Old Cars Were Better at THIS | What Modern Cars Lost | Ep. 32
Modern cars are faster, safer and easier to live with—but did we lose something along the way? In Episode 32 of Shifted Opinions, Paul Kramer, Casey Parkin and Dave Van Epps dig into the things they genuinely miss about old cars: thin A-pillars, incredible visibility, wing windows, pop-out rear glass, real bumpers, hood ornaments, pop-up headlights, spare tires and the simple, mechanical feeling that made older cars feel different. The conversation also gets into where the “modern Porsche” era really begins—and why going back to a vintage Porsche after years in newer cars can be a shock. Then the discussion takes a bigger turn: what happens when the enthusiast car you bought to DRIVE becomes so valuable that driving it starts causing anxiety? From a manual Ferrari 360 purchased for around $90,000 and later sold for nearly $300,000 to an ultra-rare Aqua Blue 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS potentially worth more than $900,000, the guys debate whether collectors should cash out, buy something cheaper—or stop watching the market and keep driving the cars they love. Plus: 996 and 997 GT3 values, Porsche transaxle cars, the 968 Turbo S, collector-car insurance, Carfax damage, Le Mans strategy and some of the best driving roads in America.
