Drifting: What is “Porsche Parade”? By John Hamilton, Region President
P
arade is the “big” Porsche Club event of the year: our annual national convention. Parade has a potpourri of activities, and club members from all across North America come together for this once-a-year extravaganza to participate in a week of competitive events, to socialize and enjoy their cars, with seminars and tours adding to the event’s variety. For many club members, Parade is their big vacation for the year. It provides them with an opportunity to see new parts of the country as well as to visit with PCA friends that they only see once a year, at Parade! This year the Porsche Parade is being held at Monterey, California. Many of us will be traveling to Monterey by car or plane to attend this fun event. One group of seven couples has even rented a car carrier to bring their cars to and from Parade while they fly out! As for us, we look forward to the 2-½ day drive, where we’ll explore new roads and towns along the way. I’m sure we’ll be traveling a bit on Route 66, part of our nation’s highway history. Why do we go? • To really get away from our routines • To explore our country • To see the incredible collection of Porsches that come from all over the country (including Alaska) every year • To enjoy the driving tours once we get there (James Dean’s last route is one of them) • To visit with our friends that we’ve met at previous Parades, including members of the Porsche family from Germany! This one should be special, since there are probably more Porsches in California than any other state. Who knows? Even Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld may show up! To find out more, go to http://parade2014.pca.org/ Registration opens on April 1. We’d love to have you join us!

Mav of the Month Sometimes volunteers don’t wait for a position to open in the club; they just create one. Such is the case with this month’s Mav of the Month. Stephanie Ho has been a regular attendee at our Maverick Monthly Socials for more than the past year. She noticed that there was a need to make them more inviting to our new members. So instead of just suggesting that “someone else” start contacting new members to invite them, Stephanie took it upon herself to help create the new member welcoming committee and drive the program to do emails and phone calls to our new members each month, to personally invite them to our monthly social events. The results speak for themselves: record-setting attendance at the Monthly Socials AND immediate interaction for our new members with the club. So Stephanie: this one’s for you. Congratulations and THANK YOU for driving a program that didn’t even exist a year ago. You’ve made many, many new members feel welcome into their club, and driven INCLUSION to a new high. Enjoy your gift card to the Silver Fox restaurant!

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor
I
t officially became Spring a couple of weeks ago, and not a minute too soon. It has been a cold winter, and it’s time to get out for some driving events.
Monterey, California, promises to sell out pretty quickly. The West Coast Parades draw some of the rarest Porsches in the country, and the weather on the Monterey Peninsula in June is nearly perfect. For more info, go to parade2014.pca.org.
April is when the driving season begins in earnest. The third Drivers’ Ed event takes place on the weekend of April 12 and 13, and another Sunday Drive (although this time on a Saturday) promises a fun tour to Muenster for their annual Germanfest. What better place to show up in a Porsche?
Closer to home and closer in time (May 2-4) is the second annual Carrera of the Americas Club Race, taking place at the Circuit of the Americas, southeast of Austin. Once again, Maverick Region has teamed up with Hill Country (Austin) and Lone Star (Houston) Regions to put on a PCA Club Race at one of the premier racing facilities in North America.
By the time you read this, registration for the Porsche Parade will have opened (April 1). If you plan to go, I hope you have already registered, because this one, in
Our own Don Sebert is Volunteer Coordinator for this year’s COTA event. It takes lots of volunteers to put on a Club Race, and volunteering is an easy way to get
close to the action. To see what positions are available and to sign up, visit register.pca.org. But if classic European cars are more your thing, longtime Maverick Richard Cross reminds us that the 30th All British and European Car Day, dyslexically referred to as ABCDE, celebrates 90 years of the MG and the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion. It takes place on Sunday, May 4 at Dryfuss Club Point in White Rock Lake Park. For more info visit www.allbritishcarday. com. There will be at least one Porsche there, right Richard? Finally, please welcome new advertiser Stuart’s Paint and Body. Many of you are already familiar with Stuart’s work, and we are pleased that he is helping to support Slipstream. Read on!

