The 7 Deadly Sins of Porsche Ownership, or what not to do as a Porsche owner.
1. Slamming the front hood.
2. Using the wrong Porsche vocabulary.
3. Wearing Porsche Stuff in public when you’re not at a race or cars and Coffee and you don’t work for the company.
4. Going to the Porsche dealership for an minor maintenance.
5. Letting other people drive your Porsche.
6. Leaving it out in the sun on a hot humid day.
7. Using an Automatic Car Wash.

[@photohounds]

"Real" Porsche owners brag about how MANY miles are on theirs. Tossers and ital owners brag about how FEW miles are on theirs. You are right - it is a car - a nice car. Porsches are meant to be ENJOYED - not kept pristine and never driven!

[@jc32750]

Mick D i have 175,000 miles on my 1999 976. Runs like a charm.

[@davidcordes9283]

114k on my 986, and I drive it as though I stole it!

[@992turbos8]

Humm Mick as an owner I’m proud I daily drive my 991.2 Turbo S .

[@nigelpowton9509]

I do about 200 miles per year lol

[@melaniefeltsfagan1227]

Yeah not letting anybody drive 😂

[@migueljbento]

Sin number one: filming videos with the camera against the light source.

[@misterlocapone6604]

Nah that’s gonna have to be sayin the word porsche 247 times

[@toledoboogz9817]

Miguel Bento but I'm a photographer so I agree.

[@MashFlight]

Miguel Bento lol

[@M1LIFECREATIVE]

lol

[@leisurexs2844]

Nah, using a cayman instead of a 911, not a real Porsche

[@wallstreetoneil]

As a 997 GT3 track rat, my rules are: 1) become friends with the Parts Guy at the dealer, buy in bulk, be a good customer and they will give you deals on all the parts, 2) find the local race shop, introduce yourself and bring your car there, 3) remove ever piece of lining and insulation from your front trunk - it nearly doubles the space, 4) I will let anyone drive my GT3 if I personally know they can write the cheque for it immediately if something happens 5) At the track if you can help a fellow gt3 owner in anyway if they are having an issue mechanically with any parts that you may have do it without hesitation - I have taken a caliper off and lent it as I was done for the day because I had another issue. By the time I arrived home, the individual had a new caliper waiting and paid for at the dealer for me. 6) At the track, if the day allows it, I will offer rides to anyone that asks 7) Always search out faster drivers or Pros and ask for rides to learn. Getting a ride from a Pro driver can take years off your learning curve.

[@MrOffshore]

Paul O'Neil agreed on almost all accounts...but you should always replace calipers in pairs. I think you would have been better to get your old one back...just my opinion. I like your attitude, it enhances the love of these cars to others!!

[@cvn6555]

One of the best comments I have ever read on a youtube video.

[@treyquattro]

Much better and more sensible list than the rubbish the video producer is spouting.

[@davidwbybee3450]

Very good list. I raced at the Las Vegas motor speedway with one off my 911s and did the same brake caliper gift because I brought an extra set front and rear. Once loaned a new full set of tires to another owner. We are still good friends to this day.

[@fookyoutube7274]

No one asked 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tenchinhanu]

That "Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe" pronunciation was spot on. Possibly the best I've heard from an American :D

[@XJarhead360]

I prefer the pronunciation, "fukingroovin"

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

This is brilliantly done. You are carving a nice niche out in the Porsche KZbin content market. Not too pretentious. Not too serious. Yet still informative and directly applicable to a large swath of "real" Porsche owners. Also, I bought one of those shirts in tri blend black. Really dig it.

[@Mechonomist]

Thank you!!!

[@jimr2346]

Putting down your cabriolet roof before leaving home. You've got to do it at a crowded intersection for maximum effect! :-)

[@thomasramirez2541]

I own a 996 Turbo for 2 years, 2004 Cayenne S for 10 years and a 1987 944 turbo for 22 years. I drive them all and take them all to the automatic car washer because I get a discount on gas! Thank you for your video. Sometimes people forget that a car is fun to drive. A scratch or dent hurts, but it doesn't effect it going around a corner! Have more fun in your car, more than out of your car.

