These are invaluable thank you

[@VS666]

Love Betim, his insane Porsche engineering and fixing stories are always so intriguing

[@2fast2nick]

Betim is awesome, love when he comes on.

Correction for Matt. The Higgins lap record was not the first 4 wheeled record set. He beat Rally driver Tony Ponds record set in a stock Rover 827 Vitesse Fastback in 1990, a time of 22:09s at an average of 102mph. The first ever recorded to lap at over 100mph. The record stood for 21years until Higgins.

Great talk, service visits are a golden opportunity to talk to some interesting people for sure!

[@austinblank197]

Betim & Matt is the jam

Different car but the electronic dipstick sensors are frustrating. The electronic sensor is nice for a warning but I feel like there should still be a physical dipstick as a fallback to double check the electronics.

[@WestsideCollectorCarStowage]

I'm always cool with Betim.

I'm not the 28-3 Never Forget person, but I'm 99% sure that's about the New England Patriots coming back from being down 28-3 at the half and winning the Superbowl against the Atlanta Falcons in 2017.

[@kylem324]

Yeah, looks like it’s harmless.

[@mosscamnola]

It was almost certainly someone from New Orleans, forever taunting the ATL Falcons for their epic collapse. 🤷‍♂️

[@n3v3rgunn45]

@@mosscamnola or New England, like me haha. I'll never forget watching that game! I don't hate Atlanta, but that was one of the greatest sports events of my life

[@fraserwright9482]

With the tire ratio on VW/911 is due to weight, same as the brakes, that's why they are the same size. If you have to large tire with no downforce, the envelope of grip, so when you can feel it slide is smaller. When the car is on its toes is broader and being able to dip into this is the key to speed as it's predictable and you can catch it. Plus wide tires slow you down, you should only increase it if you have no grip off the line. This will be multiplied in the wet as it will aquaplane rather than grip.

[@PCarDriver87]

I think the electric dipsticks were also meant to keep people from trying to work on their own cars.

I got to play around with the early 3D printers in a high school intro to engineering class. Then during college I spent a summer at the Oak Ridge National Lab where I was introduced to large scale additive manufacturing R&D. They 3D printed a carbon fiber AC Cobra and converted to EV. Also a whole mobile home. Pretty sweet stuff to see. Local Motors also has a manufacturing center about a mile away so you can bet they are using some of the lab’s equipment for development.

[@WillowDailyShorts]

Another banger! Thanks for the content ❤

[@MrAlonsorenault]

My interpretation of the 28 3 never forget is Davey Allison & Dale Earnhardt

[@jm71681]

Reno love baby, Hot august nights this year I saw a single Ferrari 250gtb I believe, at the sands a couple years ago they had a Chiron, F40,p1,Countach, Ferrari Challenge cars, 60s jag racers it was an awesome change from the lawn chair 50s bel air crowd

[@conspicuoustraverser7375]

Im here

[@nathanpace7371]

55 mins in it became clear… Betim needs to poop #bodylanguage hurry it up Matt 🤣

[@Petrol_fix]

28-3 never forget is a reference to the Super Bowl where the patriots were down to the Atlanta falcons going in to the 4th quarter 3-28. The patriots won lol

[@ukanchumee3446]

Ugh, more rich people talking about Porsches.

[@phattiger1506]

Talking about driving porches doesn't excite me, talking about the technical side however I could listen to forever.
