Bonus Mini Episode: The 914/8
Porsche: Never Substituted
12/23/21 • 7 min
When it comes to rare Porsches, there are several. Cars like the 935, the 356 America Roadster, the 991 Club Coupe, the 1967 911 R, and other various factory-built rarities. But since it's the holiday and I am a committee of one when it comes to voting, I thought I'd talk about the mid-engined, very, very limited edition of the 914. It was known at the Porsche factory as the 914/S, but you may know it by its more common name, the 914/8.
Love/Hate: The Porsche 996
Porsche: Never Substituted
01/18/22 • 16 min
A quick peruse through the internet after searching for the first water-cooled 911 yields results of widely differing opinions. Things like, "it's just a bigger Boxster motor," "cheap, plastic interior," "what was Porsche thinking," and "don't get me started on the fried egg headlights." But, there is also a myriad of love given for the 911 that was the first real factory mass-produced 911. With statements like "Refinement in the drive," "better than previous 911s," and "sophistication without straying away too far from the original," Porsche collectors are now starting to see the value in these cars that share components with its little sister, the 986 Boxster. For those that hate on the 996 keep this little tidbit in mind, without going the route of shared components or the modern manufacturing processes, the Porsche we know and enjoy today may not have happened.

Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 2
Porsche: Never Substituted
12/22/21 • 12 min
When you break with tradition, there will always be detractors. People will inevitably yearn for the past and pine for a simpler time. Porsche has done it in many instances, and it is what keeps them innovating. Looking toward the future without forgetting the past is a hallmark of what Porsche is about. When the 924 was introduced, there were cries of "not a pure Porsche" and "you put the engine where?" And don't even talk about the liquid-cooled motor. But through the noise and the doubters emerged a car that has become an important part of the family and according to an unknown author, "Families are like branches on a tree. We grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one." From the 356 to the 911 to the 924 and the Carrera GT, the root is all Porsche.
Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 1
Porsche: Never Substituted
12/15/21 • 13 min
Not too long ago, I ran into an acquaintance, and we started discussing Porsches. Without asking what I currently own, he went into a rant about what constitutes a "real" Porsche. He proceeded to impart his wisdom regarding the, as he called it, the other 9's. In his words, the not-so-Porsche-like models included the 924, 928, 914, 944, and so on. I had to grin at the suggestion that those models were not Porsche's but rather some experiment gone wrong. After defending the "other 9's" to this misguided dude, who, by the way, has never owned a Porsche in his life, I decided to do some research on how Porsche's lesser-well-known other children came to be. There are countless fans and proud owners of other Porsche's that aren't the 911, and happily, we are all one big dysfunctional Porsche family.
Clark Kent or Superman? The Porsche 964
Porsche: Never Substituted
12/01/21 • 14 min
As I was researching the 964 I discovered something that shocked me. Was the 964 actually boring? Perish the thought, but the history of the 964 is anything but exciting. I found myself looking for anything that would shine an interesting light on the magnificent third generation on the 911. Was it the many patents that were filed during the design? Could it have been the inclusion of 4 wheel drive? Either way, the backstory is more akin to the mild-mannered Clark Kent, but the actual car is definitely more like Superman. Today we will take a look at the superhero and alter ego of the Porsche 911 or type 964.
Attitude Adjustment: Women and Porsche
Porsche: Never Substituted
11/09/21 • 9 min
"Is that your husband's Porsche?" "Move over and let me show you how it's done." "Your boyfriend must be really trusting to let you drive his car." And on and on and on. These are some of the attitudes that some men have about women and Porsches. Misogynistic, sexist, and sometimes downright cruel. We sometimes tend to open our mouths and insert both feet in an attempt to marginalize females in what is and what has been a predominately male-controlled industry. Yet, if we were to look a little deeper, we would see that women have had a strong voice among the collectors, enthusiasts, and racers. It isn't lost on me that this podcast is being voiced by a man and that I am sometimes tone-deaf to what is important. So, maybe it's time for a bit of an attitude adjustment and I step aside for what is clearly the next generation of Porsche owners.
Preview for Next Week - Women of Porsche

The Risky Business of Advertising
Porsche: Never Substituted
11/01/21 • 14 min
The problem with doing a podcast regarding Porsche advertisements is the fact that I get lost in watching the countless ads on YouTube for "research." Hours went by watching moving, touching, and heartfelt ads that could actually bring one to well up a bit with unshed tears. Other ads tend to make you laugh out loud or roll your eyes. Some are a bit cringy and others are profound; all in the name of Porsche. There are ads that are a little naughty and some that are completely wholesome and innocent. There are print advertisements, television commercials, and new digital media ads. There are celebrities driving all manner of Porsche's over the years with the same message: Driving a Porsche will change the way you feel about life. Simply put, Porsche: There is no substitute.
icon /ˈīˌkän/ noun: Porsche 930
Porsche: Never Substituted
10/21/21 • 13 min
Icons. Merriam-Webster has 4 definitions for the word. Each definition seemingly different, yet remarkably alike. Can someone or something be all of those? Porsche is a company that has produced its fair share of iconic cars. The 911 is recognizable as instantly Porsche and is a global icon of automotive greatness. But can there be an icon among the icon? Or even many? Somehow Porsche has managed to continually do just that. One such car that evokes an almost religious reverence is a 911 that changed the face of 911s. The completely irreverent Porsche 930.
