Why People Love Porsche | WheelHouse 

I personally like a few specific Porsches, like the Panzerjäger VI Tiger (p) Elefant and the Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus

2:55 "lack of maintenance and understanding the machine" Sounds like a rotary owner.

Heritage, looks, handling, reliability, speed

YES - more shop interviews PLEASE! Why... b/c many shop owners are the MOST committed and knowledgeable automotive enthusiasts for their respective niche! Cheers! 🤙🤙

Cause it's Porsche They legit did everything wrong with their cars( rear engined, Sporty SUVs, making a dailyable sports car at a time that wasn't really possible) and yet made it SO right who the hell doesn't love Porsche?

Car guys in 2008: Meh, air-cooleds are just crude souped-up VWs with the engine in the wrong place and bad A/C. No thanks. Cary guys since 2014: Air-cooleds are legendary icons representing visceral purity and soul. BUY BUY BUY BUY

Porsche's lines are easy to remember and their history are full of great recipes. 1948 - Porsche 356. 1st shape that would become the 911 later on 1964 - Porsche 901. The prototype of the upcoming 911 1964 - Porsche 911. The spawn of all modern 911 1973 - Porsche 911 Carrera RS. Peak of the 911 craze and one of the best air cooled N/A collectible. 1974 - Porsche 930. The spawn of the Porsche Turbo. Aka the "Widowmaker" due to the pendullum effect. 1989 - Facelifted version of the 930. Nothing much has changed. 1994 - Porsche 993. Last air-cooled 911. Spawned the infamous GT2. 1997 - Porsche 996. 1st water-cooled Porsche. Spawned the now famous GT3. Aka "Egg-eyes" due to the headlight looking like an sunny side-up egg. Introduces PDK and CCB. 2005 - Porsche 997. Updated version of the 996. Gone with the egg shape headlights and back to round. Saw the birth of the GT3 and 2 RS and the new 4.0L flat-6 engine. 2012 - Porsche 991. New 911 that uses electronic assisted steering booster. Saw the birth of the legendary 911R 2015 - Porsche 911.2. An updated of the 991 line where turbos will be added to the base Carrera. Different from normal Turbo variant which are 4L, 991.2 Carrera will be 3L and GT3 & 3RS are all still 4L N/A flat-6. That's the most condensed history for all different generations of 911 I can give. I did miss out some important ones like the Targa and such but that would be massively complicated to add in so as much as I can condense into an "Porsche 911 For Dummies" guide, this will be it.

4 reasons: 1. A Beetle on steroids 2. Almost every race Porsche joins they'll always win 3. Sexy styling queue that never gets old 4. Fanbois are sometimes you know?

Squeezing the most out of something that shouldn't be doing that. Is one of the most eye watering sentences I've heard in a while. So much meaning behind it

I love porsche is because of its Targa top and That legendary Air cooled Flat-six engine!!

Porsche is like that one athlete in the NFL that’s so good that you get tired of praising. Because you know they’ll produce every season.

1.theyre easy to reckonize 2.theyre fun 3.they have timeless design

Classic Porsches still look mighty great years later. I’d love one, specifically a 911S but they’re probably going to be über-expensive by the time I finally get the time to enjoy driving

I am so sick and tired of hearing about people and their stupid "investment" when it comes to cars. I don't care that I've put $5,000 into a $1,600 car, I love it and I want it to run forever and stay in my hands forever! I ain't selling this thing! What's the "investment"?!?!

This was probably my favorite wheelhouse episode yet, definitely more episodes like this! Keep up the great work I love the channel!

Love this format of episodes, can't wait to see more shops like this !

Porsche to me is a marque that once you get bitten you really fall in love with their cars, until that happens you might not "get" what is so special. They have such a rich history and also prove their worth on the race track, its a rare combination. While they branched out to other vehicle concepts to stay economically viable they are always about their sports cars/racing in the end.

My first love was Ferrari. However, when looking at history to the present day, Porsche, overall, has become my first love. Their racing heritage, the constant onslaught rivalry they've had with McLaren, Mercedes Benz, Ferrari, and so forth is nothing short of legendary. The driving oriented cars they've released with their GT-2 and GT-3 cars is nothing short of spectacular. Ferrari and Lamborghinis are the cars you like for their looks. Once you've matured, Porsche becomes the sophisticated tasted that you learn to appreciate.