[@danielimmeyer9229]

1. Not putting miles on it 2. Not redlining it 3. Keeping it out of the rain 4. Not doing all of the maintenance ahead of time 5. Doing paint corrections on a new car 6. Throwing a fit over ignition ranges 1 or 2 7. Not owning snow tires This is more like it

[@hwyfools]

Spot on and all 7 are part of the “negotiation” with the brand.

[@faust451]

This is the real list. Spot-on.

[@kurbaniak]

Snow tires? In California. Never. That’s a sin.

[@arricammarques1955]

Not having IMS bearing failure! :)

[@danielespinoza6569]

What’s wrong with paint corrections?

[@laserprojects]

One thing I'd like to point out and something I noticed on your car in the video. The crest in the wheel centers should point to the valve stems! Yes, one of "those guys" pointed mine out one day.

[@thomasbummer4361]

the way u said pdk was really 100% german, congrats lol

[@jcombes1]

Letting other people drive my Porsche. After watching this video, I had to pot my tablet down and think about this “sin”. If you are lucky to own one, I myself own two, I’m more than happy to let a person drive either one of them. Why? I’m lucky. Life continues to be good to me. If they wreck it, I’ll buy another one. I refuse to be pretentious because 1) I have the where with all to get another, 2) my way of sharing a personal achievement, and 3) my car doesn’t define who I am. The real “sin” here is vanity in the guises of resale value. Keep up the videos! I like that you call out the unwritten rules.

[@bwest4891]

Bravo on letting friends enjoy your car. Definitely more pple need to do this.

[@vTACPilotTulsa]

Bradley west I have a friend who let me drive his Boxster next day I started looking to buy one

[@timmccoig4469]

i lend my porsche out to my friends alot , its a hard on for them

[@jonbanks653]

"Clutch the pearls" I love it. I had a car damaged in a car wash once and I will never send my Pan Am thru one. Just the thought of it is a pearl clutcher LOL Nice video

[@64jmoore]

"Sorry 7-1-8 owners. Or is it 718? Oh Crap! I think I've just did another sin... Sorry!" LOL!!! OMG! I Love it!

[@mikenicol1593]

Never understood why people buy a sports car and hardly drive the thing. My 987.2 had an average of 2k miles a year on the clock. It's doing a damned sight more than that now! Not sure I understand the car wash thing though, I haven't cleaned mine since I got it a year ago.

[@FranciscoJMeza-pl7my]

8th deadly sin: Putting stickers on windows.

[@lotusjaggarage2989]

Well unless its the pca sticker

[@stijnvandamme76]

bullshit.. Porsches have had stickers in the quarter windows since forever.

[@niacal4nia]

Porsche guys never talk about how great Porsches are and haters can't afford a Porsche.

[@sheep-qj7bb]

If I recall, the 981 manual says no, high pressure/auto car washes because you have the risk of water being shot into the air intakes.

[@ThePolaroid669]

Usually, headliners sag because of the rotted foam backing (usually between 5-10 years old) between the fabric and the base moullded fibre board it's attached to. The glue used to hold it in place is high temperature resistant, and not water based, so it can't be heat and or moisture that caused your headlining to sag.

[@xtnuser5338]

As a Porsche fan boy and current owner of a GT3RS, I have the following thoughts: 1. I let my carbon fiber hood just drop down all the time. 2. I pronounce Porsche either way, and don't care. 3. I don't care what you call the engine, but if you actually want to know, it IS a flat engine, which is different than a V engine. 4. Seven one eight vs. seven eighteen...people know what you mean either way, so I don't see what difference it makes. 5. I'm a 911 owner who doesn't care you call your Cayman rear engined, although it is an incorrect statement. 6. Wear whatever you want. The only Porsche thing I own besides the car itself is a ballcap that was a gift. 7. I do maintenance at the dealership, but hey, I've got more money than time. 8. I have let some other people drive my GT3RS, even on the track...because they're my friends. 9. My car is garaged, but if you're out and about, it's going to get sun. I keep my windows lowered some. 10. I do wash my car with pressure only; no spinning bristles. Just because I know how much I would get charged for a repaint eventually. I've got no problem people clutching their pearls about their own cars, but they should let other owners deal with their cars however they wish. Why do people have to be assholes? Mind your own business, assholes.

