My ex wife said a family man should not drive a 911. In the end I kept the 911 and got rid of the wife
bruh
Ahahahh! Cannot blame you!
Such great women magnets . Yes!!
My lady on the other hand told me, if you want it and you can afford it, without jeopardising anything else, go for it, life is for the living! She doesn't like speed though, so have to be gentle on the throttle when she's in the car😂. Sometimes I am below the speed limit and she tells me I am going too fast 😂, even though she's a right Schumacher when she drives her little Mini Cooper 😂😂😂. Cracks me up...
Being a 56 year old Porsche virgin - the biggest one for me is that not all Porsche owners are pretentious snobs. I own an 04 986S and I love it - couldn’t give a monkey’s chunky about what others think but all of the owners of far nicer car than mine are always very complimentary (and I’m not smelling sheeite either). It’s a great community that’s very, very diverse. It’s actually far less wanky than I ever thought it would be, so if you are thinking of pulling the trigger on a Porsche at whatever level you can afford - go for it.
94 986S ??? -- Take a look at this .....

I assumed so. I have a 2000 986S. I just love it.
Leider hat man in Deutschland sehr viele Neider. Im Rest Europas ist das zum Glück anders.
I have a 2000 986S as well, complete with ambers. And I love them.
They are just damn good sports cars. I have recently purchased a new one and went through the configuration adventure. Turns out you don’t need leather wrapped air vents, a $5000 sound system and carbon fibre roof to enjoy the car. Mine is pretty basic and is still amazing because very few options actually affect the drive.
I must agree 💯, very few options ever affect the driver of a Porsche. I have a 981 Cayman Base and the driving experience is exhilarating 🏎
Still rolling in my 987.1 base and still enjoying every second of it
Don't know how you buy or take care of your Porsche's but I've made money on each of my past 911's. These are one of the best engineered cars made!
Your absolutely correct on IMS . I've had my 986 from new for 24 years. Let them warm up like any car and treat them with respect and stop worrying.
I currently own a 997.1 S automatic and love it. I have been a mechanic for 50 years and know cars, Porsches are well engineered, classic styling, and fun to drive. At the end of the day it’s what puts a smile on our face when we drive our cars.
Totally agree with the value myth. I started my Porsche journey in a £9k 987.1 base Boxster. All the time I owned it I loved it but was thinking that a more expensive newer model would be even better. Ended up spending three times as much on a 987.2 Cayman S - great car but I genuinely preferred the flying around in the Boxster. The Cayman has now gone and I’m on the hunt for a well cared for base 987 Boxster again - £10k max!!
I daily drive a Panamera S. It has loads of horsepower and I can take my friends out to dinner in style. It might not be as “good” as a 911, but having a huge backseat definitely makes up for it.
Funnest cars I have ever owned. After many higher end models that were garage queens, I now have base 911 (992) and boxter S (718) and putting on the MILES. Great community of drivers.
In my opinion service papers do matter, especially for classic Porsche‘s with high mileage.
It is key to have a documented history and exactly that you only can prove with a seamless service book; best of all, stamped by Porsche dealers (or other approved garages; but not privately stamped). Today so much cheating with false mileage and history of classic cars. That’s why.
I bought a 997 c2s at the end of 2022, with tons of history as it was my best mate's car and I love it! No pretentiousness, just fun. I have various other cars, which I love too (BMW Z4 e85 3.0i, 406 coupe 3l V6) and it's all about the fun of driving these 😎🥳
Another one is once you have one you can’t leave them alone, each one was my last, I am on my 4th one😅
66 912 and 07 987 Cayman owner and I really enjoy my base models ! They always put a smile on my face when I look at them and when I drive them. The amount of joy per money is great with base models !
On my 7th 911 … I have driven all of them - No garage queens. I currently own a 992 GT3 Touring Manual. I’m not saving it for the next guy. No way
My first Porsche and daily driver is a 987 - bought last year at 62 why have I wasted so much time not having a Porsche - will never sell this car !
I bought a 5th hand 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet just over 12 years ago. I commuted in her every day until I retired. Wonderful. An absolute delight. I stay away from the main dealer and use a local specialist. Perhaps it was paranoia but I had the IMS bearing upgraded last year - just in case. It's her 24th birthday in May. Big party? Hood down accompanied by that Flat-6 Symphony is Ooooooh!
Good video. There’s Something about just being able to have driven or been able to own any Porsche for that matter. After my 996 turbo stick my now 997 turbo Tiptronic makes me smile and feel so good when I fire it up & take off as does other Porsche owners regardless of the year, make & style. Cheers
Own a 981 cayman GTS and it is a beast.. with chicago weather .. no need to go overboard on throttle during cool months. Car is one of the most satisfying I have ever driven.. probably won’t die if I don’t own a a gt3 rs
2014 981, owned for 8 years with a perma grin each and every time I start her up.
You are right on the money! I bought a 981 Boxster last summer and I have SO much fun it in. There's always the temptation to "upgrade" to a 911, but I don't enjoy the drive as much! Enjoy what you enjoy, you don't need to show off in something you don't like!
I'm with you. I have a 2000 986S. I could afford faster and fancier but I can't keep a smile off of my face with this. I intend to drive it until either its or my wheels fall off.
Same here got a 981BB two years ago and can't think of myself selling it. It's such a fun car.
What year??@@victorc1611
I can relate to the smile! Something about taking those corners in my mid-engine!@@williampotter2098
Love my 997.2 Turbo S. I’ll drive it till the wheels fall off!!! 😎
Great video just found your channel as I have a 2016 981! Love the changes on your car especially the wheels! Thanks for sharing and cheers from Houston Texas!