Gimme a Minute: March Board Meeting By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary
T
he meeting began at 7:06pm. President John Hamilton reported for several Chairs who were MIA. Social Chair Tracy Robertson reported that a group, including husband David and Charlie Davis, are working on Flickr and alternate ways to display photos online. Membership Chairs Tom and Susan Froehlich report that we hit an all-time membership high at 1,419 primary members, thanks to calling and emailing efforts, especially by Stephanie Ho. Monthly Dinner Social Chair Paul Ramos said that Uncle Julio’s was a huge success and is looking forward to the March event at Tolbert’s Restaurant in Grapevine. Charity Chair Chris Hamilton wanted to check to make sure the monies were sent to the Hope Shelter for Founders’ Day, the Holiday Party, etc. Treasurer Jim Falgout is working on it. John then took off all his other hats and reported that the Velocity Channel will be showing a special feature about the Fifty Years of the 911. He also passed along information regarding the Street Survival Course, now sanctioned and encouraged by PCA National. We’ll look to have an event soon, once we find a chairperson. The Club Race at Circuit of the Americas is definitely happening. Don Sebert has agreed to be our volunteer coordinator, and he asked that anyone who is interested in volunteering can register at register.pca.org. John had some bad news to share. When we first started the Macan
6 April
raffle, the estimated retail value of the vehicle was considerably less than it is in actuality. Even after Autobahn Porsche reduced the price and taxes for us, we ended up taking a loss on the raffle overall. We will uphold the outcome, but unfortunately have nothing to send to charity afterwards. It was disappointing, but unavoidable, despite our best efforts. Editor Carey Spreen thanked Linda Bambina for her tremendous help getting Slipstream out so early, even though February was a short month. He will be increasing the number of printed issues, since membership keeps going up. He also brought a portable theater to show us the premiere episode of “The Car Guy” show, featuring our February DE event. Linda Bambina mentioned another glitch with Slipstream this month involving the database. She worked with Andy Mears to find solutions around it and ended up cleaning up the database of long-gone advertisers and unpaid “subscribers.” She also mentioned that April 1 is the opening day for the Monterey Porsche Parade! Concours Chair Andy Kay is working on May at Mayo’s and is looking for help to set up before the event. He convinced Ed Mayo to write something about the Early 911S group, similar to recent write-ups about 928 and 356 clubs. He is encouraging the 928 club to embrace PCA and Maverick Region. Michael Vatter has come to several meetings recently, and has agreed to have his company sponsor next year’s All Member Party. We were all floored and grateful for his generosity!
March 5, 2014 Treasurer Jim Falgout reported we are in good financial status with ~$70K in the bank. New Guest Attendee Richard Salomon from Tyler was there. He shared his thanks for Slipstream keeping him in touch. He has some great east Texas drive ideas that he will be sharing with John Harvey. He attends a Cars & Coffee in Tyler and will invite other board members to go next time. Rally Chair Don Sebert has scheduled a rally for mid-July that will start early in the morning and finish at a lunch location to avoid the heat. Details TBD. Sunday Drive Co-Chair Brendan Eagan mentioned that the March Sunday Drive, nicknamed the Chicken Run, will depart from Duncanville and end up at Babe’s in Cedar Hill. They have been providing some printed maps showing major turns to keep people from getting lost. On Saturday, April 26, they’ll tour from Lewisville to Muenster for Germanfest. Lederhosen is optional. They are grooming leaders for smaller drive groups to help everyone arrive safely at speeds they like. Drivers’ Education Chair Chris Tabor said the first event of the year was a great success, with strong financials coming from the event, despite some extra expenses for headset cords and cases. We’ll have two events at Eagles Canyon this year. The April DE is on the 3.1mile course at MotorSport Ranch. He received positive feedback from February. Sponsorship Chair Daren Kirbo is working with sponsors to possibly include water at events. Our website is up to date. Andy Kay mentioned he thought the
Green group parking at the Feb event was a great idea. We’ll do the same at the March event the following weekend. He’s working on a “Taste of the Track” event. AX/TT Chair Travis Howard announced that Mayo Performance is again sponsoring the Autocross series. Sunday, March 2 was the first event of the year, and despite the cold, nearly 30 attended. The event was finished by 12:30 as the temp dropped to 22° with sleet and freezing rain. The next event will be the May 18 AX school and then an Autocross on May 25. DE Registrar Wendy Shoffit mentioned changing the DE stickers slightly, which seemed to be an improvement. She asked if we should continue the lanyard and plastic pouch packets, which everyone was in agreement about. John Hamilton last announced Maverick of the Month, Stephanie Ho. Congratulations! Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM.

