My 1988 Porsche 911 Turns 88k Miles - Air Cooled Therapy Drive

“Need money for porsche”

Was really cool experience seeing you drive this car, because I've only seen you pull up in it or drive off. She's so smooth like butter. I'm intrigued by these sideways gauges. I'd like to try them. I think I miss driving a little.

I just love hearing all the mechanical noises your 911 makes! Just hearing whats going on is something special

Congrats on the 88k Tom! I only wish my cars were that low🤣 my '94 coupe is close to 203k (in km, not sure what the ml would be)

Just rolled over 94k miles in my 1980 SC today and can definitely relate to having to come to terms with knowing that a slight mistake on my or someone else's part could put me in the hospital, or worse, but the driving experience is just TOO good to move on from it.

I wonder if the smaller modern Porsches like the 987 thru 718 Spyder feel as fun at 6/10ths

Slow enough to have fun on road.

Looks and sound are more important than raw speed.

Beautiful car, man! Since I got my '78 SC, I've been considering starting filming as well. She's drives like a dream, so it's kind of hard to not share it with others 😁

Driver swap on the road is funny

Driving standards seem to have dropped precipitously since covid

Thanks for passing cyclists with lots of space ❤

Drive safe people, especially when you have others in the car with you

Road deaths are going up but perhaps more scary is pedestrian + cyclist deaths are going WAY up. Cars are significantly heavier and faster, coupled with the fact everyone's distracted.... yeah it aint pretty

How much bhp is it pushing

I have a 97 miata and it feels so mechanical and I love it.

Cool cruising

Nice! i got a 1984 Porsche 994

I made the mistake of buying a 1983 911 SC with the 915 transmission. Hands down one of the worst transmissions I've ever operated in my almost 50 years of driving. Also, had I known then what I know now about that transmission and the broken head studs issue, I never would've bought that '83. I would've gotten the next generation, like yours, with the 3.2 and G50 trans. I'd probably still have that car if I did...

I know the flat 6 sound thing

I like modern cars plenty, but my last 3 cars have been 80s enthusiast vehicles and I can't go back. It's just an experience.

Love it man! I miss that sound. As I’ve mentioned before, the 1977 Slant Nose that you drove a few years ago out of MA is in restoration. When it’s finished, I’d love to have you out to do another video on it in its new state. Likely early next summer near Chicago.

Aka... "look how low mileage my 1988 Porsche has" 😂

Had an 85 3.2 that i bought for a song. Sold it for a song plus what i put into it.

you know the drivers good if he’s rotated his gauges

nice 911 ride,👍👍👍,

Why is air cooled vs water cooled such a big deal for Porsches?

Beautiful... this was therapy for me too

My god, man. Every time you take this thing for a ride, I question everything about my life and start making new plans...

"At least people like it."

You've only driven this 6000 miles in 9 years?

Well done, information on your parking arrangement would be interesting.

I love that you love this car!

You live right near me in MA lol. I take my Kawasaki Z900 down by that McDonalds and WalMart all the time.

Very cool! Even the 911 had that annoying late 80's "time to shift" arrow! Booo!

Whoever dies with the lowest reading on his Porsche odometer, loses!

Always love seeing this car on your channel. I just bought my first air cooled car - a 1973.5 Viper Green 911T hot rod - and I’m BEYOND excited. This video totally encapsulates what the air cooled driving experience is all about. Thanks for sharing as always!

180 HP of fury...

Love ❤️ this 🚗!!!!! My road rage 😤 is off the map 🗺 due to stupid people not paying attention and driving like idiots I about died because a person in a pickup was in a hurry on a busy highway and he cut off a tanker 😠😠😠😠 in front of me

Instead of snapping your neck, you’ll just break the lower half of your face and be eating out of a straw for months. Happened to a few guys in the Miata community running no steering wheel airbag and a 3 point. No hate, just sayin. Love your vids.

I drive an Alfa with a lap belt, wood wheel, and no headrest 😂

Im have a question regarding your shoes. I bought two pairs of Sabelts and I found out that narrow shoes are actually too narrow to do heel and toe in my 944 S2 and my favourite are actually quite wide soft EVA foam sole DC shoes. Do you have pro tips regarding shoes for driving?

Wow 🤩

Okay if I see you in real life I don't call the police if you catch me caressing it. I come in peace I mean no harm!

i saved up 2 years to buy a crazy cart xl, locally a aircooled 911 is €100K here. Its like buying a second house... so keep on dreaming.

That's the kind of therapy I need but my health insurance wouldn't cover😅

Nice. But for us old timers I use to eat them for lunch on the back roads of Marin County in the 80’s with my Shelby Charger…😊

That's the exact Porsche that I wanted back in the day. I could've bought one for around $20K in the late 90's and have regretted not buying one ever since.

Marvelous car, truly irreplaceable.

what a beauty

I get the same feeling whenever I take out my 2003 SVT Cobra…..what awesome driving experience….My Mini R56 Turbo is like a fine edged knife…Cobra like a sledgehammer…..😂😂.
