Ed Bolian Gave Me His Porsche 911 - Living With a Porsche 993

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Ed Bolian is one genuine guy to let me do this. What do you guys think of the 993?

[@OregonChronic]

ThatDudeinBlue I think she’s puuuuuurdy

[@juansierra387]

Very elegant similar to a NA Miata.

[@timephire]

But you don't have Will Smith yelling in your ear "Now that's how you're supposed to drive!"...

[@chutemi5991]

I want one so bad

[@Andy_Pennington]

Beautiful car and honestly on my top 5 of dream cars. All i would ass would be a GT2 Spoiler 😍

[@EdBolian]

So glad you enjoyed the car. It has been a lot of fun to play with for the last few months.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

You're a good dude Ed. Thanks for always sharing the experience with everyone else. That's what it's all about!

[@FreelyRoam]

Ed resets the record in a Blue Mustang....wait...

[@mr.trump.9384]

Thanks for sharing the car Ed! She’s a beauty

[@lorddrew67]

Ed you gotta do some more casual road stuff like what you did with Adam and TDIB really like seeing you out of the set maybe on your personal channel

[@pfpvita]

“Play”

[@VINwiki]

That 993 certainly has a crazy history. Glad to have been at the right place at the right time to scoop it up.

[@ghostwalker435]

I love how you commented as both Ed and as VinWiki

[@kingstyle7314]

kirk overton turns out it’s someone else!

[@lucasclift3196]

That's basically an Ed Bolian special, cars with crazy stories and great prices. Ed, If you need a car lot slogan, there you go my friend!

[@kingstyle7314]

Ed bolian also known as one of the most interesting and best people in the world

[@mikejuzenas93]

As a long time owner of air cooled 911's, including 15+ years with 993's, a few comments. - This car has static cams, no "valve timing" (you prob meant variable timing), and given its a 95, no variable induction either. - I don't understand the comments about the pedals, maybe I have been driving them so long but it's a very natural feeling. If the clutch engagement is high, it means the clutch is getting worn - The visibility is extremely good due to the slender pillars and a windshield that is so close its like wearing glasses. Its better than most of the cars out there - These cars rarely leak from the "top", typical leak points are the valve covers and chain covers, which are not a big deal to correct. Sometimes the leaks are a bit deeper, like the through bolts on the case which is much harder to fix, but its usually just seepage. - As for the gearing, this car must have the North American gearing because of your comment about a long 2nd gear. One of the best changes to the feel of the car is to change the gear sets to Euro or even better - but that is major $$$ so not done lightly. - These cars are very very robust, not sure why you think it would not make it across desert - they are actually both "oil cooled" since they use 12 litres of oil to move heat out from the engine to a radiator and air cooled. Plenty of cooling for any sort of conditions. - And the last point, try to take out a 993 Turbo. I have one, and its the best combination of old school air cooled and power, imagine the ride you took and add 130+ HP and shorter gearing ....

[@Fee.1]

He meant variable valve timing. What’s the best price you can get a 993 for without having to put more into it than you saved

[@danielzychniewicz2633]

congrats on owning a 993 turbo you lucky bastard. must be nice to be rich.

[@FreelyRoam]

Then outta no where ED BOLIAN RESETS THE RECORD ACROSS USA IN A BLUE MUSTANG;) ahaha

[@quincygaming9529]

I think I would actually explode if someone said "Hey, here's my 993 for the week".

[@josephmaldonadojr4692]

I went for a ride in a 79 930 turbo guards red 420whp (capable of 600hp) decently modded ( no power steering/ brakes. IT WAS GLORIOUS all i can say is it is faster than you think especially with the squat the porshes do it is also straight piped. It feels like hyper space. No matter how many times he hit the gas and i thought i was ready YOU are not ready. best thing ever in my naborhood there is a red 993, the 930, ss chevelle, stock 240 driven by 50ish yr old woman. I still can't belive it its pretty awsome (Thought some people would find this interesting)

[@kylemartin354]

In my opinion, the 993 is one of the greatest Porsche's ever created. Timeless car.

[@jessicataylor4071]

Im a huge Porsche fan the 993 is by far my favorite 911

[@devinmix7508]

I think what impresses me most about this car is just how driver oriented it is. If you take a look at the dash, there's an array, albeit a small one, of utilities within the driver's reach, but the passenger's side and center console has little to nothing at all. Combine that with the door straps and gauge cluster orientation and you have a car that doesn't want you to be relaxed by it. It wants you to focus on driving it and experiencing that "Porsche horsepower" you talked about, David. The 993 is a driver's car all day long. It's meant to be engaging, and I think that's why the enthusiast community loves it so much.

[@dylanandino4759]

I like that porches have retained a similar look overall, makes them age very nicely

[@abdullahs8431]

The 993 and the R34 skyline are the best looking cars ever made!