[@timothyallen2862]

I enjoy your sense of humor on your videos. Excellent point about letting someone drive your car, and letting others see what a great driving machine it is-just make sure you know them, and trust them, and in your case, that they know how to drive a stick. A friend/Co-worker of my wife’s recently let me driver her 2013 911S Cabriolet, and it was a near-religious experience. Now I have a bad case of Porsche fever!

[@jamessuttie1261]

Good video. Thanks Three comments. No, slamming the front trunk (frunk) is bad. What you should do is gently close it, and then fully close it with you fingers AROUND the badge. Putting continued pressure on the badge over time will bend the aluminum hood. 2. Full marks for a good pronunciation of PDK. Really well done from someone from MI! 3. I totally agree with letting people that you know and trust drive your Porsche. My nephew is now an aspiring owner because of our times together in my cars. Great fun.

[@raymondsmith6696]

Used to take my boxster to a car wash. Had a blowout on left rear tire. Couldn't get car out because it came down on the rails. Flatbed came an hour later and winched it out. Total nightmare. Never again.

[@evathegrand]

Great video! And the Porsj/Porsche pronunciation problem is definately real hahaha

[@rodhunter1034]

When closing the bonnet I prefer not to push the badge but with a flat hand push on the front ridge between the badge it is stronger and doesn't flex as much

[@KrustyKlown]

correct, ya push over the latch (which is NOT under the badge) .... also, one MUST install a clear bra that covers that push area, because a purist NEVER touches the paint !! (another sin)

[@1TB0T]

My Porsche dealer very carefully and specifically showed me that the correct procedure was to push with a flat hand, on the badge. But meh. Who cares.

[@KrustyKlown]

Well ya can go with the knowledge of a car salesman, or that of an Automotive Engineer who owns and works on Porsches ... think, collect information, and make your best choice.

[@1TB0T]

It's all good mate. My "meh" was intended not to dismiss your comment, but to say "who cares which one you choose". Your logic of being over the latch is a sound one. Personally, I may use that IF I happen to have a microfibre cloth in my hand. For the rest of the time, I'll use the badge method to protect the paint from my greasy mitts. :) The paint on my 07 Cayman S is in exceptional condition and I dont want to be the one to spoil it.

[@met9009]

If you ever take the front emblem off after people have been pushing on it it dents the hood on the edges of the emblem, simple as that.

[@idrivearttabletennis]

You get a star for saying what PDK really is. I'm just staying with DPK. Great video! Keep it up! I love the story of Peter Porsche being asked to pronounce his name. His answer "Pe'TER."

[@panzer-head]

When checking oil level, don't overfill the engine.

[@essel23fly]

Lol! I’m addicted to those tic tacs too. There’s something about them and how each tic tax really does have a different flavor.

[@Count.Zer0]

It's called boxer engine. Boxster is the name of a car, which happens to be a boxer roadster

[@OurRideLife]

Count_Zer0 I wasn’t sure if I just heard him wrong since he did the boxer motion afterward. Perhaps it was all the Tic Tacs. Also, good call out about the history of the Boxster name being that it combined the Boxer for the engine and Roadster for the type of car.

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

I think he said boxer then said Boxster later. But I think he said boxer when referring to the engine.

[@videowatcher7648]

I think it’s actually a combination of boxer and speedster.

[@Count.Zer0]

Video Watcher most probably you're right, considering the Speedster legacy from 356's years. Yet I guess speedster is still a combo of speed + roadster...

[@videowatcher7648]

Good point, Count_Zer0.

[@NonymAn0]

3:34 wow nice you are now officially approved by me a German, to be able to pronounce pdk correctly

[@TribbleBot]

You say 718, I say 718.

[@PCayMan]

Hahaha totally read this as 7-18 and 7-1-8 😂

[@101ktm]

Lol I say 718 also, I hate when people say 718.

[@ArturGrigio]

You monster!

[@SneakyCobra581]

Wow,I really liked the vid,finally youtube knows what I want to watch.I'll be here until you hit 1 mil!

[@FBIAgent-bv5if]

Im starting to like porsche cars more than I thought I would.

[@timkrehbiel8065]

Good video. I totally disagree about the "sin" of letting other people drive our car. You SHOULD let others drive it (supervised, and people you trust of course). It gets other people into cars and promotes the brand. What's the point of owning something special if you can't share it with anyone? It's just a car, and Porsche makes a bunch of them. They were built to let people drive and enjoy them.

