Happy New Year to all of the Questionable Garage Family! I appreciate all of the support through 2023, we were able to do some absolutely amazing things, grow a tremendous amount and set up for a sensational 2024. I'm grateful for all of you who take some time out of your day to stop in and watch a video, without each of you I would not have these opportunities. I hope I am successful in being somewhat entertaining, and moderately educational as we go on all the automotive adventures! We have a ton lined up for the upcoming year, progress on all the projects, with more single video cars mixed in. Working on a give-away for the first quarter of the year, and yes, Earl Leeker is going to make it to some burnout contests!
Thank you for all of these great videos! Love every one of them!
Happy New Year to you and yours as well. 🎉
What a special and iconic sports car developed in the years when cars were so mechanical and unique in contrast with today's 4-wheel PC boards. If only Porsche could resurrect the 924 and 944 with their current chassis, powertrains etc. I'm sure they can pull it off if it makes a business sense and is profitable.
The last fifteen seconds of this video makes all the hard work that you put into getting this gem looking shiny, worth it. You're a good egg and you've definitely got my respect. Here's to having a great 2024!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Jared.
A beautiful and fitting end to this part of that 944's story. Getting to see this car go from near barn find to presentable at a cars and coffee, so that a guy can give his wife her perfect Christmas gift is a wonderful thing to behold.
Now that's the reaction every car giver hopes to receive !
I agree. My wife got mad and didn't drive the car I bought her for a couple months , now I can't keep her out of it. Lol
You killed it as always. Can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make this a very special Christmas for TAMARAH! She’s loving driving it!
She's got good taste, it's a beautiful old car much better looking than a boring 911 really glad she loves it it's stunning, well done jared👍👌
Her response was priceless! I am sure that made it all worthwhile for Jared.
Wonder if the stock pistons and rods could handle boosting it? Maybe it’s a candidate one day for forged internals, ARP head studs, upgraded head gasket new fueling and Haltech ECU! 😮 💥🔥
Watching his wife be surprised, happy makes the hard work, and lack of sleep worth it 👌 ❤
You have my appreciation for the long nights, early mornings, and all the other sacrifices you've made for us, your viewers. I'm certain your friends are as well. Thank you, Jared, for showing us that awesome folks are still out here. We are not alone in doing friends a favors and not always being burned in the process. Much love to you, the Mrs. and puppies. Happy new year!!!
You're very welcome! Happy new year to you and yours!
I just lost my Mom on the early morning hours of Christmas eve, so watching something beautiful and heartwarming is what I needed. God bless you for being a good friend and God bless your friend for being a good husband and making his wife's Christmas extra special. Peace and love to you all and may this new year be better than the last! Be kind people and God bless us all! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry about your mom.
Very sorry about the loss of your Mom, and I’m honored for you to be able to find a little comfort with a video I made.
@@billyduffany3387 thank you. 🙏🏼
@@TheQuestionableGarage Thank you 🙏🏼
So sorry to hear. I lost my Dad on Christmas morning last year, so I know how you feel.
That ending made it all worth it. That 944 gets a new lease on life and two people get to enjoy it and each other's love for the car and their own. Way to go Jared!
Excellent year send off Jared! "You bought me a car?" with genuine tears, was priceless.
Jared Pink, you sir are incredible. I value your friendship and look forward to the Ferrari Truck project in 2024.
An hour long episode to end the year! I think so! Jared thanks for the great content all year and happy new year to you and your family! Keep up the grind in 2024!!
Happy new year!
wait, that was an hour? I didn't notice. :)
Im glad to see another 944 saved. I know these 900 series (924, 928 944) are not the popular models, but are still my favorite Porsche. PS: the reaction at the end, worth it!
Pretty sure those were tears of JOY!!! So for once abandoning “The List” worked out GREAT!! Honestly thank you for including that. It made me happy just seeing that reaction
Fantastic reaction, well done for a brilliant job and hats off to you and Travis
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for all the great content, happy new year!!
