As I watched this video, there came a moment I had to pause all I was doing, to listen to the reviews Casey made of how he saw the team of military personnel after he returned from the flight. Men, and women from all backgrounds. As a Navy Retired Veteran myself (more proud to have served, for all of us), born in the Dominican Republic. I must say, yes this is the country of all nations as it was formed. Thanks for recognizing and admiring the professionalism of the military men and women. I salute you proudly (I think that as I was typing this I heard the US National Anthem humming in my brain). Awesome videos Ed.

This dude has some crazy car stories that goes very well with his quirky delivery. Thanks, VinWiki.

The man can tell a story!

Casey has a life that most car guys want. I would love to spend a few days just screwing around with this dude.

Man, Casey was probably the best "boss" I've ever had. I was there in the beginning of genius garage and he taught me a lot about myself, professionalism, and what I don't want to be. I'm glad that he has done what he's done with the program, although it pains me that I see my plans being carried out by someone else. Much love to Casey and the crew, "till another day".

If the tuned up Viper is your practical car you’re doing it right

The story with the Thunderbirds is the best thing ever!

Casey is just an awesome person His stories are just amazing

I can't imagine anyone wants to listen to this guy for an hour and 58 minutes..

Keep up the excellent work Casey and VINwiki!!

Casey has by far the best stories, the only real competition is Rabbit.

Ed just has that gift of finding guys with the best stories to tell. 2 hours of the great Casey Putsch stories is awesome.

Casey I have the upmost respect for you. You have done more in a short amount of time, than most people will do in 2 life times. God has blessed you way beyond most. Keep working to make cars fun and exciting. Be blessed brother...

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITE VIDEOS!!!!

Ed totally needs to make a t-shirt that says shrewd life in the thug life font

Loved these stories being a columbus native. It's just cool to know exactly where these things happened. Glad I listened.

Casey is so quirky and hysterical, we love you man.

I wish it was the top 1000 stories from Casey. I can listen to him forever. Sometimes at night I just loop his voice. Talking and talking and talking. GO YANKEES!

Casey! Love this guy. His voice makes me keep going in the engineering field 😅

I watched this entire thing without stopping, amazing.

I love these Saturday compilation videos. Since I’ve already seen them, I don’t have to worry about missing the pictures and video clips. Just put my headphones in, Listen and work away.

This is Great. Thanks, Casey!

I bought my first Porsche for cash in 2006 fresh out of the Marines. It was pearl white 1985.5 944 with a black interior and a stick shift. That car was so much damned fun and a real head-turner. Still probably my favorite car, even after having my 1982 928 project car. Great story. Oh, the 944 died in a flood.

20:40 "I don't really like clowns". Hilarious!

2 hours of quality entertainment

Just watched this entire video and loved every second of it.

Each one of those missing hairs is an amazing story. Well worth it.

These “Top 10 car stories” are some of my favorite Vinwiki videos. You get the best of everything in them.

When he puts on a baseball cap. Bam! 20 years younger. Voice got deeper and charismatic too.

I never thought about what kind of engine the bat mobile had. The design of the bat mobiles front makes a lot of sense.

I wonder if he tells the story of challenging rob pitts to a race and then backing out?

" Die clowns,Die !! i loled for a half an hour,what an epic story. ps,i loved the 944 bit,one of my favs.

I cant even imagine being this cool

Awesome to hear him mention the Italian gathering! That’s a car show my company puts on every year that focuses on Italian exotics! I haven’t ran into Casey there but I hope he’ll come down next year!

Dude I grew up in Tiffin, class of 2002! Love these stories and the T-town memories!

“And downtown Columbus became Gotham city.” Well that was the best thing I’ve heard ever. My family is all from Columbus and we’re all nerds. That would’ve been epic.

Thank you !

“You’re a Juggalo tripping on acid before an ICP show aaaaand the Batmobile shows up!”