Five-Speed Chatter: Krönung Einer König: “Crowning of a King” By Ash Seidl-Staley
Photos by the Author
M
y beautiful 2.0L 914 turns 40 this year, and it is still running strong! Keeping up with the oil changes, cleaning the air and fuel delivery components, and smart driving has greatly increased the life expectancy of this car. I truly believe I will have this car (or at least a 914) for the rest of my life, and apparently I am not alone. I recently had a chance to look back on some articles produced in the 1970s (my Grandpa’s old stash of Porsche Panorama, Motor Trend, and Road and Track magazines), and was delighted to see that the car was predicted to be reliable and long-lived even back then. In a small dealer pamphlet that I found tucked between some pages, I learned that the base 914s coming off of the line were stickered at reasonable $3,500 and came with a 1.7L Volkswagen-built flat four engine. I also learned that the first set of cars built in 1969 came in just two varieties: the 914/4, and the slightly bigger and more expensive 914/6, which originally used the 2.0L flat six engine previously found in the ‘69 911T. Despite some increases in
engine capacity and a few dimensional changes, the 914s stayed relatively unchanged throughout their entire production up to 1976. Amazingly, many 914s have survived the competitive world of automobile manufacturing and have stayed driving on the highways. Better yet, many more 914s are given a chance at a new life and are being restored in garages and shops all across America. Whether one is a buyer or a restorer, the drawing factor of these little cars will always be their mechanical reliability, and the fact that they can be customized from head to toe. With a little ingenuity almost any 911 engine Porsche has produced can be squeezed into the uniquely located engine bay. Internet sites with classifieds sections and parts listing are flooded with 914 flared fenders, slant nose packages, and front and rear spoilers that can be purchased and mixed/matched for one’s own aesthetic and aerodynamic preferences. I have even read about people who are swapping out the small VW engines for larger more powerful Chevy V8 and Subaru flat engines -- talk about a jet powered go-cart! Porsche also tinkered with the 914 during production. They tweaked the styling lines of the 914/6

and GTs each year, and in 1969 even fitted a couple 914s with a 908 flat eight racing engine. One of the most disappointing scrapped projects relating to the 914 was the heartbreaking rise and fall of the 916. In 1972 this Porsche was produced with a 2.4L engine, and its flared fender bodywork was borrowed from a racing 914/6 GT.
my chances of restoring to Concours level are well beyond my budget. I believe a 914 should be crowned as a Porsche; it is everything a Porsche is. It is stylish, fast, agile, and extremely fun to drive! What more does a 914 need? The correct engine code numbers?
The 916 was supposed to be the super luxurious version of the 914. It came with a cassette player, real leather interior, smooth bodylines, and beefier engine, but with a price of $14,000-$15,000 (close to the base 911of the time), no one took a bite. Unfortunately only one US Spec 916 officially made it to the states; it was purchased by Peter Gregg of Brumos Porsche+Audi in Florida. I wonder where it is now . . . .
Hail to the King, baby!
Hood marked out with template Another shocking bit of information I gathered is that none of the 914s that came from VW’s Wolfsburg or Porsche’s Zuffenhausen came with a Porsche crest installed on the front hood. Because the cars didn’t come with one originally, slapping a crest on a 914 sparks up controversy between true Porsche Gear Heads. It’s funny; I have found, through personal discussions and forum surfing, that the people opposed to adding the crest are not just the “original only” guys, they are the same people who wouldn’t accept the 914 as a Porsche in the first place. I understand and sympathize with what the antique “all original” guys are saying, and if my car was in pristine condition (like the one in the December 2013 edition of Panorama) I probably wouldn’t have installed the crest. But my car is not pristine, it has miles, rust, missing parts, and a little customization from previous owners -- so much so that
For those that want to place a crest on a 914 or fix/ replace another model’s crest, the steps of installation are quite simple. PelicanParts.com provides a kit with everything you might need to replace or install your new crest. For my car I had to measure out the positioning of the crest and mark my measurements with painters tape. With a template, which is downloadable, I marked where I was going to drill out the two holes for the prongs on the back of the crest. I started my incision with a small drill bit and worked my way up to the bigger size that led to the final fitting. To prevent rust, I applied a little touch-up paint to my newly-drilled holes and waited for it to dry before I placed the crest on the hood. To keep the crest in place, it is fastened with two end caps (which look like nuts) that just thread themselves onto the prongs on the underside of the hood. When the seal is snug around the crest, and the emblem firmly situated on the hood, your work is done. The first few glances of the car made me feel weird. It was mildly related to buyer’s remorse, but nowhere near as strong. Having the crest took a week or so to get used to, but now I can’t imagine what the car’s hood would look like without it. The 914 is a significant part of Porsche History, not to mention the predecessor of the Boxster, Cayman, and the spectacular 918; it deserves to be displayed and crowned, like its contemporaries, as a King! 11
Garage Glimpses: The Best of Both Worlds By Linda Bambina, Region PR Chair

ndy and Adrienne Kay moved 11 times in their first 22 years of marriage. In each home, Adrienne redecorated the house, while Andy fixed up the garage. It all started in Arlington in 1986. Andy just wanted a clean garage floor, but you know how that goes. The project took on a life of its own: epoxy floor, freshly painted walls, new lighting, and then, they moved! Flower Mound got all that plus track lighting. A TV was
Andy at work on his Venice Blue Metallic 1987 928S4 After seven garage overhauls, Andy wasn’t anxious to remodel for the next homeowner, so when they moved to Kennedale . . . he waited. Well, after six years, the wait is over! Adrienne says they’re not moving – ever! Good thing, because Kennedale has its own Man Cave adjacent to the three-car garage.
