Performance Car Ownership with Gary

Send us Fan Mail 🔥Susten, Grimsel, and Furka — three of Switzerland's most famous alpine passes, driven back to back in a single day. This was, hands down, the best driving day of our entire Alps road trip, and this video covers all three: the tunnels and glacier views of Susten, the turquoise reservoirs of Grimsel, and the barren drama of Furka — including the real James Bond "Goldfinger" curve and exactly where to find it. This video also covers the real danger factor on these roads — fast local motorcycles, and why those small roadside concrete posts won't save you if you go off — plus an honest comparison of all three passes: best time to drive each, group vs. solo, and which one actually felt the riskiest. Honest, unsponsored, filmed by a PCA National Track Instructor.

Send us Fan Mail 🔥www.theplannersresourcegroup.ca For more information on the Alpine Tour. This 2026 Porsche 911 Cabriolet is rated for 181 mph. On Day 2 of our Alps trip — Munich to Stuttgart on the A8 — I broke away from our tour group, caught up to another member in a Porsche Spyder RS, and found out exactly how close a rental actually gets to that number. This video covers what "no speed limit" actually means (it's not what most people think), the real story of breaking away near Ulm and chasing the Spyder RS, and the driving discipline — mirrors, closing speed, lane etiquette — that a drive like this actually demands. Honest, unsponsored, filmed by a PCA National Track Instructor.

Send us Fan Mail 🔥I just spent seven days driving a 2026 Porsche 911 Cabriolet through Germany, Switzerland, and Austria — comparing it to everything I know about my own 718 Spyder. This is the honest answer to the question I kept getting asked: would I actually trade? Inside: a full head-to-head spec comparison, the real cost of the trip, what it actually felt like living with this car for a week (including a wheelchair-loading moment that taught me more than any spec sheet could), and the pass that wasn't even on the original itinerary that turned out to be the best drive of the whole trip.

In this video, I show you why — the six real clutch habits that separate a clutch that lasts to 100,000 miles from one that's replaced twice in three years, plus a quick animated look at how the GR-FOUR AWD system changes the stakes on this specific car. 🎥 Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/RgkLs-zGxM8 LOVE THE GARY THE CAR NUT YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WANT TO WATCH MORE FUN AND SOMETIMES EDUCATIONAL CONTENT ABOUT SPORTSCARS, HOT HATCHES AND SURVIVOR CARS?

Send us Fan Mail 🔥I've owned my Miami Blue 718 Spyder for six years , and today I'm sharing eight real, dollar-and-cents ownership costs that no Porsche sales team walks you through before you sign — from the real invoice numbers on oil changes, spark plugs, and brake pads, to the insurance classification trap, the soft top's known design flaw, and the rare-but-real engine risk on the 4.0-liter flat-six. 🎥 Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/nv8v9bv7ers ✅My Amazon Store Fronts USA - https://www.amazon.com/shop/garythecarnut Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/shop/garythecarnut ✅My Obsessed Garage Link (USA) - https://bit.ly/3ZJzmzf ✅Carzilla Link (Canada) - https://carzilla.ca/?ref=pafirmvo Active Products Link - https://shop.activeproducts.com?sca_ref=8165268.Adh55dEkyK LOVE THE GARY THE CAR NUT YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WANT TO WATCH MORE FUN AND SOMETIMES EDUCATIONAL CONTENT ABOUT SPORTSCARS, HOT HATCHES AND SURVIVOR CARS?

Send us Fan Mail 🔥I sat down with Dave Case — the founder of CollectorCarCanada — to find out what happens when a lifelong car person gets frustrated enough with the status quo to build his own alternative. The short version: Dave sold a Porsche 996 on Bring a Trailer. The winning bidder lived seven kilometres from his house. The buyer paid a 5% premium on top of the sale price — straight to BaT. In American dollars. That moment is why CollectorCarCanada exists. CollectorCarCanada charges zero commission to sellers. Buyers deal in Canadian dollars with no cross-border friction. All bidders are pre-authenticated.

Send us Fan Mail 🔥Dave has owned his 1989 Porsche 928 S4 five-speed manual for 22 years. He bought it in Indiana in 2004 with 47,000 miles. It now has 72,000 miles — meaning Dave has personally added only 25,000 miles in 22 years. And Dave doesn’t just love Porsches — he runs CollectorCarCanada.CA, an online collector car auction platform. He IS the collector car market. In this video, Dave gives us the complete honest owner experience: why he chose a 928 S4 five-speed in 2004 instead of the air-cooled 911 everyone else was buying. 🎥 Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/ZfbYEnysKMw LOVE THE GARY THE CAR NUT YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WANT TO WATCH MORE FUN AND SOMETIMES EDUCATIONAL CONTENT ABOUT SPORTSCARS, HOT HATCHES AND SURVIVOR CARS?

Send us Fan Mail 🔥After almost 3 years and 20,000 miles of real ownership, I dug deep into the 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla — and what I found surprised me. Not because the car isn't impressive (it genuinely is), but because of one critical thing Toyota hasn't addressed. In this video I break down the full head-to-head comparison between my 2023 GR Corolla Circuit Edition and the new 2026 GRMN: specs, real ownership costs, the track-use reality, and my final decision on whether to upgrade. 🎥 Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/RgkLs-zGxM8 LOVE THE GARY THE CAR NUT YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WANT TO WATCH MORE FUN AND SOMETIMES EDUCATIONAL CONTENT ABOUT SPORTSCARS, HOT HATCHES AND SURVIVOR CARS?