[@markbasterfield4027]

I have everyone in my family drive my 997 such a buzz gave me the best feeling in the world

[@ChefTai]

I am so glad you let people drive your car. I do the same because someone let me drive cool cars when I was younger. I still remember a Ferrari driver letting me sit on it.

[@ronvanr5359]

Fun video. I use a the dealership for my 997 from time to time. I'd rather pay more and have the job done right first time. I do let other people drive my car, for reasons you mentioned - But supervised. I don't concern myself with how people pronounce Porsche. One sin you forgot, as a Porsche owner, it's tradition to waive to other Porsche owners when you see each other on the road. This is especially true for 911 owners. Exception to the rule Porsche SUVs.

[@pgreeky]

I think with the layout and how easy it is to drive, the 986, 987, 981 etc would probably be the easiest car to learn manual on regardless if its a sin or not

[@solsland]

Have to be honest, if somebody tried to pick me up on any of these 'sins' I would tell them in no uncertain terms where to go...

[@sparkeyjames]

Does replacing the Porsche engine with a 2006 Corvette engine count as a sin?

[@djvendetta2325]

Uhhh kinda maybe no yes? How?

[@angelousgreco2190]

I would say yeah because Porsche's engine are already so great. But you do you, fam.

[@rmerka1]

Lots of 944 owners do it. Hear it's a fantastic upgrade.

[@OurRideLife]

I’ve got a “rear engined” Boxster (well rear mid-engined) and have committed some of these sins myself. The biggest one I’ve done is letting others drive the car. However, I only let people I know and trust do so. I figure if a car gets to be such an idol that I can never let anybody else drive it then I should probably not have the car (just my personal thought on it). About the automatic car wash, I don’t trust them myself. This is because when I had a Volkswagen about 5 years ago, I put it through an automatic car wash and it chipped the paint off the bumper. The paint showed no signs of wear or clear coat bubbling before this happened. I think that the car wash probably wasn’t well maintained, but since then I don’t chance it. However, if you have one that hasn’t caused any problem, then I would think you should be fine. Thanks for posting the video. I enjoyed it and know a few folks that have reacted as you said in the video.

[@mazeratixbox]

but is a Boxster even a Porsche? It's like say a Mercedes CLA/GLA is a Mercedes. They may have the 3 pointed star but definitely not a Benz

[@OurRideLife]

maseratichillen I understand where you are coming from. It is more Porsche than the 924 with its Audi sourced engine (after all the early Boxster shared 40 percent of its parts with the 911). I would say that the 911 is the top Porsche (outside of the supercars) then the Cayman and Boxster. Then there are the four door vehicles which are not Porsche sports cars (although they are good cars).

[@tonyrios5112]

Any vehicle that saves the company for which it bares it's name, is more so of that company than any other car that company produces from that point on. But even if that wasn't the case, the Boxster is a true Porsche. Drive one and you'll see.

[@richardhkirkando]

^something that Camry owners whos wives won't let them get a sports car say while trying to sound cool

[@freedomrider266]

No, you have a mid-engined Porsche that is how 911s SHOULD have been built all along...Be VERY proud of that engine.

[@pacovl46]

Sin number 8: you’re not driving a 911! ;-) I love the fact that you pronounce Porsche the right way, and in regards to all the idiots in the US who look down on you for doing so, just ask them how they would feel about someone literally saying Arkansas instead of Arkinsaw or Illi-noise instead of Illinois.

[@XJarhead360]

Or "nucular" a la G.W. Bush, former POTUS; or "aksed" for asked by certain people

[@jeffbiddle1956]

PacoVL46 yeah or mispronouncing Chevrolet with a hard T

[@nileyoung2589]

actually the way he says porsche is incorrect. all the “american idiots” say it correct:)

[@pacovl46]

great stuff wrong!

[@nicklaz6986]

Nice one! Totally refreshing to see someone else enjoying their Porsche how it was meant to. Great content.

[@espenjohansen1289]

very funny! I love it, I drive a Boxter 98 and the amount of comments I get from people are amazing . Oh you have the Porsche without the engine!! Girls car!! I just smile and enjoy the ride......

