Check out this Porsche 911 Gt3 RS! Sigh – as a longtime air-cooled 911 owner, I’ve gotten pretty good at shrugging off new 911s that are outside my budget. But this one has me dreamin’ hard. And you know why?? It’s because these photos show the car in its true element. There’s something about seeing the world in a sports car. Fun cars are fun dammit – it’s as simple/timeless concept!

But what’s not simple for me to get my head around – is how today’s general population doesn’t crave fun life experiences in great cars anymore. Straight up – when I look around, I see a world that doesn’t vibe like it used to. I see a world transitioning from the nuances of driving, to disengagement of mobility. People existing, not living. Accepting FAR too many rules & regulations. And blindly consuming… not radiating. And the phone fused to everyone’s hand?? AKA – that constant hypnotizing glow of a screen over your face?? It stole yall’s charisma baby!

They don’t all have to be Porsches. 

A 911 is a winning recipe. But FUN doesn’t have a cost barrier. You can have the time of your life in a 20th-century Miata. Or a 160hp Civic hatchback screaming in VTEC. Contrary to modern belief, it’s not about 0-60 or any of that numerical nonsense – it’s about freedom, connection, and good auras. Honestly, the less strings you attach to that – the better! And that’s what the herd is missing entirely.

God’s given us this precious gift called LIFE.  

And pardon my bluntness, but I don’t think we’re intended to live it with a virtual condom on. We’re supposed to FEEL ALIVE in life. We’ve been given a 3-dimensional world – ripe with passion, thrills, landscapes, & open-ended adventure. But instead – folks choose a golden Tesla queef without a steering wheel?! Ooof.

Sidenote: in the Bible… 

The number 3 symbolizes divine perfection, completeness, and fulfillment. So is it coincidence the best cars come with 3 pedals?? Yeah-yeah I know the GT3 RS is dual-clutch lol – I kid. But in the grand scheme of mobility: Convenience & autonomy are shit consolation prizes to real experiences. Stop buying this sanitized future-boy narrative they’re sellin’. Put some old-school wind in your hair! And come to terms with the fact that: The way things are going, the best cars have likely already been made. The kind where…

You own the car, it doesn’t own you. And you drive the car, it doesn’t drive you. Those are actually 2 pretty solid automotive commandments right there. And that’s particularly why Tyler Zaklukiewicz’s (just like it sounds lol) Porsche 911/991.1 GT3 RS inspired me. It’s more the owner than the car to be honest.

Tyler is the kind of Porsche owner that a Porsche deserves…

He bought this Porsche GT3 RS to see the country (with his fiancé) through the windshield of an iconic sports car. The kind of trips where the car is a main character in the story. It’s racked-up an eyebrow-raising number of miles – from the East Coast to the West Coast… North to South. Those kinds of miles (and potential hazards) would make a lot of GT3 RS owners squirm, but Tyler doesn’t stress the odometer, because understands the journey is the whole point. It’s not A-to-B… it’s all the great space in-between! Make the most of it! One day you’ll wish you had.
