I didn't buy my 911 to look cool, project an image, or fit in with the Porsche crowd. I bought it because the first time I drove a 911, it completely changed how I felt about driving. I fell in love with the experience. And that's exactly why I created TheWasteGate. This channel isn't a Porsche commercial. It's about the TOTAL Porsche ownership experience — the cars, the culture, the community, the highs, the lows, the unexpected expenses, the incredible drives, and everything in between. Talking about a $4,000 repair isn't being negative. Saying that a Porsche can be expensive to maintain isn't being negative. It's information. Because the goal isn't to convince you to buy a Porsche. The goal is to help you understand what you're actually buying. I love Porsche. I love the cars. I love the experience. But I don't do Porsche commercials. Unless, of course, somebody writes me a really long check. 😂 Welcome to TheWasteGate. Now you know. Grab your keys. Turn the ignition. Step on the gas.

I’m using myself as the example because this behavior — this exact behavior — is way more common than people admit. I have a 992 Turbo. I owe $70K on it. The dealer offered me $185K… and suddenly I’m trying to justify a $340,000 Turbo S like it’s a normal decision. This video isn’t just about cars — it’s about how easy it is to talk yourself into terrible financial decisions with zero logic, zero planning, and a whole lot of ego.

You budget for tires. You even budget for scheduled maintenance. But nobody tells you about the random Friday that turns into a $4,000 conversation. After losing a rear intake trim piece on my 992 Porsche 911 Turbo, I found myself asking questions I never expected. Not just about repair costs, but about resale value, emotional attachment, and why a seemingly small piece of plastic could completely change the way I felt about driving my dream car. In this episode of TheWasteGate, I talk about the side of Porsche ownership that rarely gets discussed: The hidden costs beyond scheduled maintenance Why small repairs can become major financial decisions The emotional impact of damaging a car you truly love How one issue can quickly snowball into several The difference between owning a Porsche... and preserving one This isn't a video about complaining. It's about understanding what ownership really looks like after the excitement of buying the car wears off. If you're thinking about buying a Porsche—or already own one—this is a conversation worth having. Because the most expensive part of Porsche ownership isn't always the repair... sometimes it's what happens in your head. If you've ever felt this way about a car, let me know in the comments. What's the repair, scratch, dent, or unexpected expense that hit you harder than it should have?
