"I've had so many great times in it, all over the world. Even the Eskimos like it!"
As you may have guessed, this is no ordinary Porsche; Lorenzo has owned his 356-A since he was 21, and in his over 50 years of ownership he has put over a million miles on the clock. Along with his Million Mile Porsche, he has lived a mind blowingly full life. For many, “being spontaneous” means an unplanned trip to the beach or going out on a whim, but for Lorenzo it means throwing his adventure bag into his little Porsche and hitting the road; sometimes just to go to Julian, other times to go on a 15,000 mile road trip along the edge of North America to meet the Eskimos. “I’ll get a call to visit a friend in another state, throw my bag in the car, and hit the road”, he told me “at the very least I know it’ll always be a good time if I’m in my Porsche”. Aside from all the crazy adventures, and the cool car, the thing that is most admirable about Lorenzo is his profound appreciation for the little things in life. Even though he has embarked on countless journeys that many people only experience in their dreams, he’s just as happy driving his car 5 minutes from his house to hang out with the many friends he’s made at sunset cliffs as he is racing through the deserts of Mexico or Europe; as long as he’s with his car, nothing else matters.

Lorenzo and his lovely Porsche
Spencer Hummel for assisting with the filming of this video
& most importantly all of you watching this, we hope you are as astonished by this story as we are!
I met Lorenzo back a couple years ago randomly. He had his 356 parked up at Ocean Beach where I enjoy going to during my visits to CA. I came up to him and chatted about his car. He told me about his adventures with the 356 in the video and all the other Porsches/cars he owned over the years. We talked for quite some time. He even let me sit in his 356 and I have a video of me going into it and the only thing I say is “wow”. Lorenzo is the real deal and I hope I can cross paths with him again.
Fantastic! I love that run to Julian. Just got my father’s 356 on the road after too long sitting. Maybe I need some pie..
Nicely done! And thank you for documenting this gentle and his spectacular car. Just an old bloke driving down the road of life in his Porsche.
This was such a fun project, I hope you guys enjoy it!!
Love this, cool stories, cool dude, cool car, keep goin'
Stick with it boys ! Lorenzo knows what he's talking about! 🙏
I am “ sticking with it”. At 71 I coach skiing 3-4 days a week. I intend to keep on keeping on.
Incredible story and stunning cinematography! 👏🏼
So enjoyed this piece. I had a '59 Normal, red like yours. Over the years,
I had five 356's. All of them had great lives. In the mid 60's, there were
very few in south of the USA. People thought it was a fiat. ha. Thanks
for this film.
What part of the South were you in? They were everywhere in Atlanta.
Awesome video! 1M miles is absolutely the goal for my 3.2 911
Great video ! and a stunning car... sounds like there are possibly 7 speedster owners out there thinking they have a totally original as it left the factory car.
Thanks for sharring Lorenzo, Great Car,carrying on enjoying it
Les talk and more "car" would be nice !
Do you think 50 years from now there will be a video of someone who put 1,000,000 miles on a 2020 Panamera
Haha this is great
In 1965, i had a 1961 356 sunroof, red with saddle interior. Till today I miss that jewel of a car. Now I drive a VW GTI it’s cool too. Loved your video and the car. Stay well ! RickGTI…
Lorenzo looks like actor John Noble. Miles = smiles. Dirty car = happy driver. This is the way.
Cool video, long live this gentleman!
Lorenzo! I want to be a friend if you give Porsche's to all of them! LOL!
Great story and Great car.
Sexy 356 and a cool as F owner. You are awesome Sir!
Awesome car and even cooler guy, just met him on sunset cliffs. Thanks for the video Great work 🤙🏼 🚗
That woman had no death certificate so how on earth did she steal all his assets?
As soon as I saw this, Instant sub, what a guy, what a story.
thank you Francis!!
Damn, I absolutely loved everything about this video! Keep up all that you're doing😤🙏
Wow! Beautiful car. Hope to catch up someday in my 993.
Amazing video man!. Great story!
I hope you are still around Lorenzo. Back in the early 90's I did much the same with VW's so I had a car to get around. Buy - remove the good stuff - flip it. Love to hear it.
What a great video. Thanks for that. Inspiring in all the right ways!

Love the story
Just an incredible story.
Sat. 1/20/23, 11:30 am, Lorenzo is here. He just drove into the OB pier parking lot. He's driving his 56' Beetle. Retractable sun roof. 1600 dual port, zenith carb. Shiny chrome New Tires. Fresh oil. Draws a crowd. Hot chick walks up, captures his attention, asks him for a ride. There they go. end of story.
What a legend!
True Porsche Passion...great episode guys .

I had the opportunity to meet Lorenzo on sunset cliffs about a month ago. I had my Yashica Mat LM and a few other film cameras. Chatted with him for about an hour and grabbed some portraits of him and his car. Wish I had grabbed his email to send them to him. Let me know if you can help me out!
Hey! It’s Harrison here, Lorenzo is a hero around those parts I’m glad you got the meet him, he’s there almost everyday if you’d want to show him. I’d also love to see the portraits of him as well, if you want you can email them to me at negative25prod@gmail.com
yesss what a storytelling gift this whimsical man has. He's lucky he had y'all to encapsulate it in such a beautiful way. I look forward to seeing more Ean!!!
Any REAL proof he did a million miles?
Coleman Calgary we should have filmed proof, but it’s true he’s put well over a million miles on her
Harrison Doyle he told you that? Anybody can say they put a million miles on their sounds like he is trying to steal fire from old blue!
Coleman Calgary That’s what you think about after seeing this? 🙄 What’s he supposed to do huh? Film the odo turning over every time he hits 100k? Then you would just say he rolled back the odo each time.
I suppose you also don’t believe he lost part of his brain in an accident because he didn’t show you the medical report. Or that his wife stole all his money because he didn’t show you a police report...
@@overbuiltlimited if you have a head injury or lost a quarter of your brain you wouldn’t be driving anymore 🙄
Right on 🤲🏾! Stick wit it!
Just met this guy at sunset cliffs
he's known as the godfather of the cliffs, pretty badass right? (-:
1 Cool Speedster Guy! 🤠
I can only pray 🙏 , I grow up to be like him!!!🤠
A man blessed by God 🙏
Where was his Speedster?
@@jockellis you are so right , he is 1 Cool 356 Porsche Guy 🤓
@@jockellis no speedster here 😂 , I am really getting old , please forgive me 🙏
Love it. I would like to know how he maintains it. What oil does he use and how often does he change it. How long between valve adjustments, etc.
Lovely !!!!
I watch this Video over and over again. Super cool Dude and awsome Porsche - keep it up Lorenzo!