As a 944 guy, I love that you are looking at one! The side skirts were not a turbo option, they had lower skirts on the standard sills/rockers (I'm in the UK), they were however optional on the standard normally aspirated cars. It has a throttle response cam, which is a great cheap upgrade adds no power but the feel is so much better!
A9XXC is the registration number of my wifes 1991 S2 944. (A9XXG is my 1990 S2 and G9XXC is my 1991 S2 cabriolet :) )
Amazing story, restoration and video!! I even got a little teary eyed at the end. 🎁🎊 well done sir!
The 944 IS the Best Porsche ! These cars actually handle .... Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
The 944 isn’t even the best 944. That goes to the fc rx7 ;)
Even through TriHard, i have never felt the uphill battle fatigue come through the screen like on this project. Another mission complete with the bonus of a friend helped with a happy wife. Much continued success to Jared & family.
I see bengals plates probably cincinnati car at some point. forgeline wheels was in dayton. expensive very nice wheels.
Good on you Jared, you are always helping people out, and you sure helped a guy make his wife happy, so nothing questionable about that. G-d bless, and happy new year.
the reaction a guy wants from his wife! To hug her man not the car! Absolutely impressive, guys! Possibly the best ending I've seen on all the car video's I've watched in 10 years or more! Family and friends are everything! Just loving your video's Jared. You are now beside Derek VGG! BOTH NUMBER 1 in my book on content, general entertainment. The very best for the New Year 2024 to you! 🥰😍🥰😍💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Also loving this Porsche content and glad it’s staying in our group! ❤
This particular musical jetwash was simply THE BEST musical interlude you have EVER had on this channel...
Absolutely inspirational, Jared! I loved that segment and have watched it 3 times in succession!!!
On to the rest of the video now...!
Thanks Mark! Happy it made your day :) -Duane the Editor
@@decaharms Sure did, Mr D!!
A wise man passed this advice to me, and a less wise man is passing it along. Don't love something that can't love you back. Cars are a great blessing, and fun. Like them, and love the folks associated with them.
Merry Christmas!
The end almost got me choked up. Great work on the Porsche but even greater work on helping a friend out.
back in the 90's when I was in HS, these could be had for $1500 in awesome shape and, they were dogpoo slow(even the turbo's) but they were VERY fun to drive. Handled on rails.
Perfect ending to this one.
Gah lee, had me crying with her.
HAPPY NEW YEAR JARRED🤓🇺🇸👍
Thank you, to you as well!
Damn it …bout made an old man cry. Great vid!
Hey! Great vid as always! My fav vids are taking 80s/90s classics and bringing them back to life. The problem is RUclips has em all the time but they are time lapse and doesn't really tell the whole story, great job!
Me and my son search/watch these kind of vids every single bedtime, he is 10- goal is to find a cool retro 80/90s car and do a project like this so he and I can make memories and he will have a great first car! Btw, not a mechanic but got a PHD in RUclips engineering! Couldn't imagine this level a project without content creators like u, keep it up!!
the sound edit emulating a cavern was good stuff, props to DWAYNE the editor
Thanks for being the first to notice! Little things like that are fun to throw in :) -Duane the Editor
Thanks for another year of awesome content and positive energy. Love your channel and the projects. Looking forward to what’s next 🎉🎉
and now I am crying after seeing the end... thanks for sharing
me too
Thanks for watching
Great ending!
This video goes directly to my playlist called "special videos" that I usually put on to lift my spirits :). In this case I think you can say that the spirit of Christmas is called Jared, although I am sure that seeing Taylor's wife's reaction has already rewarded you in part, I hope that the effort you have put into that Porsche It will reward you in the form of many views and therefore financially. Happy New Year !! and thank you for brightening my day (it sounds silly, but it's true).
Even if it doesn’t ‘pay’ being able to help Travis make sure his friends car found a forever home, and helping a friend surprise his wife with her childhood dream car is payment enough.
That amp you found is for commercial audio applications. That’s an older model from crown, CTS series.