Keep these videos coming. I actually enjoy talking to these super knowledgeable enthusiasts almost as much as I enjoy driving.

I dig your episodes so much, they are right up my alley and now I am getting more and more into cars, so thanks for yet another video!

There is no particular virtue in an air-cooled engine. What is being sold here is romance, which is perfectly fine if you're buying. "Enthusiasts" arbitrarily select the parts of automotive technological advancement they wish to subscribe to, then invent stories to rationalize their preferences. I've never seen a comment on RU-vid or car site forums/comments calling for bringing back the manual starter crank because it's a "more authentic motoring experience." LOL. Fuel injection is 100,000% better than a carburetor. If I buy an older car, I'll mostly embrace the technology it was fitted with at the time of its manufacture. If I'm buying a new car, i want it water-cooled, hermetically sealed, automatic transmission, power-everything. I love cars, and I can appreciate every point in the range. Enjoy what you drive-drive what you enjoy-and don't let anyone make you feel "unwashed" because you don't venerate the same things.

One of the first "cool cars" I can ever remember my dad telling me about was a porsche 911 in british racing green that shot apst us when we were driving home one afternoon. I was like 4 years old and 21 years later I'm still in love

Recently purchased a porsche 944 and live it! Would like to get an air cooled 911 some day! Very true about no such thing as a cheap porsche. Purchased my 944 and had the transmission go out 20 mins after buying it... 7k later she is pretty solid now. Its the price you pay though to drive around in a vintage Porsche and I love it.

Loved the episode. As you said, just letting you know that you'll should do more such visits & videos!

Up to speed on holden plz

The 911 is the best sports car ever.

Awesome video, The shop atmosphere, short history lesson, personal conversation and questions, where excellent. Wheelhouse is where it's at.

Killing it guys! The production quality on this channel does not go unnoticed.

I would like a VW Beetle with an air-cooled Porsche engine.

I just recently bought a 1985 Porsche 944 and I love the car so much, it’s taught me so much about older cars and about Porsche’s with how amazingly detailed these cars are and how much attention to detail Porsche puts into their vehicles

one of the best videos you guys have made. keeping up the amazing work guys!

I absolutely loved this video. Pls do more shop interviews!

Nolan can you go 2 Dinan for some BMW love

I hate Porsche's, or I did, I thought they were just quickish sports cars that were just a brand and nothing else. Until last 2 years, when I found the yoshida special and it changed my whole perspective on porsche and now I really appreciate them, saw a fully original 930 yesterday and I thought wow never going to see that again. Great video btw.

Loved the format! Keep going fellas.

Thank you for making videos like these...I really appreciate you taking about the connection to your car and the romanticism of Porsche and why I love the brand

up to speed - Holden please!!!!!

Porsche was for a while the people's affordable super car. But not anymore, gone are the days where you could get a G model or even a 964 for around 15 grand. Porsche nowadays is slowly going from the people's car to the elite's car, like Ferrari or Lamborghini. A 200.000 mile 964 Carrera 2 is now 50 grand, that's out of reach for most enthusiasts.

Please have more episodes like this. Doing so is not only fun and educational, I think it's a great opportunity to debunk so many myths and misconceptions about certain cars. For example there are shops that specialize in Corvairs. Maybe consider an episode on the controversys, and myths surrounding the Corvair from the viewpoint of a passionate Corvair shop owner.

Interviews like this are awesome keep doing it more often.

Every1 loves Porsche for its wining race heritage every1 loves winners

5:10 It's Luftgekühlt* ;)

Absolutely love this show and everything donut media makes 😍

I worked at a shop that did tuning on these back in the day... Simple, light, fast and subtle design changes from model year to model year made for a fast, simple and mechanically optimized ride. They were a blast to drive and the driver did ALL the driving. I was too young to afford one then and not successful enough to afford one now. A shame for me but congrats to those that still have one. Keep ‘em on the road!

its called "luftgekühlt" or "luftgekuehlt" not "luftgekuhlt" :) great video

In this life, or the next one.. when i get rich, i will buy one for sure :)

This was definitely a good segment, Keep it up!

love it baby. love watching the growth! All the content you guys have been putting out is responsible for getting me back into cars again. You guys and the mighty car mods. matter fact you should do a collab with them. #cheers

I really like you guys, but... "Are they reliable?" SERIOUSLY?! Also, that poor Porsche enthusiast who has to deal with all those hipsters who have never driven a real car. I feel sorry for him.