[@i6ixxr]

Ed one of the coolest folks out of ATL involved in the car scene and thats a fact

[@armageddon890]

it is a freaking masterpiece. timeless design

[@detonator2112]

993 is like a lightweight supermodel and fitness chick combined. It's so beautiful. You can't really criticize her for not cooking perfect food. Best looking Porsche ever made. That's why the prices are so high. Everyone wants the best looking model. Cheers, great video.

[@713vinh]

This is the most honest review of the 993. People buy this car for the prestige and the fun driving experience.

[@Tunerguy21]

I want to say that the 993 is my favorite gen of 911. It fits right in that sweet spot where its just modern enough but not too modern that you lose that original 911 feel (mainly being the last of the aircooleds).

[@Deez13to10]

I wonder if Ed is going to drive Smurf...I’d love to see that video.

[@dodotennekes4034]

Damn... Full respect for the 993 and Ed Bolian too. Simply awesome that he led you drive this great looking car. Great stuff and your review says it all! Coolz Coolz

[@aanas_evo1713]

Love the cinematic shots, they have improved alot! Amazing job David

[@basithph8958]

The Porsche 993 is a modern classic especially for being the last air-cooled Porsche

[@joelmorningstar3645]

sounds like a JWW viewer to me :v

[@clinehearty4917]

1 million subs congrats my guy

[@oibal60]

I've a 1996 993 C2 iris blue metallic. Multi full-concours winner. I just completed the 60,000 mile service and it runs like a Swiss watch. 6 speed manny tranny (G50). I also changed the 0.45 Ohm ballast resistors for the oil cooler and HVAC. (What a pain.) I also changed both lower camshaft cover gaskets coz they were 'sweating' onto the heat exchangers. I've had people pull up beside me, at the lights, offering ca$h in a suitcase! Mine has an LSD and I've found that Mobil 1 75W90 LS turns the gearbox into butter no matter the season (winter/summer).

[@MusicianKnowsBest]

One of my favorite generation 911’s. Really cool car.

[@Th3BoyDad]

This is truly a dream car!! Excellent video

[@poppasunny]

weird thing is that i have been following the minimalist design for my 1997 mustang gt. Smooth tight body lines, N/A motor build and a plain/ wacky interior. Everyone says their are a few things they would not have done but...... they all want my car? life works like that

[@SPProduction02]

Shots game = take one, every time David said " Ed Bolian"

[@Che1seabluesdrogba11]

Clarkson on 911s is one of the few things I have issues with

[@lucasclift3196]

About the only thing I would fight Clarkson over as well! Lol

[@MrYessireebob]

The 911 from Need For Speed: High Stakes is the reason for my Porsche love

[@mels_life1]

I'm not gonna lie the little drips of rain in the vid when you showed the beautiful shots of the car made me like the video a bit more I don't know why.

[@eskci0]

Jesus Christ this car is so gorgeous.

[@uGotSN1p3dB1cH]

My favorite body style. Simple and great. Love the head lights and the tails

[@Kev27RS]

993 ❤ I love that 911 gen.

[@mteske1]

Your vids recently have been so good bro.

[@kinnebrewmotors2229]

Instead of trying to explain 911s to everyone from now on... I'm just going to show them this video. It's so hard to explain until you drive it. I think Porsche gets the TOTAL driving experience better than any car company ever has. Anyway- it's so awesome to watch this car bring a smile to your face and I think, "Another convert." Rear-engine layout is magic.

[@kevrkid]

9:42 A Symphony 😍

[@basithph8958]

Ed Bolian is an amazing person

[@DonBMW]

Awesome review! I look forward to purchasing a 993 in the future. Current car is an E36 M3 and can relate to many of the points. Great performance, smooth gearbox, perfect distribution but my E36 is very forgiving. I can drive it like a hero without committing a felony.

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

I absolutely love this era of porshe!

[@ThatGuyWalter]

Wearing my "Smiles per gallon" shirt as I'm watching this. Thanks for all that you do!

[@pwrightisright8611]

We love Ed and VINwiki! Tell more stories there soon.

[@autechrefan1395]

Prettiest Porsche of all time

[@tristantuyn8703]

The thing what you said about the pedals is completely true. My car has the same, it's a beetle, so yeah ofcourse. The clutch is grabby at the end, but I prefer the pedal position over a normal linkage.

[@angelbermejo9616]

tristan tuyn same!

[@jordangreen3635]

Porsche severely underrates all of their horsepower and top speed figures. 350 Porsche horsepower = 420 hp real world.

[@RandallJT84]

Beautiful 993! Legit or not, the car is a true work of art. I'd love to own one some day.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Your voice got deeper during this video. I wonder why?

[@fredericoespinoza]

Driving porsches makes you a man

[@clasherface7227]

I absolutely love the look of the old Porsche's, and I don't really like any German cars tbh but they're just so beautiful.

