From a fellow 944 owner in NYC, congrats Kevin! Happy to see that junkyard-bound cars like this 944 are being saved and can potentially be cosmetically restored with the right tools, technique, and care. After all, it's a Porsche! Would be an awful shame to see it scrapped or parted out.

In this day and age, anyone with sufficient dedication to a specialised topic can amass an audience on the Internet. This is good for the host, who can make a living on a unique interest. At the same time, because of YT's algorithm, people with that same unique interest can join such communities, overcoming the barrier of time and space. The big problem with this development is that when everyone can choose to solely consume content that is tailored to their hobby and conform to their world view, there are fewer opportunities for meeting people with different or opposing world views. This echo chamber effect can be harmful to understanding and cooperation in the larger communities of cities, countries, and nations.

Hey larry, just want to say thanks for all the videos. My dad just handed me down his beloved car, a 2011 CTS. It meant a lot to me because it was the first nice (very lightly used) car he's ever bought in his entire life, and the newest car I've ever owned by a wide margin. He's not the best on detailing by any means, more of a "drive thru car wash" kind of person, but I appreciated the fact that he handed the car down to me so much that I wanted to do right by it. Just spent a few weeks studying the absolute hell out of your videos and just did a full interior/exterior detail on the car. Was an absolute joy and the black paint reflects like a mirror now. Much appreciated, I hope you realize how valuable these videos are to all your viewers

Add $10k for a turbo version, which has 250hp+ against about 1600 pounds of weight.