My Grandma was in the garage when I made the first start on the first motor I rebuilt by myself. ( 455 Olds ) It fired right up and I remember her clapping. The part about your grandmother really struck me buddy. I miss her!

Very cool story about you and the THUNDERBIRDS!!

Great stories!😀

Casey, I enjoy all the stories from VinWiki but your story about the demise of your GT-40 transaxle, while sad brought back memories and a little smile. I really loved your experience and the story that came about because of your ownership of the GT-40, replica or not. Sadness because I think that the original GT-40 along with the Porche 917 are by definition two of the most fantastic modern sports machines ever. One would have to go to the blower Bentleys or the Dusenburg SJ to top them with any certainty. However, the wry smile comes from a memory. It was while I was stationed in Germany as a wrecker operator and was on my way to Hanau from Frankfurt am Main with a vehicle for 3rd shop in tow. On my way there I began to hear a whine that although loud would become less so when I used the clutch. Ergo I thought "clutch throw out bearing". I called in from my drop point and was advised by dispatch just to take my time and ease it back home. Deciding not to press my luck I stayed off the autobahn and was using secondary roads back to the shop. I was at a stop light which in due time indicated for me to proceed, which I did. I was about half way through the intersection when I heard this tremendous , loud bang and immediately lost all power. Coasting to the side of the road just past the intersection, I got out, walked around the rather large trail of oil which lead straight back from underneath my wrecker to the culprit laying nearly in the center of the intersection which even now people with their cars were dodging and retrieved what remained of the crank, connecting rod and piston out of number four hole of the Continental engine. The thing was larger than my forearm. So much for the throughout bearing synopsis. They sent another tractor for me and by the time I returned to my own motor pool the had found another engine for my wrecker. Since I was considered an "Emergency Vehicle " it was decided to send a heavy lift helicopter to Stuttgart, sling load the engine in it's container and fly it back Rodelheim where my motor pool was located. About 125 miles each way. Meanwhile the old engine was removed and the engine compartment made ready to receive the new engine. The new engine in its crate arrived in due time was moved into the shop via forklift, a million or so bolts were removed from the air tight container and the overhead Crane was rigged to separate the upper and lower half of the shipping container. Which it did, revealing nothing but stale air. No new engine, not even spider webs. Inspections the following at Stuttgart revealed that out of 56 engines on inventory there were but two. The rest were empty. One of them was dutifully loaded on a trailer and driven to our shop. Two days later I was back in service. No one ever did find out what happened to the other engines that I know of. Just goes to show that regardless of how well you think you know your car and maintain said same, it can almost always have a troubling surprise for you. Just part of the history and situations that are all part of the ownership experience.

95% chance when he drives by you hear "it's raining men" blasting.

I also love the 944 more than other models.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy growing up in that era when you could buy Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s for dirt cheap compared to what they sell for these days. I remember seeing a Countach at the dealership my dad bought his Corvette from and as much as I tried to get him to buy it ,he wasn’t having any of it and bought the Corvette he came their to buy. It wasn’t till I got older,that I found out that my dad had been into Corvettes and always wanted to own one,but when you’re married with 4 of us kids to take care of ,things like buying a Corvette,tend to get pushed to the side,in favor of more important things. Honestly,after I found out just how much my dad always wanted a Corvette, I respect him even more for all the overtime he put in at work to make sure we had everything we needed,while getting to save up some money for the car he always wanted and buying what he liked instead of a car that could potentially make him a profit down the road,that he pretty much knew absolutely nothing about,except for parts and having the car serviced were really expensive,compared to the cost and maintenance of a Corvette.

Haven't been max climb in a viper but in an eagle one time and that was absurd. I swear you teleport from the deck to 18,000ft. I have been blessed in my line of work to experience more than my fair share of ride along but that eagle climb made a hard charging ride in a t45 feel like a nap on the couch.

He talked about a sprint car!!! Awsome hahaha

Every time i dropped the clutch on the Pantera, lol.

