Can You Trust an Old 911? Fire Risk, Winter Storage, and the Best $100K Air-Cooled Porsche


Listen Later

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?