[@scundoorsup5342]

How much can I get for my 2022 Targa 4 with 65 miles on it !! Just bought it and Porsche says are now rare due to supply chain issues and fires on shipping tanker

[@recklesslyarrogant7242]

I don’t get why people dislike or leave negative comments on your videos. At the end of the day it’s your property. If you want to light the car on fire you can. People need to let live.

[@113alfafan]

Let all the old men Lord over there Porsches and not share them. I think it’s nonsense not to share that with people. That type of passion is usually passed down and I agree doing something nice for someone and sparking that passion and curiosity about the automotive world is definitely something worth doing

[@7spower998]

You just committed the deadliest Porsche's sin of all...for not knowing about Porsche's F-6. Porsche's F-6 has 6-pin crank-throw, 7 bearing crankshaft. A V6 has only 3-pin crank-throw, 4 bearing crankshaft. The other 6-cylinder engines that Porsche use are from the VAG engine family. The VW VR6 3.6L and Audi V6 which are found in Cayenne and Macan

[@gurkankiziltan9429]

2:47 it’s a boxer engine, not boxster. You just committed the 8th sin. LOL But I agree with your points :)

[@OIOnaut]

Yo, exactly the same lol. I am glad it is called that only some....times. How about parking front first? or not pointing all the the tips of the center hubcap emblems towards the valve nozzle. I just hate when the tire dealership does not orient them correctly and all my friends laugh at me. oh oh shutting the door from the edge of the window glass. The automatic car wash does not detect a large spoiler and rips it off since it is not coded to the program and most rails can not cope with wider rear tires than 265. Super job though and I liked you video a lot. Enjoy.

[@kevintesta2147]

How about getting rid of those amber side markers. Change to clear

[@ForgetfulFoot]

Another good video. I find you not as self absorbed as some of the other Porsche Cayman channels. Please don’t go down the road of being over the top/loud/douchey. Keep up the good work mate.

[@lesvosace602]

6:10 totally agree. whats the point of having a nice fun car to drive and not share it with your friends and family.

[@vwsaiphone]

the car lover guy lol 😂 that killed me !!! Lol 😝

[@cvn6555]

With an aluminum hood you risk denting it by closing then pushing. I was shown that you close those hoods by lowering it slowly then firmly shutting it down, taking the hands off before the end. Kind of slamming it but not slamming it.

[@deanlutgert8292]

The dealer told me to push on the porsche crest so as not to scratch the paint and leave finger prints

[@Chitown388]

Regardless if it's a Porsche or not, people can come after you when you let somebody drive your car and s/he hurts somebody. My insurance agent told me to simply think that all your possessions (house, money, etc) is in your car trunk and all that can be at risk when you let somebody drive your car.

[@maveriky43]

Awesome video my man. Owned my 996 “Porsche” for a few months now and this really hits home. Hilarious!!!

[@noahlemieux7995]

I have to disagree... Porsche people are different - they are not supercar owners, their Porsche owners. Significantly different. Porsche owners are people who want their car for the fun of having a such a cool car. It's not all about keeping it looking perfect and not having any miles on it, like that of a supercar. Its a car meant to be enjoyed by you and by others. If you want to let someone ride or drive your Porsche, let them at it. They should enjoy it too because that's what its there for. And if any of it is true, I'm going to do as I wish with my Porsche cause its mine; I paid for it and nobody​ else did. 👍🏼

[@noahlemieux7995]

Also, I think its totally fine to wear clothing with labels on it. If Porsche makes clothes for people to wear with the logos and such on them, then its more than okay. If Porsche says its okay, I'm​ listening to them. Not other people.

[@alexgutierrez5056]

The only sin here is being aware of other people opinions. I can't imagine the master Ferdinand Porsche giving a damn about people opinion. And if we want to set the Porsche spirit as a standard, who's gonna be better embassador than Mr Porsche himself?

[@peterfritzphoto]

Loved this. Very articulate. 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@defalco0738]

The porsche doppelkupplungs getriebe surprised me HAHAHA

[@johnfranklin4072]

I have a question. I talked to a retailer that told me That 2005 Models boxster don’t have the IMS and Bore scoring issues. It’s a black base model with 97k miles on it and he is asking $17500?