[@HeidiandFranny]

Thanks David and Ed, great review! The 993 clutch is a little weird... It seems to engage really late. It does take a little getting used to but so totally worth it! The rear suspension is different than the G body cars and it really does tame the rear end a bit. If you are ever in Colorado come drive our 3.2 Carrera and the 993 back to back. Really different experience.

[@MrAlemonte101]

Great review, but why is there never any front facing cameras pointed through the windshield in your reviews? I think it would help a lot to help see what the car feels like to sit in it/ experience.

[@lowhood22]

"It's a steroid-filled volkswagen bug on VTEC". I'm dying. 🤣

[@bricegraham8256]

The beeping sound on that Porsche sounds like one of those mid 90s Oldsmobiles. I'm a sucker for the Oldsmobile and this Porsche is pretty rad.

[@davetires7300]

Vote --> Bolian & Pitts for the HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND🇺🇸🤓🇺🇸

[@TomiVuori]

What is the correct pronounciation, Porsh, Porsha or Porshe? I say Porshe because I'm finnish and there is an E in the end

[@_e5598]

"Porsha" based on how I think you think that sounds.

[@jonasholm8062]

Im norwegian and we say porschE but almost everyone i know say porsch

[@ClassyGentleman69]

I would say it should be pronounced how Germans would pronounce it.

[@luuk341]

Germans pronounche the E, Por-she, where the last "e" is pronounced as the "e" in the word "Bed"

[@tro2094]

From everyone who has corrected me, it’s Porsh - UHHH 😂

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

power to weight ratio is why it feels faster, the 993 weighs less then 3000 lbs

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Did you feel like a dentist? Or a partner in a law firm?

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Here at David,David,David, and David law firm WE CARE

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

😂😂😂

[@DkpDrifter]

Wangan midnight *cough*

[@TTime685]

That is one of my dream cars... 😍 Ever since the movie Bad Boys 😄

[@Rennthusiast]

Hilarious you talk about the smell so early in the video. 😂 That’s one of the things I love the most about my 993 coupe....the slightly oily, very distinctive smell inside the cabin. I also have a 3.2 Carrera and these air cooled cars are so iconic and special and different from any of the other cars I’ve owned.

[@patroell]

Hell yeah David, you're out here killing it. Are you still up for filming a documentary? I'd still love to do it!

[@stymiesnerdly771]

I want to buy that Porsche & return it home to Indiana. Ed came up here and scooped it up for a steal. Absolutely gorgeous example.

[@NicholasSunderland]

When you reeled it out the subtitles said "music" Accurate

[@OregonChronic]

Thanks. Great video.

[@jaydub5515]

Those pedals remind me of my dad's 1969 VW Type 2 Bus. The pedals are hinges!!! 😂😂😂

[@Ejecto_jeff]

Omg man hell yeah!

[@quincygaming9529]

I think this qualifies as an eargasm

[@lindahammer33]

I also think that possibly alot of car makers lie about hp numbers from factory for alot of different reasons.

[@gilly3920]

The sound of the Porsche straight six is absolutely intoxicating, never gets old

[@artmchugh5644]

Aexous the engine is a flat , opposed piston 6 cylinder !😄😄😄just sayin

[@danielzychniewicz2633]

flat 6 or boxer 6.

[@gilly3920]

Art Mchugh I prob shouldn’t have just guessed but for Porsches you could guess between flat and straight 6’s and be like at least 70% correct lol my bad tho

[@chadcooper6534]

Count how many times he says Ed's name that's better than shout out I believe I think it's working Ed

[@thatonekidd4625]

Love the videos!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

ThatOnekidd 16 thanks my dude!

[@thatonekidd4625]

ThatDudeinBlue OMG you responded it means a lot I love ur vids I get so jealous when you dive these cars since I can’t drive my self because I’m 14 I can’t wait to be 16

[@NarutoExplained]

I'm sooo jealous right now!

I like the 993 good review

[@db2alex746]

my dad gots a 76 993 and made it look like a 99 but the clutch peddle is exactly like you said!

[@Osprey1994]

You've evolved again, no longer is it short term impressions. It's "long term" impressions and it's awesome.

[@TheAndrewlolz]

Imo, 993s are the sexiest Porsche ever built in history, after the 964 and 930s.

[@aztekcolours5468]

I’m a jdm fan but this Porsche looks gorgeous

[@996turbo]

That’s the rebuilt title one from renlist that cost 34k ?

Correct

What a gorgeous car.

[@ourhaus9164]

Are you gonna review his new 430 Scuderia?

[@thewanderer_ii]

When you let off the throttle after your pull around 6:25 there's this faint whine coming from the engine, what is causing that sound? Gorgeous car, looks like you had a ton of fun with it lol
