  • In the first of eight episodes of Porsche Road Trip (Cars Unknown), John Polnik takes us on a journey through the streets of Los Angeles, where classic Porsches are more than just cars-they're a way of life. Like a well-aged wine, LA's car culture is rich, complex, and full of stories waiting to be told.
    John kicks off his adventure with a visit to Adam Carolla, a comedian who knows his way around a punchline as well as a race track. Together, they explore the intersection of humor and horsepower. Next, John meets up with Kevin Hunter, the charismatic frontman of an iconic 80's band, who shares his own tale of obsession with these timeless machines. Along the way, John dives deep into the roads, the history, and the people who make LA's classic Porsche scene so vibrant, including the rising tide of women who are carving out their own space in this traditionally male-dominated world.
    Join us as we navigate the streets, stories, and souls that make LA a mecca for Porsche enthusiasts. This isn't just about cars-it's about a culture, a community, and a connection to the past that's as enduring as the machines themselves.

    Hey, I watched episode #2 first, 100% hooked. Episode 1, great too. You are really good at presenting this. I love it. Your line about there’s only one season (in LA) and it’s driving season is so true. I used to live in San Diego, now Boston. I miss that one season!! A lot of cool content exists. Yours is excellent. I’ve watched it all, I know. Cheers!! Let’s go brother!

    Adam Corolla’s story is sooo much inspiration. I myself am a carpenter by day, I either work on carpentry related side projects in my shop by night, or I’m turning wrenches on any of my own vehicles. It’s just always more and more projects.

    I would tell Blue Goose Guy that the car would be a lot more fun to drive, especially in the twisties, with a limited slip differential. You would wear out the rear tires a lot faster, though.

      That's awesome! We've got some teener love coming for you in the next episode. Plus make sure you check out our film about a 2.0 914 and its owner that we published back in 2017 called The Graduate. You'll have to dig a bid on our page, but it's there.

    Like the new series John. Loved the Blue Goose! Have to say this did remind me of just how unfunny Adam Carolla is though. How that man actually made money doing stand up is truly baffling. Serial killers? Seriously?

    Thanks for the lesson at the end. It's def not creepy when feminist dudes try to shoehorn women into their favorite hobbies. No normal person wants that. I mean great, if they get a car and want to drive, but this weird frothing at the mouth to figure out a way to get them involved in everything historically a dudes thing, is super weird and sus. Way to ruin a video about people and their cars (men and women) with a hall monitor wagging of the finger. Goofball stuff.
