Here's the full mod list. Single biggest piece of feedback we've gotten so far is we need more of these details in the videos themselves. Just want you to know we're working on it!

I want to have a beer with this guy lol. That 911 looks perfectly sorted. Ride height, wheel fitment, tasteful mods, super clean, and actually driven instead of stored. Fantastic.
you got it nateopotatoe. if someone takes the time to write something, they deserve a response. unless they're calling me skinny ron jeremy again. -- KC
Much respect beautiful clean daily driven 911! You've gotta respect a person that could have taken a totally different direction in life but had the right people to guide him in the right direction. My neighborhood dealer was also my inspiration to do better for my life. I did just that! ✊🏼
A few payasos in these comments. The unpleasant scent of privilege and stale corn permeates through my computer screen reading a few of them. Navy was my Dad's ticket out of Spanish Harlem. I've been a Toyota, BMW, and Porsche fan most of my life. When I had the itch to buy a dream sports car last year, I opted for MKV Supra instead of getting a 997.2 or 991.2. I love my Supra, its tech, the story behind it, and ripping backroads... but lord willing eventually I'll have a classic Porsche 911 parked alongside it in a nice garage. Maybe I'll be fortunate enough to get a G body too. Much respect to Hector's build and his story. Dope jacket too.

I had to, not for clout but to show the world that you can turn a negative into a positive one! I try my best to lead by example as now I have the knowledge and the abilities to. Mashallah!!!
I don't understand, how it got so few views and likes, this video is super interesting! Carrera is also pretty, love it, love the rack, it brings it all together!
The algorithm dropped off for the channel. We have to watch, comment, and like the videos or it won't show up in anyone's feed. We basically have to defeat our UA-cam AI overlords.
That thing is fucking sick! Would love to see more of the interior. I bet the engine is immaculate as well. My first car was a 1970 MG Midget. Not quite a 911, but I thought I was cool.
Absolutely gorgeous 911. If I were to have an older 911, this would be it. The style is on point and I appreciate his service as well, thank you for that. Had to edit, this thing sounds great. Better than my 3.6. So nice.
In a world full of wannabe influencers...we need more content on real people with real stories that people can identify with or at least learn something from!
These are the stories I like to hear - what sparked the interest in a particular car. These first three since the relaunch all seem like they are keepers for these guys...
@@driveYes - these are great so far, I'd agree with others on a bit of detail about the mods would be a nice addition to the videos as the cars you're featuring have been personalized by their owners. Let me know if you get out our way!
haha, those wealthy older white guys from Rhode Islands with there Purist Porsche Collections and pink cardigans over there shoulders are going to be totally fuming at this video thinking "yeah nice ride not sure about the guy driving it though" hahah....
The return of this content is interesting even from a media study point. Is it still relevant? The profile interviews from the days past, so commercialised from Drive and Petrolicious, in 2024 feel current or outdated? Are they cringe and irrelevant? Do people prefer long-form videos without people self-boasting? It is weird. It really is weird. I wonder if viewership answers these questions.
Read up, the last code name 911 was 1986. And yes the 915 had something to do with it. When you own a 911, the analog feeling will never be the same on anything after 1986. Blessings.
@@hectorespinal1010 so the g50 3.2, 964 and 993 are not real 911s? Come on. The 915 is regarded as fine but not outstanding. The g50 improved the 3.2 and does not make it some sort of modern trash. Arguing that the trans makes it the last one is to much
I see what you're trying to do but I care more about a cars story than the person who owns it. I could be wrong but I'd assume most Drive subscribers are insane car nuts like me and think the same.

@@thomasxl200 got to do it man! thanks for watching
@@lamboferruccio always wantin to do better
It’s nice to see some honesty and not somewhere who either tries to glamorise the street life or deny it altogether. Real
Hector's a real one.
This is simply , "One bad-ass Porsche",respect!!!
I want to have a beer with this guy lol. That 911 looks perfectly sorted. Ride height, wheel fitment, tasteful mods, super clean, and actually driven instead of stored. Fantastic.
total package
Last bit is the best bit, Porsches are made to be driven.
Beautiful car, appreciate how active you are in the comments. It means a lot. Thanks for the heads up on details in the future.

