Stop Saving Your Porsche for Someday | Kris Clewell, Overcrest

Most Porsche owners spend years worrying about mileage, paint, value, and keeping the car perfect. Kris Clewell has put well over 100,000 miles on his 1972 Albert Blue Porsche 911T, driven it across the country, taken it down roads most owners would never consider, and he thinks we may be missing the point.

Kris is the co-founder of Overcrest, host of the Overcrest Podcast, photographer, filmmaker, writer, and one of the people whose work helped shape the way I think about old cars and road trips.

He also happens to own the same year and color Porsche as I do, a 1972 Albert Blue 911T.

What started as a conversation about those two cars turned into something much bigger.

This ended up being one of my favorite conversations I've had on ElevenAfterNine. If you own a Porsche, an old car, a motorcycle, or anything else that gives you an excuse to go somewhere, I think there is something in this episode for you.

The car isn't the point. What you do with it is.
