The Porsche 911 isn’t as exciting as you think - The Carmudgeon Show - Ep. 2

Every classic-car event is overrun with air-cooled Porsche 911s. There are reasons why - the 911 is great to drive, robust, and reliable - but should misery be part of the old-car ownership experience? Is buying an aircooled 911 the obvious choice, or is it the lazy one?
==
The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled 25-minute conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.
Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on KZbin alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile - and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with.
Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering - which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.

[@joshuaparriott2808]

What I find odd is the amount of time spent on what other people think of you when you show up to an (fill in the blank-car show/cars and coffee etc...) event in a Porsche. As an all around car guy (focused on many different car genres) I hardly ever attend these events. I don't care what other people think is cool, I care about what I like and what I think is cool. You shouldn't buy cars to impress other people-if that is your focus, then I'd say you aren't a "pure/real" car guy. I could care less if the Prius driver turns their nose up at me-or anyone else when you pull up beside them in a BBC. No matter how you slice it, it's someone else's opinion that you can easily choose not to care about. Drive your pacer. Drive your civic. Drive your friggin Porsche and nevermind what the other douche bags you don't know or care about think. Join the genuine car community and stop caring about investments; and, for the love of God- stop buying cars for status. Just my 2 cents. I've been wrong before...

[@JasonCammisa]

You're not wrong this time.

[@bb11440]

,Naaa, you're not wrong at all....

[@tcolley]

JasonCammisa still wrong. We see this all the time but a response to a point nobody is making. Why not choose something you like that others can enjoy also? We do this w/ everything from the clothes we wear to the words we choose. Something we like that doesnt make us look like assholes 😉😂

[@rahulmandala4930]

@@tcolley Sure, but if people want to say something (be it good or bad) about what clothes you have on or what shoes you're wearing, that's their choice to speak. You didn't purely do it for others to think of you. If there are people that enjoy your presence in the way you are, then I say it's all jolly good. If there's those that have a few knits to pick, then that's their problem and ignorance affecting your train of thought and confidence. Driving a 911 doesn't make you look like an asshole. If your labeled that by someone, then that's just pure ignorance from the other party.

[@jeebus2121]

I understand his point, but for the money, what other cars offer the union of performance and build quality?

[@michaellorenson2997]

My first episode, though I'm familiar with Jason and his style, so no surprises there. Derek I don't know about, but I think he 'won' this round because more of what he said made sense and was on-point. I am a real-live, old, carmudgeon. I remember when, at least in America, an air-cooled 911 WAS a weird and esoteric choice. It was totally apart from mainstream car design, and we sort of understood it to be some kind of hot-rod beetle (which wasn't so far off, actually). If we had not been relatively familiar with Beetles (not everyone knew much about those, either), I'm not at all sure that 911s would have become icons in America. Maybe. Eh, I don't know. I've never owned either, but I have driven both, including an air-cooled 911 Turbo. I once spun a Beetle wildly. Both Beetles and old 911s include that fear factor as standard equipment, free of charge. With modern electronic nannies, the behavior of any car can be perfected. So, oddly, a rear-engine 911 now makes more sense than ever as a performance platform. You get the advantages of extreme rearward weight bias (forward traction, excellent braking) without the downsides (initial understeer, instability on the limit). Just proves that, if you live long enough, you'll see the darnedest things come to pass.

[@seattimetv]

Man, I always say drive what YOU love. Cars are super subjective. Damn what someone says under their breath at the show. Your car is what you like. Your experience behind the wheel is yours. To me the ultimate douche thing to do is spend your money on a car YOU DON’T LIKE.

"Maybe roadside breakdowns are the stuff stories are made of." Can confirm this is true.

[@rahulmandala4930]

Love this Channel and podcast as well as you two!!! Awesome points were made on both sides, respectively... Yeah, 911s are sensible choices to those that don't want to risk it. However, the 911 has that charm that lies in with its Flat 6 powertrain and awesome driving dynamics and experience overall. From the classic 964s to the present 992s, the design has not only been carried over beautifully, but it still dances with all that emotion. The everyday folks at the car scene won't understand the 911 fully, but it's when you're behind the wheel of one, that you'll know it'll make you giggle like a kid at a dream toy store, all while blending in. Porsches aren't known to be flashy like Lamborghini's since day 1. As for originality, it can't be any more original with a rear engine, RWD setup. Now, I'll agree that yeah it would be kind of weird seeing 911s be as common as priuses and whatnot around car meets on the 50th anniversary of the model, but it just that the 911 has the cult following like how Classic VWs, Fiats, Wranglers, Vettes, etc. have

I finally bought a Miata last year. At least half my friends and family describe it as a mid life crisis car. But I knew it would drive better than all of my usual shit boxes and it just does. I kept a Forester for carrying more people and stuff. That Miata will take years to master and get right and it will be fun all the way. From there, right now it's an Elise or a 911. Because they're awesome. Without ditching the Miata - I don't think you need ever get rid of one of them. A properly prepared, light, air cooled 911 ... I know they're awesome to drive. Why are you carrying one about this?

Spot on. I went to a youngtimer meetup last week, there was a 968 and a 993, went past them without a second glance. On the other hand, I will probably never stop drooling at the sight (and sound) of a 930, especially turbo with that huuuuuuge wing and sideskirt protectors. Oh, and I saw a Pagode last summer on my 10-minute stroll from work. Not the first time. And I don't live in Hollywood (to say the least).

[@HemiBurns]

ISSIMI is "Pure Genius Format..." Thank you!!

