If you’ve ever wondered whether you should blow your budget on a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo S or roll the dice on a Ferrari 296 GTB, this episode is for you. We’re talking weekend toys, extra cars, and the real questions that matter: do you want German precision with a warranty, or Italian drama with curves that melt your soul?\n\nBut that’s just the starting line. We also tear into:\n\n\n  \nPorsche’s Strategic Realignment – The new PHEV Macan, whispers of a budget sports car under $75K, and why the BEV 718 “will suck so hard.” Are Porsche dealers panicking behind the curtain?\n\n\n\n  \nYoungtimers vs Oldtimers – Why ‘90s and 2000s cars (your old Gran Turismo heroes) are skyrocketing while 356s and non-special ‘70s 911s sit flat. We predict the next wave of collectibles and argue about demographics, wealth transfer, and nostalgia.\n\n\n\n  \nChoosing your weekend car wisely – 964 RS, 993 C2S, 997 Club Sport, Ferrari 296 GTB, or a modern 911 Turbo. What really fits your lifestyle, roads, budget, and sanity?\n\n\n\n  \nCollector Car Auctions – From legendary Porsche 904s and Ferrari race cars to utterly ridiculous sales like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster and a Yugo Cabrio. Yes, people actually pay real money for this stuff.\n\n\n\n  \nPop Quizzes & Debates – What was the hottest car of 2025? What’s the “It Girl” of 2026? 997 GT3 RS 4.0 vs Singer Classic. Favorite old features that should return (spoiler: everyone wants pop-up headlights back).\n\n\n\n\nAnd of course, the crew shares real car life updates:\n\n\n  \nTeaching friends how to wrangle a Ferrari 296 GTS on carbon fiber wheels.\n\n\n\n  \nBackroad adventures in the Swedish Sled.\n\n\n\n  \nUpgrades that transform clutch feel.\n\n\n\n  \nShakedown runs ahead of Targa Carolina in an air-cooled 911 with fresh electric A/C.\n\n\n\n\nIf you love Porsche vs Ferrari debates, car auction madness, and brutally honest takes on the future of collector cars, this is your show.\n\n Subscribe, share, and join the conversation. We don’t do boring—we do uncensored, sarcastic, opinionated car talk the way it should be.\n\n\n\nConnect with us:\n\nPaul Kramer: 714-335-4911 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠paul@autokennel.com⁠⁠⁠⁠\n\nCasey Parkin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠casey@groupccuration.com⁠⁠⁠\n\nDavid Van Epps: 704-799-7680⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠dave@sonderwerks.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ | IG and FB is @sonderwerks\n\nTim Harris: 512-758-0206 (text only) | tim@timandjulieharris.com"},"annotations":[{"startTime":138.18,"endTime":144.12,"type":"car","title":"Porsche 911","url":"/cars/porsche/911","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/2013_Porsche_911_Carrera_4S_%28991%29_%289626546987%29.jpg","quote":"...robably 15 years  ago a beautiful 69 Golden Green 911 E and when I was talking to the husband he's like...","canonicalId":"car:porsche:911","priority":0.7,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"David Villarreal Fernández (CC BY-SA 2.0)"}},{"startTime":251.9,"endTime":255.86,"type":"car","title":"Ford Mustang","url":"/cars/ford/mustang","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/1966_Ford_Mustang_coupe_white_001.jpg","quote":"... the hero car like you said, which is what a mock Mustang or something.