Andy’s Guards Red 1979 911SC faces an array of Griot’s cleaning products added in Sugarland, and Kansas City got a 10-ft Detailers bench. Des Moines even had a drain for indoor car washing. The best garage was in Arizona with a Griot’s theme. The last home, Katy, had a detached garage with air conditioning and wall-to-wall carpeting!
The Man Cave -- or is it the Garage Antechamber? 12 April
Andy plans to add air conditioning, flat screen TVs, Martin Logan speakers, Kobalt cabinetry, new flooring, recessed lighting, and a detailer’s bench with a refrigerator . . . seems like deja vu! Adrienne has had contractors remodeling Kennedale since mid-February. Her garage contribution is to trade in her Audi A6 for a mid-engine Cayman. That should fit nicely between Andy’s front-engine 928S4 and his rear-engine 911SC!

Commentary from the Left Seat: The Great Texas BBQ Tour, Part I By Robert L. Turner Editor’s Note: Rob Turner is author of The Driver, a Marc Lange series of novels (available through Amazon).
C
ars, food, and Rock & Roll. Kinda sounds like a song from the Clash or the Sex Pistols. Music history is rife with the connection: Beach Boys, Sammy Hagar, Rush, and even Queen got into the act (“I’m in Love with my Car”). There’s a connection between cars and food. Really? You have to ask? Drive-Thrus, Drive-Ins, and the ubiquitous cup-holders in both front and back seats say a lot! Man, we are a mobile foodconsumption society. If we Americans can eat it, drink it, or listen to it, we do it in our automobiles. So that got me thinking -- okay, not thinking too hard, but at least engaging a few brain cells -- that a road trip was in order. Two of the ingredients for the road trip were BBQ, and Austin’s South By Southwest (SXSW) music festival; the third one was my 2006 Cayman S. Needing a passenger (notice I did not say co-driver), my older son Nick filled the bill. He was on Spring Break from college, so he was pressed into service as my partner-in-crime. No surprise to me, I did not have to push too hard. The tempting combination of BBQ, loud music and a few days in Austin were all it took. He did not even pester me to drive the CS, probably because he still hasn’t learned how to
14 April
drive a stick. Dangling keys in front of him? Not interested. The lure of being the cool dude in a Porsche hasn’t caught fire. Then again, he’s six-foot-seven-inches tall and finds it difficult to fit in the driver’s seat comfortably. He’s tried, but it’s hard to drive with his knees splayed on either side of the wheel, pressing into the dash. We Texans are passionate about our BBQ. But, let’s face it, we tend to be passionate about most things in this great state. We love our Q as much as the folks in Kansas City, Memphis or the Carolinas. KC may be about the ribs, Memphis about their meat rubs, and the Carolinas about the difference in sauces, but here in Central Texas, it’s ALL about the brisket. Heck, there’s even a great debate about sauce vs no sauce (drawing out fierce arguments along the lines of whether or not to cook Chili with or without beans). Like I said, we tend to be passionate bunch. Legend has it that the best brisket in the state is located in the Austin area. Our very destination. And music? Well Austin is said to be the live music capital of the world. And during SXSW, maybe even the galaxy. Two thousand bands in six days! Are we crazy? No. This is Austin after all. Every live-music venue in town is booked, solid. Bands stack on top of each other, a new band every hour, on the hour. Bands line up outside a club, instruments out of cases, ready to take the stage. Name your favorite music! Rock? Does a 911 have a flat-six motor?
