    There's something about that pov shot at 1:06, Jesus it's just so classic, besides the beautiful composition, i don't know what it is. Is it the frame rate, added noise, the boosted warmth, the reflections on the rear quarter and mirror, or that perfectly times bird flying across frame with that gorgeous landscape? Just bloody timeless, I love it

    Best road trip, was to Sebring, convinced my professor to let me take my final early. Dad with his 69 911 updated body wise to a 73 RSR clone with parts from Porsche Racing,. Dad got home after putting in 40 hours of driving his semi and we left for Sebring late Wendsday afternoon, our family dog a small dog, decided the back seat of the 356 gave him a better view on top of our luggage and misc. Drove straight thru with my brother and dad sharing driving between the two cars to get to Sebring on Thursday afternoon.

    My first new car was a '71 VW Type 3 "Squareback." And while it certainly wasn't great-handling, and, with only 60 hp, definitely underpowered, the feel of it, from the skinny bakelite steering wheel, notchy shifter, the solid, air-tight shutting of the doors, to the sound of the air-cooled flat-4, the smell of the heater, and on and on, is all so memorable - to this day. It has been a long time since any vehicle has been allowed to be that simple and direct.

    I think it's partly an acquired taste too. My Uncle brought home his 1961 VW Beetle from Berlin back in '74 and would drive my younger brother n me to the movies n allow us to binge on sodas n candy every night in the summer n on weekends come school days. As a result, every time we start up our Beetles , there's a humongous 😊 smile on our faces, even if we have to go get groceries for our wives😆

    Exactomundo! Goodness I wouldn't even want to drive an original 356 with how extremely rare and costly they are. I would only ever consider putting a replica at risk of destruction, despair, disappointment and death. Rat rods rule.

    Not to criticize, but you'd think that before filming something like this, she'd take a quick look around and make sure all her lights were working. That blown tail light on the left side really bugged me. ;-)

    Sadly, I had the opportunity to buy one of these for $500 at a car auction around 1980 and didn't. I hate to think what it'd be worth now if I'd simply stored it without restoring it.

    • @THE_Michael_Westen
      @THE_Michael_Westen 6 років тому

      I get your point. Almost everyone has a story like that, me included. But don't forget why those cars where that cheap - they were just old cars. No one wanted them, really. Yourself included.

      But they weren't that cheap back then. My first car was a '64 356C and it cost $4,000 in 1981. People did want them back then and used them as daily drivers here in southern California. If it was going for $500 maybe the engine was blown.

    Lovely 356..yes modern cars have lost something...harder to see out of..harder to see where the extremes of the car are...new cars are generally bumpier. Old cars were actually designed for bumpy roads. New cars are full of plastic parts and electronics making them into throw away products that wont be cherished like this in the future.

No its not going to be a GT3, but it will teach you car control and how to drive smoothly. I bought my first 356 A b nORMAL IN 1974. iT WAS NOT AS FAST AS MY 64 911, BUT IT KEPT MOM OFF OF DAD FOR ALLOWING A 15 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A 911, AND YES i BOUGHT BOTH WITH MY OWN MONEY, NO GIFT FROM THE PARENTS.

      You're correct, I don't have a lift in the garage so options to work on the car are limited, and I'm not that confident about my mechanical skills. Tend to stick to distributor cap, spark plugs etc as there's only limited trouble I can get into!

    • @benjaminbarrera214
      @benjaminbarrera214 5 років тому

      My first car was a '64 356C coupe. I learned how to change the oil, adjust valves, set the timing, synchronize the carburetors, tension the fan belt, gap and change the plugs, adjust the clutch, replace brake pads, etc., all before I had graduated from high school. This was in 1982 and all my friends owned old cars that needed work to keep them running. I'm not sure if this was tedious because that's just how it was, but driving that car was always an adventure!