Did that guy essentially say that hipsters are a good thing?

Being the owner of a Porsche 944 turbo that was my Grandfather's, my Dad's, and now mine, this video speaks volumes. The things he says hit very close to home. Well spoken!

Great episode guys! More shop talk segments would be awesome!

Luftgekühlt!

#Porschelovesters

Love the shop visits guys. Let's get more of these happening

YES YES YES!!! This is an awesome video just like everything else you guys do.... Keep them coming and I'll keep supporting.

I have a Porsche too... Its a 1972 T2 campervan, Boxer engine : check German : check Round headlights : check

Why we love them cuz they are easy to drive , race , maintain , sell and most of all , collect :)

This video was really nice I would love to see more of these style of videos.

For me in late 2016, I was learning about wide bodies and throw a forum I learnt about nakai

We love it for the sound, playful rear end, the rawness of a car designed in older pure car design philosophies, such as very connected steering feel, playful chassis, oil smells, hearing every mechanical part, feeling one with the car and being connected with it. We love the charisma of the car, the fashionable looks, also the nostalgia. The older air cooled cars also reminds us of how car design philosophies and laws / norms have changed (to me for the worse, and I'd imagine for many driving enthusiasts as well). Cars are soft, big, easy, heavy, and becoming less and less playful. The air-cooled 911s screams an era of the past and defies all such boring philosophies and reminds us what driving should be all about. PS It is NOT for picking up chicks. As matter of fact, the interior carpets smell like shit and reminds you of your old grandma's piss bucket crib with big old red carpet smells (oh...Just my grandma?)

Kind of like the old carrera GT

Great video man, hope to see one on Dinan soon. Keep up the great work!!!

more interviews! really enjoyed this one

Me with crown vics

I don't think Jeremy likes beetles...

Very informative commercial guys. Like most of your episodes now. Got to do what ya gotta do. I remain subscribed.

Nice job! I liked this interview..

Let's see what "people" have to say about the Porsche Mission E Taycan Cross Tourismo!

They forgot about the 944’s 968’s and 928’s?

My father had several Porsches when I was growing up.....a 911, a 912, a Targa. Absolutely loved those cars. What I loved the most about them was the chrome trim, just added that extra little touch of class to that wonderfully understated classic body. Sounded like VW's for obvious reasons, always loved the feeling of solid traction in the rear....but then that edge of flying off dangerously into space in a tight turn. If I was into acquiring classic cars, I'd definitely start with a 70's 911 Targa.

I fell in love with the whale tale wing as a young teen. There was one down the street from the skatepark i rode and i would stare at it every time i went by. Just such a simple, pure automobile. It comes back to the day where people built vehicles to be driven, maintained, and loved.

"Porsches are reliable" * Spends 10 minutes explaining the need for constant maintenance and expense*

Porsche knowledge lacking? Could we have a tour of the cave you've been living in?

From the first day I saw the 911's shape I was in love, it's a dream to own one some day. Just a great example of beautiful German engineering.

I love it how John's passion with Porsches just overflows every time he speaks.

Visit Singer next.

porch porsche

Wheelhouse has grown so much and it’s one of my favorite series form donut

First car I ever drove was my dads air cooled 946. I have been obsessed ever since.

Wow 1 Dislike, That person havent even finished the whole vid

Up To Speed - Chevrolet Opala!!

Not sure I enjoy the big words flashing across the screen every few seconds.

This was a great video. More like this, please!

Quality content, keep going at it!

I had to reread the title, thought it said White People Love Porsche

Go to Alfaholics and get your mind blown :)

Great episode. I will definitely watch more like this if you make them.

Always good stuff from Donut

Flat nose

2:00 Daimler is not pronounced Damler. It's pronounced like Dime-ler, like a dime if you need more reference. Not pronounced DAM-ler, not DAME-ler, DIME-ler. But this channel also pronounces kei cars as key cars, so it's like talking to a brick wall.

Good questions. Very insightful guys. Top 10 episode for me.

Love it! More shops! Love the local feel!