[@nate7046]

I have a Porsche boxter and didn’t realize I was basically a Porsche purist because I cringe when any of this happens the only sins I’ve committed were letting my self learn to drive stick in mine( it was my first car, and I bought it my self so spare me the Dad gave it to me stuff plz) and taking it through the auto car wash because I drove it on a sandy road and the salt scared me so I took it trough a auto was for the undercarriage wash but will never do so agin because it actually knocked my shifter cable loose so I lost the top row of gears 1,3,5 and it took a few months to fix the dealership couldn’t find the problem so I put a lift in at my house( just out side because I didn’t have high required in side) and found that the end of the cable had just popped free so I put it back and add a black zip tie to prevent from happening agin.

[@anwarmagic9688]

OPC? If so, that's terrible, lol

[@LordToxygene]

Are you kidding me? It fell apart that easily?

[@clinpsydoc]

It's very important to find an independent who for many years works on nothing else but Porsches. I found one and consider myself blessed. You'll find that it is a brotherhood/sisterhood. Porsche dealers will do the job correctly but they are very exy.

[@davidwbybee3450]

Your last comment is incorrect. Automatic car washes will damage the 911 rear rims. The tracking rail chews up the metal and paint if you have custom rims. Nothing to do really with regard to paint finish. I have owned 11 911s, 4 914s, and 1 928. I had custom rims with matching paint to the car and the rails chewed off the paint and gouged metal terribly. Thanks for the advice and I agree for the most part and have additional items on my own list along with horror stories that go along with your list.

[@loveorhateporsche9114]

the auto carwash thing, just have to find the right auto car wash. Don't go through the ones that pull you through the whole mouse trap. That is bad for your wheels and getting them scratched. If you have an automated that is stationary and the machine moves, that is fine. No wheel damage and no dirty towels afterwards drying your car.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

The sinner! ;-) What a cheery video and that lad kissing the car, golden! thank you! Anna

[@giggity1144]

So what do you drive?

[@myphuqingcloud7051]

I only close the hood with a soft cloth and below the emblem... then I wax the area I touched. Yes. I'm phaaaaked up.

[@dennismccool8760]

Good list, but you missed the Porsche owner distain for putting the spoiler up at slow speed. Personally I love the look, but have been “corrected” numerous times.

[@acesantics1287]

I don't get how letting other people drive your Porsche is a bad thing... driving a Porsche is amazing thing, and I would want as many people to experience that as possible.

[@draiaj5736]

I take both of mine to the dealership for Everything but detailing... I paid over 200K and it’s 2 years old. I find it ridiculous to buy such an expensive performance vehicle and nickel and dime about where it’s being serviced... but I am one of those Porsche owners that’s picky about washing, and paint care, because Porsches topcoat is considered a soft coat and I find that even though it can still be beautiful it takes a certain amount of care to keep that show room pop

[@nz6241]

I've seen my buddy's Cayman rims getting scraped on the wheel guide as it went through the wash. Rims be expensive!

[@jordanedouglas]

It’s not a boxster engine, it’s a boxer engine. Boxster name was the combination of boxer and roadster

[@swconnexion]

soooo, is it a 7.1.8 or a 7.18 ?

[@gustavo66bueno]

the front hood you are supposed to push the hood closed on the latch not the emblem

[@gordonlane2572]

Nice video, Dude. I can relate to every point you made and I've made two of those faux pas myself. I'm sure that, at some point, every Porsche owner has, before they learned the rules of the culture.

[@enaicee]

1. How tall are you and what size is the shirt you're wearing? 2. Any plans to bring the design to any other colors of shirts?

[@Mechonomist]

I’m 5’7” and that’s a size small. It comes in lots of different colors already too :)

[@Mauritsjacobsen]

I learned how to drive manual in a 997 when I was 16. been driving manual 997´s and other 911´s ever since

[@JUNJUN-lw2vr]

Do whatever you like. It's your car, I can care less what people say. Porsche, Porschaw, Portch. Lol

[@Shawn-ik6dr]

What? No "touchless washes" where you are?

[@montyjoel]

I agree with Shawn, touchless car wash is fine, no risk to paint

[@StandbyCymbalist]

my friend bough a Porsche and decided to let a girl he liked drive it. She pulling out of the parking lot, and directly into oncoming traffic. I think he only had it for a few weeks.

All owners of any car should worry about paint. Bottom line you will always have contaminates that will scratch the paint. I hand wash all my cars and use brand new micro fiber clothes and new sponges. I also use three buckets, first 2 to rinse out the sponge before I go to the third bucket filled with soap. This is especially important with black paint.

