🎙️ This Week on Full Throttle Talk
We’re taking no prisoners. From Porsche supercar fantasy drafts (959, Carrera GT, GT2 RS, GT3 RS… which ONE would you actually keep?) to the death of real automotive journalism (looking at you, YouTubers & manufacturer mouthpieces), we’re calling it like it is.
🔥 Rants include:
The dumbest automotive trends that need to vanish (matte paint, carbon fiber overload, burble tunes, and those ridiculous gooseneck wings)
Predictions on which fads will age like milk
Auction insanity: why vintage Porsche & Ferrari race cars are still the ultimate benchmark
Market madness: “Old man spec” 993s breaking six figures — WTF?!
Watch talk: what we’re wearing and hunting this week
C&C throwbacks, slantnose shakedowns, and Monterey Car Week stories
This one’s loaded with car culture controversy, Porsche hot takes, Ferrari digs, auction shockers, and watch-collector banter. If you’re into Porsches, Ferraris, supercars, or just calling BS on the industry, this is your episode.
