Cody Sells Carrera T, Switches to 981 Boxster [47:07]

• Cody, who once declared he would “drive it for life,” sold his 992 Carrera T and moved to a 981 Boxster.
• Reasons include the 992 being “too perfect, leaving little room for driver intervention” and “if you want speed, an EV suffices.”
• The “drive it for life” declaration might be a jinx—Cody is advised to avoid repeating it (laughs).

The Charm of NA Sound from the 981/991 Era [49:46]

• Even after 10 years, driving a 981 Boxster GTS still brings an involuntary grin; the 992 is fast but doesn’t elicit the same joy.
• The stock muffler produces a purer, cleaner sound; no need for sports exhaust.
• As EVs become more common, the value of naturally aspirated engines will only increase, reminiscent of the air-cooled era’s legacy.
