Can You Trust an Old 911? Fire Risk, Winter Storage, and the Best $100K Air-Cooled Porsche
Rennthusiast RadioAbout this episode
This week, Will and Derek dig into YOUR questions in our first-ever listener Q&A episode — covering everything from whether you can actually trust an old 911 on a long trip… to which air-cooled 911 is the smartest buy under $100K. In this episode: Can you trust an air-cooled 911 to take your kid on a road trip — or are you asking for trouble? Do you really need a fire extinguisher in the car? What actually causes those classic Porsche fires? The right way to store your 911 for winter (battery tender, fuel stabilizer, starting it monthly — or not?) What’s the best first air-cooled 911 for under $100K if you already own a modern GT car? Will & Derek’s backstory — how we met, what we do for a living, and how Rennthusiast Radio started. The Safari 911 debate : still cool or completely played out? This episode is built entirely from listener questions — so thank you to everyone who sent one in.
