    I always wondered how Puppi kept the shots so steady and then we see in the reflection the camera is on a pole or gimble system. Here I thought she had incredible arm strength. Either way, she always does an excellent job in filming everything and just always follows wherever you are and whatever you are pointing out. You two make a great videography team.

    Oh man, those Porsches are making me get car sweats, an RS 4.0 in THAT spec, AND a Speedster with that interior spec. So gorgeous, the whole lineup is insane. Nice to see your GT back in the California sunshine. Looking forward to your Car Week adventures Shmee!
    Be safe and have FUN!!!
    edit: hit 5.0 instead of 4.0

    No mention of the slightly dirty black/grey Chevy Malibu? Just kidding. I LOVE how many of these cars are manuals and they all look stunning in that California sun! The weather does not get any better than that. A drive in this weather with these cars in this place is what a perfect day looks like. Thanks again for the great content Shmee! Work has been busy so now I am playing catch up with your videos. Actually, this looks like what Forza Horizon would look like in real life and in California. Just epic!

    Peak 911 in my opinion. Small enough to fit on UK roads (992 is as big as my Macan) too big for UK roads. I’ll never sell my ‘GT2RS’. I remember you filming the 911x911s at Silverstone in 2012, I was driving my 911 at that event!

    What a timely video is. Just A few hours ago I came across the documentary on how the 911 almost got axed from Porsche. They didn't like it and they wanted to drop it off of their production line. If it wasn't for an American ceo and a lowley german engineer to save it from the 928