You mentioned that kids these days don’t pay that much attention to cars, but it’s not that we don’t pay attention. I can barely pay gas and maintenance for my own car getting paid 7.25 an hour. I myself would love to own more than one car. But it’s farfetched, at least over here in Puerto Rico.

“Don’t let people you don’t know drive your car!” I thought this was common sense? Also check the insurance position before you do so. In the UK on fully comp if you let someone drive your car they will only be covered third party ie the insurance company will not pay for repairs to your own car in the event of an accident!!! Also check they have a licence 😅

[@mr.terwilliger5728]

Kids still like cars. Just hard for young people to afford much being taxed between 34-42% by the state and federal govt

I just bought one of your shirts in red. Pretty sweet! Shipping was a bit long but no big deal.

He’s like, if Val Kilmer shared a body with Brendan Urie.

Running your car in an automatic car wash has nothing to do with Porsche “purists”, it’s a general rule for any guy that cares about their car’s finish.

[@sunnybleek0321]

I found this video hilarious! As a owner of a PORSCHA, if owners can't laugh at themselves. They are way to serious and need to go buy a Hugo!

[@Poolproaz]

WTF is a Hugo??

[@JUNJUN-lw2vr]

Safety pinned your headliner....no no no that's a major Sin!

[@markedwards7721]

An auto wash can destroy a car. It only takes once to learn your lesson. A $10,000 lesson in damage.

[@mrrmsfucker146]

I worked at 2 and never washed my cars at them. Current car (08 Jet black Cadillac escalade)

[@UrsRiggenbach]

😂😂😂, it‘s hard to be a Porsche owner. Especialy if we own Caymans or Boxters. These beautiful cars have to go trough the same hard times as the transaxle models. Time will work for us 😊

[@timpeeters7491]

excellent video my man!

[@kago9624]

You don't what to press on the emblem ether press on the front end of the hood

[@rocketn8]

You still put the hood down wrong. Don't press on the badge cos they are prone to bending in. ...lol.

[@BassistUndStolzDrauf]

actually he did it right the very first time, slamming it is the best way to close a hood. that's how they are designed to be closed. coming from an automotive engineer

[@scottthompson5855]

B.S. Prone to bending my ass. You evenly press on the crest with palm pressure. Friggin’ gorilla or what dude....

[@scottthompson5855]

Matthias Friedl No need to slam anything on a Porsche...Ever. Face palm.

[@jessies1509]

@@scottthompson5855 I slam my hood with full force. Works great!

[@scottthompson5855]

Burning Money Until it doesn’t...

[@GiAnNiS--zx10r--Tracer900--]

you said about the automatic carwash but you didn't say that is a pitty using an automatic gearbox in cars like this, it's important to feel the car with a manual gerabox

[@rvfan96]

That's just your opinion. I test drove manual before I bought mine in PDK. Manual is fun and all but there are other things you want to enjoy while driving other than shifting gear.

[@jamessuttie1261]

Good fun video. I liked it. I have been in PCA for over 20 years and like 95% of the Members. 5% are a bit anal, so I just avoid them. Two specifics on your vid. When closing the lid, I have heard conflicting views. One side says not to put pressure on the front hood emblem. Other side says to close the lid by gently putting pressure around the emblem. I do the latter. Second comment is your pronunciation of PDK is excellent. I took 3 years of German in high school and could not do as well. Great stuff.

[@unhygienix1970]

My only Porsche rule I follow is it's my car and I can do whatever I want with it!

[@yannih1782]

Never close your hood by pressing on the badge. Always just in front of it. Also, There is no "a" at the end of Porsche. Plus what was Ferdinand's last name? Lastly, you missed the the greatest sin of all. Not owning a real Porsche, ie 911...

[@100thomasmagnum]

Im guilty of #3. Lol. If someone takes his/her Porsche to a car wash...omg NO! Just do it yourself and claim it as a workout. Or pay a detailer to clean it. If u do, them rims may get damaged depending on how the wash moves the car through. I also have a Mustang that i took through years ago, the car wash guy backed it into a wall! Never take a valuable car through a wash unless its just a jet stream only and make sure the wash's wheel grippers aren't going to screw them up.