Love my 996.2 I laugh every time I think of what I paid for it. It already had the IMS bearing fix on it. And the fried egg headlamps have grown on me and I intend to show them off proudly!
I don't even think about the yellow on my headlights. I think the fried-egg thing started because the "cool kids" were just trying to disparage the new cheap water-cooled design. Kind of like the hatred for the Dino among Ferrari aficionados, I think people have forgotten they are supposed to dislike both of those cars. The early Boxsters were a revolution and the Dino was just a gorgeous car. (but I quit lusting after one when I learned that my cheap Boxster had faster specs than the crazy money Dino)
All good, but not sure about COVID, think this was just the start, unfortunately
you loose money om the GT3s as well... The GT3 RS are different, they'll rather keep their money
In 2010 I bought a 987.2 Cayman S, as I wasn't going to deal with the previous generation engine with it's flaws that are very expensive to rectify and at one time there was nothing short of buying a new long block for them. I'll be keeping this one for a long time and I do all my own servicing and modifications.
My 981 Cayman gives me so much joy. I got my techart front splitter because of your Cayman. Looks so good!
My Porsche cured my ED!
Impressive
lol love this
oh my! 🙃
UTTER NONSENSE the 911 is perfectly fine as a family car….
Okay she’s gone….
Horrendous practicality but screw it 😂
Great advice…video…well done!👍
“Covid is a once in a lifetime experience…………”
Re-read this comment in under a decade…….
So true about the misinformation on the IMS issues… fueled by internet warriors and the same companies selling the “retrofit”…
I'm very happy with my 2013 991, and my 2023 TAYCON.
I know nothing about the Taycon, fearing my brain can't handle the great looks and equally cool aspects about it, all at once. 😅
Drive it like you stole it…love my 992 Carrera S Cab manual as my daily, great daily driver.
I have a 2007 987 Boxster S. It’s fun to drive, has classic good looks and isn’t loaded down with tech.
😊😊😊😊😊 same thing I say about our 1983 944 !!!!😊😂😂😂😂👍🍺🍺🍺
Love my plain Jane 996 even after 15 years.....just something about the feel of these first generation water coolers ,must more visceral than the newer ones.
Great vid. I’m not a Porsche driver but like them. 🎉
Still waiting on my first Porsche. One of these days.
One day mate. You got this 💪
I do all my own work. These Porsche are so easy to work on.
Try to get to the oil filter on a 718.
yeah man, well spoken!
My 992GTS works well as a daily but not even close to my Panamera. My 986 Boxster is still the most fun and your not instantly breaking every speed limit although the GTS is a great track day car.
Wow you are so right
So true, well done 👍
Haha very good! I have a Cayman, it is my only car. I have 3 kids.
..Fortunately my wife has a very nice family car :)
Well said!
hi yes you will lose money but you will have fun in summer
All true !
Very well said!
As a 992 Targa4GTS owner, you’re absolutely correct ✅
Worth notice.
were did you get the side skirts from i would love a pair on mine
Targas are real women magnets ! I love it
i am hesitant between a 2 years old regular cayenne and a 4 years old cayenne S, both have the same price almost given the age difference...which one it is wiser to buy to not lose too much money an still enjoy the Porsche experience ?
True my 987.1S is slightly slower than my 640dGC loaded with shite in the back. Still love it though
Nice points all-around Satch! I absolutely agree!
My neighbor said, the best way to warm up a car is to drive it!!!!
In regards to servicing. My 2012 997.2 GTS 4 manual cabriolet is about at 40,000 miles. That's one of the bigger services as recommended And, will be twice as expensive at a Porsche dealer here in the US versus a reputable foreign car specialist I have used. What are your thoughts there? This service requires spark plugs, coils, etc.
thank you
Phil.
If it’s the big service then it might be a good idea to get that one done at a good specialist. It’s all about finding the right balance for you and also thinking about if you plan to keep for a long time, or sell it on soon.
I used a Independent Porsche repair and maintenance at the 40k service on my Cayman, that was 3 years ago. Just took a 3 hr trip today. My Porsche showed up and showed out, as usual 🏎
Agreed, an independent is fine. For reference, plugs and coils aren't that difficult to change. But the dealership will make it seem like it is.
What about the chick magnet myth? Is that true?
I have the money I just don’t know if I should choose a 911 or Cayenne. Ofc I will use it daily
I’ve had both a Cayenne hybrid S and my current 997 C4S both very wonderful but very different. You won’t regret either but honestly in my experience, the Cayenne fit more for true everyday driving.
Never buy a Porsche jacket when you buy a Porsche? 🐵
Only kidding
Cool video
I’m hoping to own a Porsche once those 3 kids of mine grow up and leave me with some money
I just got a new shirt made for me that reads " PORSCHE, MORE THAN JUST GETTING THERE "!!!! THOUGHTS???😊😊😊😊
Ok right off the bat don't buy cars (or any luxury item for that matter) as investments. With very few exceptions you will lose money. And when it comes to cars if it does appreciate unless it is a truly rare car the value will fall. Look at where pre war cars were 10 to 15 years ago compared to now. In the next 10 or so years prices of 60s and 70s will start falling.
As always Al, you’re funny as sh💩t …! I love driving my Porsches here in SF❤
Thanks man. I was in SF last year. Love the place 😀
1 that I often hear: buy a Porsche to pick up women! 😂😂 So not true!! Women don't care about the cars we drive but mainly about how much money we have! 😂😂
Great! keep the videos coming!
My friends think I bought my 911 because it’s a chick magnet. Sorry folks. It’s pretty much only guys who stop in their tracks, stare at my car and wanna talk Porsche.
same for guys who get buff at gym, mostly jsut guys who ask questions and give adulation. with my M4 there are some girls who stop and stare.
Useful consumer advice!