Can I come on with some hooptie stories? Got plenty of em...

the icp story killed me that is one of the funniest stories i've ever heard

daily drove a delorean for 2 & 1/2 years now that’s freaking cool 🤟🏻

I'm ready 🇭🇲

I still love the 928s.

944 is my favorite Porsche also.

Battmobile & juggalos. You can't make this stuff up. Great stories 👍

Just watching the This story on your blog about a Casey having his 1st 944 Porsche which is a funny Coincidence because that was my 1st car and my dad got it for me On my 12th birthday and it was basically was just a shell and he told me now you can get a job you can go out and buy the parts and put the car together yourself and do it with me and you can learn the value of actually owning a Porsche And knowing you've earned the right to own one!.. And basically from that day on I was hooked on Porsche 944..... What of the best track cars with the perfect 5050 weight distribution and easy upgrades just as long as you don't drive it like a maniac And blow your gearbox

I'm guessing you were driving on home road, just outside Columbus. I have seen a bat mobile in Columbus when I was younger, good chance it was you!

Sure, everybody likes the 911 - and those that don't like the 944, however, I'll always have a sweet spot for the 928. Was it Scarface? Risky Business? Weird Science? Maybe one of those, maybe all of them - but somewhere along the way I just fell in love with that car. Timeless styling, still looks contemporary, even today.

Having bump started a Diablo sv at pebble Beach I can imagine this exactly

Yo he looks like the OG McLovin in he’s teen years no diss super cool lol

How about the story when he turned down to race against Rabbit's stock car.

22:20 is the face of "40 dollars for a gram"

You would get too badly hurt from the shot gun shell because it doesn’t have pressure to send the bullet if you take a 50 bmg sniper bullet and strap it down and fire it the bullet stays in the same spot

So many great stories!

I love my 77 924

This guy's hairline is crazy. As a fellow guy with hair loss good on him to rock it

My dad and Uncles are from Germany, fixed Porsches for about 25 years. Hated 944s never had a nice word regarding them. Always seems to contradict the owners of them. But that's a mechanics opinion...clutch jobs on 944s are terrible!

Oh hey mister could I help you cross the road? Oh holy SHIT!!!! What happened to your hair? Lol jkjk just busting your chops lol. Im sure you have seen that funny ass commercial on TV? LOL.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan got that same hairdo from Mexican Supplements 😉.... Is Casey Juicin.....? 🤔

These drunk guys outside the club are trying to write the script for Ford versus Ferrari right in front of you and you’re telling them to shut up…

Bro i remember this guy when he lived in tiffin 🤣 i was very young

These big compilation videos are cool and all but you should do more of a 12 min video of "funny moments with" "____moments while"

That's how i blew my engine and transmission in my 74, leaving a gas station normally

Critters had a 944

To me the 944 is 'Risky Business'...

Casey is the Guy Might of the automotive world (naruto reference)

Seeing Cassy without a hat is always wierd to me

VINWIKID

isnt 10k ft above vfr rules?

Those juggalos weren't on acid. They were on nyquil / faygo ya dingus

Wish my 944 wasn't stolen from me.

This dude is genuinely one of the most interesting people alive today. He is the a genius and his legacy will affect the car world, be his name remembered or not.

Wassup

1:28:43 I don’t know why but it looks like his face was photoshopped onto someone else’s body.

Ask rob Pitt’s

down to earth + superdude.

A movie should be made about his life, or atleast a game.

I can't with this guy. This is not how people even talk....

Tell us about that time you challenged rabbit and then chickened out

Dude that is the ugliest Porches they ever made. Thats just the God awful truth.

944.......POS !!!!!!

Has Casey apologized to Rabbit yet ??

Getting famous of comments day 21🤙🤙🤙

Dont like how he talked about rabbit and his stock car No reason for that

Casey why you back down from the ole rabbit you had everything to gain an nothing to loose.would have been great for the teck school. Your cars must be so fast pushed ya hairline back 5 inches .lmao

Ok Boomer.

There are good stories, and then there are good stories well told. Casey nails it.
