Air-Cooled Porsche Picks, Porsche News, GMA S1 LM $20M Sale & How to Love the Cars You Own

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, FTT Crew!
This week’s Full Throttle Talk is a holiday feast of Porsche news, wild shop stories, a $20.6M GMA S1 LM sale, a listener question that gets painfully honest (“How do you stay happy with the cars you own?”), AND our Air-Cooled Porsche “This or That” under $150K.
This is the perfect Thanksgiving episode: equal parts gratitude, chaos, and questionable financial decisions.

🔧 Segment #1: What We Did in Cars This Week
Tim takes a Ferrari 296 GT3 from 20th → 2nd at Mid-Ohio (sim).
Paul returns to driving post-surgery with La Tortuga + a Gulf Blue ’74.
Casey bonds with the 911.
David revives a battered 911 dubbed “Panda,” sells it, then discovers a pre-delivery transmission surprise.
Moral: Don’t buy sight-unseen. Ever.

📰 Segment #2: Automotive News
Porsche Sonderwunsch Cayenne drama (designer hot take inside).
GMA S1 LM sells for $20.6M.
VW’s “Azul” Magic Bus returns after the Palisades fires.
Alpina B8 deep-dive by Hagerty.
Hyundai’s new Magma Concept—big vibes, big questions.

💭 Listener Question:
“How do you stay happy with the cars you own?”
We get real about fizz, purpose, emotional attachment, and the dangerous influence of other enthusiasts.

⚖️ This or That:
Two air-cooled Porsches under $150K you'd keep for 5–10 years.
Conda Green 911S, America Roadster, Dolphin Grey ’66, Eddie Irvine’s old 930, Aventura Green 993, and more.
