In this episode, I sit down with Mark Pribanic to explore what happens when a car stops being a hobby and becomes part of how you move through the world.

From the moment a Porsche 356 found him to the countless miles, roadside repairs, and unforgettable trips that followed, Mark shares how driving a 60-plus-year-old car everywhere has shaped his perspective on patience, risk, and freedom.

We talk about sketchy moments, the stories only old cars can create, and why choosing to drive — rather than simply preserve — keeps the spirit of these machines alive. We also dive into his connection with the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, the emotional roles different cars play, and what it means to be a steward of something with history.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “crazy” for wanting to really use a classic — this conversation is for you.