Happy to be apart of saving this beautiful car! Cheers to many years of fun.
Happy New Year everyone!🎉
Love the Porsche content!
I'm glad you put the final scene in.. I think the response would be as follows, and I put the spaces in because well, people read comments before they watch and it feels like a spoiler, even though it really isn't..
"Of COURSE I bought you a car, I love you!" (that's the unspoken ending)
Love the reaction of her receiving the car at the end. All worth it. 🎉 Happy New year everyone
Happy new year!!
That’s what a real friend will do. You have an amazing heart, God Bless You Jared!!!
A 944, very questionable indeed😂😂. Awsome story, hit me on the feels at the end😭😭😭
The echo (I assume Duane put in) when Jared looks in the glove box 😂😂😂
Jared you are a hero man!!
Her reaction was priceless!!
Happy you noticed! Whoo Hoo! -Duane the Editor
@@decaharms I got a good chuckle out of that one myself. love the editing work man. keep it up!
Her reaction at the end was worth it. Well played boys! Happy New Year!
That was SUPER COOL. Well done!
first stick shift I ever drove was a 928/944 when I was... 15? I almost lost that tiny clutch pedal in that giant footwell (insert hotdog/hallway reference here) and that made backing up a bit nerve wracking 😂
That looks like a Crown power head for a guitar amp.
Happy new years! Love to see more 944 content. Great video from the husband too. Can’t wait to get mine going soon!😊
As soon as the fan disassembly started, I was yelling nooooooooooo!!! Don’t do it! LOL.
Happy New Year!! Thank you for the increddible content! Love it!
Genuinely like that, the wheels are spot on, can’t beat a 90’s Clifford sticker too. Got me looking but most in uk are rust buckets
Great video! When you were starting to pull that fan apart, I was like shouting “Dude, don’t!”. Lived that pain before, just blow out with compressed air, and stick it back in and call it good, it was working afterall😂
Old specialized plastic/electrical parts never cooperate on tight deadlines or public holidays, but you still absolutely made that lady’s day…
My son bought an abandoned red '86 944 for $500 as his first car a year before he got his license in 2007 and we spent a year together working on it as a father/son project putting it into absolutely beautiful daily driver condition. I spent about $2000 on a new clutch, new just about every engine sensor, new timing belt, injector cleaning, exhaust cracks weld up, shifter rebuild, some modest body work, full paint job, reseating windshield and hatch, seat reupholster, recovered headliner, dying carpets, new shocks all around, and probably a bunch of stuff I've forgotten. We did all the work ourselves and I wouldn't trade that time for anything. I think it was a great choice for a first car: barely 135HP so not really fast, built like a tank, and only one extra seat for hauling around additional teenage stupidity but looks great, handles like a dream and according to him, "It was the coolest car at school, even cooler than the rich kids with brand new Mustangs."
Mr Questionable, Happy New Year, that was not a Questionable choice,that was very generous and thoughtful and loving , you made Tamara overall very happy to come to tears you big hearted softy, regards Rob
Nice looking forward to the 944 building
Hey Jared, hope you get to see this. Thank-you man. Your videos are always entertaining and I will do my best to watch them (even if time doesn't permit it on release day).
Your projects are always enjoyable, usually diverse, but also there is a more "humble" element to many. 3 billion horsepower in a dedicated burnout car can be awesome, but as an example, this needing a mop and basic mechanical work reminds me of stuff I've done pre having children, mortgage etc and it brings back some awesome memories of awesome (to me) cars I've come acoss, worked on, driven or just enjoyed learning about.
Thankyou for your and the production team's hard work. Long may it continue
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate the support a ton.
I actually have a 86 944 turbo. Super cool to see you get a car that I Have. I’m just up the road if you ever need a hand wouldn’t mind swing by to help out! Love the videos buddy keep it up
Man i love 944s i wanna work on one that i4 looks so easy to play with!
her response in the end was totally worth it !!!!!.
