“Where horsepower meets conversation”
By Tim, Paul, Dave and Casey · November 5, 2025
🎧 Porsches, Patents, and Poor Life Choices (a.k.a. our favorite kind)
|
This week the crew asks the big questions—like why a Tesla wandered onto a motorcycle race track (seriously), whether Porsche’s new “Tunnel Mode” patent will make your next tunnel blast even more glorious, and if “investment” cars under $100K are a thing or just an excuse to buy more toys.
Tim’s been romancing his TR2, Paul’s rediscovering the joy of a proper manual, Casey’s still pondering MFI vs. slant cab life, and David’s taking his 3RS to church (literally—“Sunday Service”).
Then it’s market report time: Porsche values are doing weird things again. 996 GT3s are climbing, 987 Boxsters are suddenly cool, and that ‘73 911S? Flat as a Kansas highway. Are we looking at a bellwether for consumer confidence—or just a midlife crisis in chart form?
Listener questions go deep:
👉 What’s the best sub-$50K enthusiast car worth owning?
👉 Stock or tastefully modded—what sells better?
👉 Have Ferrari’s “Speciale” cars lost their, well, specialness?
👉 Is a track-only car ever worth it?
And finally, “This or That”: Enthusiast cars that might actually appreciate in 2026—without selling a kidney.
Lotus Elise vs. Alfa 4C? 997.1 vs. 991.1? 928 vs. S2000? The team debates, laughs, and probably offends someone.