Hip-Hop? More than you can shake a stick at! Country and Western? If two-stepping is your thang, you’ve got it. Norwegian Speed metal? Hmmm, maybe a band or two. There’s even a sprinkling of classical and jazz. Every musical base is covered. The food trucks, not wanting to be left out, get in on the frenzy, too. They have bands packed onto tiny stages, with a few chairs and tables crowded around their trucks for good measure. I think that if people had cleaned out their garages and didn’t mind strangers trekking in to use their restrooms, they’d be roped into letting bands perform there too. I downloaded the SXSW and Texas Monthly BBQ apps onto my iPhone and got ready for the trip. The Cayman S had fresh oil and fluids, everything topped up and checked out; even the lug nuts were torqued correctly. All I had to do was gas up. Nick and I packed light, as we’d be staying at a friend’s house and didn’t need dress clothes for BBQ and Rock & Roll. Besides, we’d have looked out of place, and my son would have disowned me. The CS is perfect for such a trip, as its two large trunks swallowed our gear; my stuff in the back trunk, Nick’s in the front. We piled in and headed south. Normally I like to stay off Interstate 35, as it’s one crazy stretch of road, but we got a late start and needed to get to Taylor, about twenty-nine miles NE of Austin, before it got too late. The CS is a capable highway cruiser. Stock HP is 295, but I’ve done a handful of mods to bump the power up a bit: a
racier exhaust, a motorsport intake and an under-drive pulley gives the car a spot over 300 HP. It has plenty of power to pass lumbering trucks or get clear of tightly-packed traffic. At highway speeds it’s comfortable and not that loud either, since I removed the previous race exhaust. I must admit I loved the sound of that race exhaust, at the track. The other 99% of the time? Not so much. You had to shout to
your passenger to be heard and playing music? Forgetaboutit! One more salient feature about driving the CS -- and, for that matter, the current crop of Porsches -- the A/C system is awesome. Increase the fan speed a couple of clicks and presto, the cabin cools off. Amazing. Especially amazing, as I fondly recall the A/C system on my old 930. It blew a tiny whiff
Hoosier R7, A7, Race Slicks, H2O, and Vintage in stock
of faintly cool breeze on a day when the ambient temperature was already in the low 70s. Anything hotter than that? Sweat city. So we set the Satnav, cranked the A/C, put on some music from a band that I had never heard of (but were playing at SXSW), and pointed the car south. Next month, we come face to face with a mountain of smoky BBQ.

I Get Around: O Roseanna
Courtesy High Gear, the Rocky Mountain Region Newsletter
By Dick Badler
J
ane: And now, with tonight’s commentary, here’s Roseanne Rosannadanna. Roseanne: Thanks, Jane.
A Richard Feder, from Ft. Lee, N.J., writes to say, “Hey, Roseanne, what’s with this cone incident on the George Washington Bridge? I live in Ft. Lee. In fact, I can see the bridge from my apartment. And I can say it’s bumper-to-bumper every morning, noon and night. Sometimes all morning, noon and night. You don’t need to close a lane in order to create a traffic jam. And you certainly don’t need traffic cones to do it. You just wake up in the morning, and it happens, like the sun rising in the east. “And now, my neighbors and I are enduring all these tourists, these rubberneckers, these souvenir hunters, these TV news crews, these subversive political animals, pouring into our nice, bucolic burg, all looking for evidence that Chris Christie was here. “What can we do?” Hey, Richard, who told you to live in Ft. Lee? It’s a free country, isn’t it? You can live anywhere you want. Why there? Why do people who live near airports complain about the air traffic? Why do people who live near bridges complain about the car and bus and truck traffic? And here’s something to ponder. Do you know which came first? Do you have any idea what your nice, high-rise apartment with the view of the bridge was,
20 April
before your town was paved over, to make way for progress? Here’s what it was: an amusement park! Yeah! And not just any amusement park. It was Palisades Park. And there was even a hit song about it. Down at Palisades Park. And you probably thought the song was sung by Lou Christie, didn’t you? Who you think is a long-lost relative of your current sitting governor? Now, that would be real poetic justice, wouldn’t it? But it’s not true. It was sung by Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon. How’s that for irony, Mr. Feder? No, Mr. Feder, your real problem is the Coneheads. That’s right, Mr. Feder, people who steal cones and set them up in parking lots, creating all sorts of zigs and zags, totally ignoring parking spots and arrows and entries and exits. These are the people you really should be worried about. Because, do you know what these people do with their cones, after they’ve set them up in weird patterns in parking lots? They put them on their heads. And then they walk around, talking like robots, and saying they’re from France. I’m not kidding, Mr. Feder. It’s scary. They can’t help it. And neither can our Immigration and Naturalization Service. Because, you see, they’re not from France at all. They don’t speak French. And they’re not from here either, because they don’t speak American. They don’t belong here. There’s your issue, Mr. Feder. There’s a real issue for you. Now, here’s the kicker for you, Mr. Feder. Do you have any idea
