Your Porsche Is Dying In The Garage (And You're Helping It)

We think we’re protecting our Porsches by keeping them tucked away, but we might actually be accelerating their demise. In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I’m joined by Porsche Master Mechanic Joe Finkel from FCP Euro to debunk the myths of "garage queen" ownership.

From the "stasis" trap of battery maintainers to the hidden dangers of winter idling, we break down exactly why these cars need to be exercised—and how to do it without causing catastrophic engine damage.

In this episode, we cover:

The Battery Myth: Why "floating" your battery might be killing the plates.
The "B-Word": Does Bore Scoring actually affect the 997.2 and 991 generations?
Cold Start Danger: Why idling in your driveway is the worst thing you can do for your cylinder walls.
The 194° Rule: The specific temperature you MUST see before driving hard.
The "Secret Sauce": Joe’s specific oil and additive cocktail to keep bore scoring at bay.
