Throttlecast Session 6 - The inside scoop on the Porsche Dakar and GT3RS allocations and ADMs

12/8/2022
In this episode... we lose Shadow Dog. Apparently, since we don't advertise yet, we didn't generate any income to invest in some equipment for one of our Throttle Doggies. So Doc Dog and Race Dog carried the torch to talk about our favorite brand... Porsches! Specifically why insurance may be super high on the Dakar. Why GT3RS may not be able to be specified in PTS colors. And why Doc Dog may be stalking anyone who has a Mexico Blue 992 GT3RS... to Bed Bath and Beyond... because there's so much Frunk space. Anyways, tune in for more Porsche goodness!