Happy New Year and thank you for all the happiness and joy you bring with your videos
Happy new year Jared. I'm very happy to see you succeed on your own. Good on ya!
I almost teared up when she raised that door and that look she had on her face. True car lady! Happy new year!
Happy New Year Jared to you and your family. That reveal at the end made it all worth it!
Happy New Year
When I heard the phrase " a couple big cans" knew she was going to be a beauty. Nice job Derek!
I love all the car content, but that reaction at the end was something special. Excellent work, Jared; looking forward to more in 2024, which I guess it already is as I write this, so HAPPY NEW YEAR!
So stoked you added some of the reveal! You did a great job with that Volksaudorsche!
I own a 1987 944 original owner 395000 MI have only changed two clutches and replace the head gasket..... still has the original Muffler and runs like it was new
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thanks for getting reaction! That was great!
Jared, you are an inspiration to all of us!!!!!! Thank you!
Seeing her reaction was worth every second!!! AWESOME video and Christmas present!
Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos! 👍
So true and also you become part of the story when you put it back on the road!
In last video I wondered who's this 944 that was in background, here's answer. Surprise (and long) special video is indeed a very good video.
Happy New Year ! Great video and ending ! I like watching your videos. It gives me inspiration to finish my own projects.
You can do it!
The ending made it 100% worthwhile. Great job man!
That was so kind and awesome Jared! Great way to end and start the year by spreading kindness! Happy new year! 🎉🎉
Thanks! You too!
Jared, your dedication, character, knowledge, and respect keeps us all coming. Thank YOU for an awesome year of content!!
I do want to see you get into some Cummins turbo diesel stuff 😈 it will grow the channel and give you the opportunity to have more tow pigs than just the shiny new gmc and Johnny rev which is pretty questionable lol
Thank you, and happy new year
Great way to start the New Year! I'm never gonna own one of these but the knowledge Jared dropped is invaluable!
My very first Porsche was a black 944. It was the mid 80's in SoCal and I was 25 years old. The only problem was i could only fit three hot chicks in it at a time. Chicks were smaller then. Thank you for your time and all the memories.
I like that. " chicks were smaller then " . Bloody brilliant 😂 Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Those wheels absolutely make that car. Man it's lite! Good job saving it.
The crown unit in the trunk is a stereo amplifier but not designed for automotive use as Jared suspected. I use one in my home theater to run my subwoofers.
Happy new year! Hope we can see the van you revived with Derek again still looking forward to see that!
The ending made it all worth while. Thanks for another awesome video.
Good job, guys. Nice gift.
The end of the story is what Christmas is all about! Great job!
Wow perfect ending. A material object is meaningless without a person who loves it. Its ins good home.
Lol, i spent the first 20 min yelling " the alarm probably had an immobilizer"
Oh, and for those stickers, you need "Rapid Remover - Adhesive Remover". It's citrus based. You just need to give it a minute or so to work, and it will make those jobs a LOT easier. I'm am not affiliated with this product.
Thanks for the tips!
That ending makes it all worth it. 😃😃😃. Great job Gared.
Just love it!!!
What a car what an episode what an ending!!
Thanks for making this content for us.
The perfect reaction to a great little project 🤙 hope you all had a lovely Xmas and new year 🎉 stay safe and keep wrenching
Happy holidays!
Awesome stuff Jared, I hope Santa rewarded you for being an unquestionable G.C. ( Kiwi slang for very, very, very awesome fella !! ) And once again, the car world and car guys like Travis are never far away from an awesome story and coming together of wonderful people !! Have a fantastic New Year & thank you for always giving a real world view of things . . . Love your channel and all that you do !! Cheers Grant
Happy holidays!
at 51:00 when you were listing all the things that needed fixing, I was thinking "This guy is a glutton for punishment!"
then you said: "Porsches are FUN!"
Wow! Hope she thinks so...
That’s a pretty nice pro av power amp
This car is soooo nostalgic. Perfect Christmas gift. I approve.
Best part is when she opened the garage door and said you bought me a car...she was so genially happy! 👍