love your perspective on this
I was in 8th grade in 1986 and not sure I like that year being considered vintage! Anyway, great piece on a rad 911.
6:20 says it all. Cool man.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant, love the yellow headlights ❤
Love the energy
Sounds so good!! Good job Squid!!
From pushin' P to Pushin Porsche - dope
Beautiful
I’m a vendor at the shop that works on this… and in person this thing is just badass while parked or up on the lift. Can’t take my eyes off it
What a cool car and story.
Proud to say this my friend!!!
Money! My story is very similar and always longed to have a Porsche (got a 997 Turbo) ! Love your story and your delivery of life expression !!!
🔥🔥🔥 beautiful! Awesome story telling! Great way to put it, we’re just grown kids with bigger toys 💯💪

Loved the story and love the car
Quite the story!! Very clean 911 🔥🔥
Beautiful car 😎🔥👏👍

They did upload till recently again that's why. It will get there if they stay this active.
This sealed the deal for me. Know I gotta have one.
Great stuff guys!
thanks man!
Wonderful car, great story
Gorgeous car and stand up dude
Dear God, that's one awesome 911...
The car and story were great!
i just love that if i saw it on the street, i'd never guess the owner was as real as hector -- KC
🔥awesome stance, and look
WOW SUPERB ❤
Sweet ride.
Phenomenal video!! Awesome owner, awesome car!
🙌🙌
So fucking clean.
Another great new video, loving the relaunch so far
thank you!!
That's a real eye catcher!
What a stunning car and beautiful story. Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for watching!
That thing is fucking sick! Would love to see more of the interior. I bet the engine is immaculate as well. My first car was a 1970 MG Midget. Not quite a 911, but I thought I was cool.
Love from India !!!
UA-cam's cc not justifying
My favorite Porch 911
Car is 🔥 🔥 🔥 💯
That roof rack is the shit.
Absolutely gorgeous 911. If I were to have an older 911, this would be it. The style is on point and I appreciate his service as well, thank you for that. Had to edit, this thing sounds great. Better than my 3.6. So nice.
For real. We're working to get better exhaust sounds in the vids too. Glad you noticed this one is a gem.
So glad you are back with these videos
Gorgeous car. Makes me feel a bit sad about my 987.2 Cayman. 😂
don’t feel sad, that’s a great car!
That was a cool story.
hector rules. thanks for watching
Car looks awesome, but that suitcase rack is an odd juxtaposition…
In a world full of wannabe influencers...we need more content on real people with real stories that people can identify with or at least learn something from!
that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. thanks for watching!
I love his Porsche. Fantastic video .This is great content guys, keep it up. More like this please
as you wish! thanks for watchin
My dude, considered the Wide Body Hellcat…. 😮 That was a close one!
fr tho
True !!
Cars bring people together !!
Fnck yeah Porsche
fnck ya

I'm so grateful The Drive is back. Great story
grateful to be back, and to have fans like you 🙏
Such a clean car, and the roof rack with all of the little details look so sick.
How do you not stop and stare seeing this thing coming down the street.
A mostly stock 911 on Fuchs with a pegasus stickers. Great car, but how is it not typical?
I think the title of the video, is referring to the story itself, as not being typical...
thedrive pinned his mod list in a comment. Definitely not mostly stock
You didn’t read the pinned comment and it shows.
Yeah, rather stock set up. My old one is a wide body with BBS RS rims, proper whale tail.
That Harriman?
Like the look of those Carbone roof racks. Great story and video!
Where do I get that jacket
I like your story.. it should inspire the youth to excel. Good job.
Interested to know how long you were in the military?
hector served for 22 years -- KC
Amazing car. Lose the roof rack
Those yellow headlights have to go.
people are loving or hating them, no middle ground there
Love the set-up, thanks for hitting my hood Bear Mountain area!

The last true 911 because of the 915? To far.

@@erictaylor5780Was ? when he said that as well. No G50?
Halfway through the video and no info about the car at all. No thanks, I’ll maybe check back on the channel later
Wikipedia has a great write up about Dr. Ferdinand and our obsession. Blessings!!
we’re working on that balance for future videos. hope you do check us out again ✌️
Roof racks are not cool.
Lies lies lies....
Great....ruined with rack
I see what you're trying to do but I care more about a cars story than the person who owns it. I could be wrong but I'd assume most Drive subscribers are insane car nuts like me and think the same.
i feel you. we’re trying to do something a bit different but for sure we’re still finding the right balance. thanks for watching
First!
grats! you win our eternal respect
Not your typical Porsche story because it has nothing to do with the Porsche
Dream!
I really like the car and his story bad ride🫡
