Great video, great seeing this again. Myself, 3 air-cooled Porsches over many years, belonged to PCA for a while in the 90's but couldn't seem to penetrate the club scene. Our daughter took her driver road test in the 84' Carrera (passed first time) and one son took it to his Sr Prom., went all over the eastern US in those cars. The only failure we ever had was the A/C switch shorted out in the console in Charleston, SC which I fixed with a bit of sandpaper. The most dependable old cars out there. We still have the 993 which doesn't get enough road time anymore, but it sure is still willing to go! I have had lots of seat time in a Boxster S and a 997S, loved them both but never moved beyond the 993 in ownership.
To me the whole Porsche thing was and is a great, dependable driver's car that needs little maintenance beyond what the book clearly tells the owner to do to keep them running in fine shape. I could go one a long time about the steering, seat position, suspension, the solid feel of the entirety, etc. but there are books full of that.
