About

Derek.
Owner.

ElevenAfterNine

If you're here, you're likely passionate about Porsche. I've owned, driven, bought, and sold more models than I can count. My goal is to help you feel confident owning, buying, and enjoying your dream car.

ElevenAfterNine started because I kept having the same conversations — which one should I buy, what should I watch out for, is this one worth it at this price? The honest answers weren't always out there. So I started making them.

No hype, no affiliate pressure, no brand deals that change what I'm willing to say.

What this is about

Why ElevenAfterNine exists.

01

Honesty over hype

Every video says what I actually think — including the parts that aren't flattering. If a car has a known problem, you'll hear about it.

02

Evergreen over trending

Content that's useful whether you watch it this week or in three years. Buying guides, ownership stories, model comparisons.

03

Real ownership, not aspiration

I own these cars. I drive them. I deal with the maintenance, decisions, and tradeoffs. What I say comes from living with them.
