lately. She thinks it is "cute" which is *not* the adjective I want associated with our Porsche. I think 'cute' should be kept to the Boxster but (thankfully) she does not like convertibles. Speaking of the Cayman, we _both_ happen to like the GT4. It seems to have the right combination of aesthetics and mechanical prowess. Although, we also agree that it simply does not fit our lifestyle. It is not what I would consider a daily driver. I think it is easy to love the _idea_ of owning a GT4 (or any other Porsche GT cars) rather than _actual_ real-world ownership. With perhaps a small exception for the GT3 Touring but I digress. However, to be fair, I/we have also been considering an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Always good to have a Sports Sedan in the stable. Unfortunately, I *_hate_* the fact that the Giulia QV has been discontinued and, even worse; the fate of Alfa Romeo remains uncertain to say the least. I know, I know - champagne problems... Nevertheless, I appreciate your videos. The combination of scenery and pleasant commentary is very amusing - almost cathartic. May I kindly request more Porsche videos from all generations. Please and thank you. Stay classy my friend.
Cool. I would paint the wheel spokes and center cap in silver color, but leaving the backgorund that is left in black. I've seen them and look fantastic. Regards from Costa Rica.
May sound silly, but this is making me really miss my little 2nd gen Honda Fit (5spd manual). It was so nimble and fun to drive. I’ve been wanting to get one again to be able to have a manual to drive around in… maybe one day
so weird seeing you pass exits where I am from!! My hometown is Franklin, MA and man I would love to see a car of yours! Anyway hope all is well with you!!
Ted, when you get the opportunity, I think you should look into driving the Honda CRX as well. As far as I noticed, that's one car missing a video. Might have a similar feel to this Porsche, but with front engine and things like that.
I've always wanted an older 911 for all the reasons highlighted here but due to the nature of my work I have seen far too many injuries from car accidents, specifically related to facial trauma (head vs steering wheel etc). It is now unfortunately a very hard sell for me to get into something without any type of airbag while on the road.
Love your car and the clear joy it brings you!! I wish I would’ve been following you long enough to have already watched all your content on it. So I’m sure you’ve explained before but can you elaborate on the clocked tachometer in more detail? It seems counterintuitive at first glance. I’ve never seen a car that redlines at “noon” and that position seems to be blocked by the steering wheel from your POV. So on the surface it feels like undesirable placement 🤷🏼

One of the best driving experiences hands down is in an old air cooled 911! Love the view out of the windshield over the front fenders.
Exactlyyy the burge from the two eye balls
Never ever sell that PORSCHE! The mechanical sounds are music to my ears. Thanks for the ride.

Guess because during that time alot of Motorsport Porsches also had them slanted, not super sure though
So the redline is at 12 o clock

Nice. But for us old timers I use to eat them for lunch on the back roads of Marin County in the 80’s with my Shelby Charger…😊
Nice! i got a 1984 Porsche 994
Love your car and the clear joy it brings you!! I wish I would’ve been following you long enough to have already watched all your content on it. So I’m sure you’ve explained before but can you elaborate on the clocked tachometer in more detail? It seems counterintuitive at first glance. I’ve never seen a car that redlines at “noon” and that position seems to be blocked by the steering wheel from your POV. So on the surface it feels like undesirable placement 🤷🏼
Looks and sound are more important than raw speed.
Congrats on the 88k Tom! I only wish my cars were that low🤣 my '94 coupe is close to 203k (in km, not sure what the ml would be)
Thank you! It translates to only about 126k miles!
Doesn't sound as bad when you put it in miles🤣
I love my 84 M491
Wow 🤩
8:57 I always worry that my '87 is burning too much oil but then I remember I also do this on every on ramp
You live right near me in MA lol. I take my Kawasaki Z900 down by that McDonalds and WalMart all the time.
Finally
That's the kind of therapy I need but my health insurance wouldn't cover😅
My favorite porshe it's the 1976 porshe Targa