what the Coneheads did, before your nice, bucolic high-rise apartment in the sky was created? That’s right, they set up their cones in the Palisades Park parking lot, on days when the amusement park was closed. Which is why they’re back, storming around your town and your bridge. Mr. Feder, you need to have mercy on these souls. They’re lost. Lost. Because they can’t find their way home. First they put up a parking lot. Then the city was gone. Can you blame them? But there’s more. Coneheads drive fast cars. And they drive cars fast. And their cars all have sunroofs. And the sunroofs are always open. So their cones can have headroom. Do you drive fast, Mr. Feder? I bet you drive something like a beater Corolla. Which is good for one thing: sitting in traffic on the George Washington Bridge. I want to walk up to you and knock on the window and say, hey, mister, I, Roseanne Rosannadanna, am walking beside you. And I’m keeping up. Don’t you think you can go a little faster? I want to get to where I’m going before I’m too old to know I got there. I walk up to Corvette owners, and I say, hey, stud, where are you going? I walk up to Porsche owners, and I say, hey, wo gehst du hin? I don’t say, hey, ou allez vous. They’re not from France, Mr. Feder. That should be a clue for you. Jane: That’s enough! Enough! Roseanne, you, madam, are out of time. And you’re out of mind. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Maverick Monthly Social: Mavericks Put the “Happy” in Happy Hour By Michael Manley
Photos by Stephanie Ho
Y
eah, I know. We officially changed the name to “Maverick Monthly Social,” but it’s still Happy Hour to me. We had 52 happy Porsche owners attending February’s event at Uncle Julio’s in North Dallas. A great turnout! I think we taxed the Uncle’s staff to the max.
I guess that’s what impresses me most about the club -- happy people. Since Barbie and I transferred to the Maverick Region from Houston last year, we’ve been impressed by the great folks that we have met at each event. In fact, there are so many friendly people that we can’t remember all their names. I guess that’ll come with time and attending more events. Maybe we need a mug book to help us out.
Jerry and Myra Sutton with Brenda and Jim Thompson They all agreed that we had the edge in hospitality. One of those newbies was Walter Otstott. He said that, while he thinks we are a little ahead of the Audi group, he had to add that they threw him a birthday party at Capitol Grille with about 20 people in attendance. Audi also furnished five cars to test drive,
Maverick Social Ladies: Brenda Thompson, Barbara Kauffman, Christy Stroessner, Stephanie Ho, Gayla Sullivan, Veronica Ramos, Christi Harris, Myra Sutton We had some new members come to the Social this month. Three were also members of the Audi club.

including an R8. Wow. Just for your information, my birthday is in September, and I’m dying to drive a 918. Just sayin’. Walter is also a member of the Ferrari club, and says we still have a little work to do. Walter also wanted me to pass along info on what sounds like a fun meet. The first Saturday of each month, Exotics on the Rocks is held at The Back Nine in Addison. It starts at noon and goes until
everyone leaves. All exotics are welcome, including all Porsches. There are also prizes for the best car. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the next Happy Hour -- I mean Monthly Social -- at Trinity Hall Irish Pub and Restaurant on Mockingbird Lane, on April 17. If you see us, say hi, and say your name really s-l-o-w-l-y. Maybe we’ll remember it this time.

Š2013 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. Porsche recommends four winter tires when driving in cold, snowy, or slippery conditions.
Simultaneously breaks new ground, while clinging to the current one. Take the performance that Porsche is known for. Then add to that the strength of a 400 horsepower engine, the design and greater stability of a wider body, the extraordinary traction and agility of all-wheel drive, and an unmistakable illuminated rear light strip. The sum of which is a sports car that holds your attention as tightly as it holds to the road. Porsche. There is no substitute.
Experience the control of all-wheel drive. The new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.