[@majornerd]

I’ve owned 170 cars (most sub $5000 cars that I fixed and flipped) and the 996 & SC are in the top 5. The BMW F30 (perfectly reliable, fast, comfortable, good looking), Land Rover s2a (restored with my dad and a gas to drive and work on), and ‘71 mini (no brakes at all when I bought it, wheel fell off on the freeway, now restored and a blast to drive) are the rest of the top five. The 996 is my daily beater car. The SC is just wonderful to drive. The SC is such a “done” car I refuse to spend any time on the exterior of the car. Why bother with making it “perfect” when they are all trying to be perfect and thus boring. Instead I make it run great and focus on driving it so I can smile. Because it drives so well.

[@chrisperry3525]

why own a classic car? remisce/relive your youth, have something you dreamed of but couldn't have back in the day. Fun to drive? Fun to show off? (ego?) Join a club (like owning a harley). Investment perhaps? I had a VW bug...isn't the air cooled porsche the ultimate iteration of that? A cayman is tempting, perhaps more so. I don't see either as 'practical'. Too many buy these 'classics' and don't use, drive them. Why? Jay leno has way too many cars, but he USES them, drives them!! I give him big props for that. I met a porsche 911 driver backin the late 80s, asked her how she liked the car. She said it sucked - every cop would follow here and she ended up never using the car as it was capable of being used.

[@darylaarons6625]

I absolutely loved my 8 year 911 ownership experience. The car was bought to be driven hard, not to impress anybody. A GT3 body kit and a modified suspension (Eibach swaybars, KW V3 coilovers) made the experience even better. I used to laugh at people at the “Cars & Coffee” meets who just wanted to stand around and talk about cars. Get out and drive the thing the way it was meant to be driven (yes, even in the rain).

[@Ash-oh7kb]

If you only have one fun weekend car for a classic a 911 is a great choice as it let's you play and not break. If you have more then one get something else cause you can have a modern fun car and then a crazy classic that breaks and gives you experiences from all spectrums.

A few years ago when 996s and 997s could be had in a decent example for $25-40k were really the golden years. If the engine scored, IMS failed, sell it for scrap and get another one. That’s no longer the case when even the most basic 997 is going for $40k. Nowadays if you want reliable, relatively cheap Porsche that won’t make people think you’re a db, you get a 987 boxster or cayman.

I don’t have a sports car yet but as a watch collector, I understand what you’re describing here. The watch equivalent to Porsche is probably Rolex. It’s reliable and obvious, and for many, that’s great.

[@Trendyflute]

Porsche hooked me into cars 20 years ago, and even though I'm broadly brand-neutral as an enthusiast nowadays, various Porsches from the 60s through the 00s continue to dominate my "dream car" list. I NEVER EVER wanted one to impress someone else. I NEVER wanted one for the status. I always recognized them as quality, robust, high-performing, highly-engineered machines that were often beautiful and, failing that, almost always distinct and uniquely packaged. The buyers who have flocked to Porsche, and more and more of the cars they're making, have been turning me off the brand for the last 5-10 years.

Jason did an awesome video review of the 1st gen GT4. This is the car that could have propelled Porsche into relevancy in the 21st Century, but instead, they geared it ridiculously high so as not to compete with the holy grail, 911 cash cow. Same now with the 718 GT4.

A big part of the excitement is the fact that everything is mechanically backwards from most other cars.The air-cooled 911 is a very strange combination of esoteric parts that happens to assemble into an all around great-performing package. Take a deeper look at any sub-component and you will see how strange it is. The torsion bar suspension is strange, the pedals are strange, the big wing is strange, the flat air-cooled dry-sump engine with the huge fan is strange.

the biggest problem with the core of their arguments is they can't separate between ownership of the car, what it means to them personally and the perception of owning a 911 to everyone else. its almost like they are two hipsters, car hipsters :D personally i think that's the wrong way to think about it, as at the end of the day they are putting the weight of their decision on what others think rather than forming their own unbiased opinion. 'A sunset is special even though the barrier to entry is a fine day, and the want to leave the confines of their house to view it.' Guess its up to the individual to determine for themselves if the definition of something special means it has to be uncommon or rare.

[@TheMadJokerRises]

I'm not a Porsche fan but I think that the 911 is actually a really good car and they proved it by winning races for more than 50 years! However the 911 just suffers from its success: because of this success, Porsche sold an insane amount of them and therefore the cars became so common that they lost their magic. Moreover, the car became an icon because of its success so 95% of 911 buyers are doing so just to show their success in life and won't ever drive their cars as they were intended which makes the 911 even more dull! In the end, it pains me to say that but the 911 remains a really good driver's car because it's so precise and fast and has a unique balance! PS: The GTV6 is such a great car

Hearing these to talk about Porsche as if it were a bus ticket anyone can afford. Yet, I heard Jason saying he can't afford $90K cars...

The only argument I have for this conversation can be summed up in one word.... Singer.

Anyone know the story on the black Porsche Boxster (I think) with the “RR” on the rear fender in the background?

[@WordToMomsYo]

david clardy that’s funny, the whole time I thought that was a McLaren

[@ISSIMIOfficial]

It's a VUHL 05RR 😉

[@davidclardy9745]

WordToMomsYo - You were closer than I was :-). That VUHL looks awesome!

So picking a classic Porsche is the equivilant of picking a classic car by Venn diagram. It's not the best at anything but good enough at everything.

[@nathanwabre]

At 56, I want to try and avoid the cars most guys my age buy. Something that doesn't scream, "LOOK AT ME!" So, no new Civic Type R for me, no WRX STi. When the Pinto was mentioned, I was like, "I haven't seen a Pinto in years." Or a Vega. Or a Ford Fairmont or a Granada. lol
