Charlie Davis

June 7 we lost a great friend and a great man. Charlie was a 50 year member in the club. His leadership and contributions will be missed. Next month we will feature a article about Charlie written by members that remember him best.

SPROCKETS: Maverick Growth by David Robertson, Region President As I have mentioned before, we are experiencing a record turnout for our events and a level of enthusiasm that is exciting to see. A big part of this is due to the welcoming nature of our members. I hear time and time again from new members attending their first event that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything like they expected. There is no elitism, cliquishness, or sense of exclusion. Everyone is here for the same purpose as outlined in our original charter, so it is not surprising that our existing and potential members feel the excitement and enjoy participating. I have met so many people in this club whom I now consider friends, from every economic

The Maverick Region was formed over 55 years ago with the idea that likeminded Porsche enthusiasts would have an opportunity to gather, discuss, drive, and socialize. The original premise of our club has not changed, except that we do things on a much larger scale! Although it is tough to cater to every wish of our 3000 primary and associate members, I believe that we really do offer something for everyone. and cultural background. Inevitably, and with any large organization, there are from time to time non-optimal experiences. As President of the Maverick Region I am just as interested to hear about these experiences and suggestions for improvement. My role as the President is to ensure that we focus on safety, fun, and inclusion and I can assure you that I take that seriously. A natural progression with an active membership such as ours is to have groups of people that may have more specific common interests where they can enjoy

networking with each other. In fact, I believe that these groups increase participation on a larger scale with the membership as a whole and attract and foster even more folks to join the club. One example is the group of non-workers who get together most weeks. This group has grown organically through Maverick Region social media and is becoming very popular. I would love to see Maverick groups and events based on women, young professionals, and Junior PCA members, just to name a few. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel this is excluding anyone but rather opening even more opportunity for our members to find value and a place in our club. I always welcome your feedback and ideas. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to reach out to me atpresident@mavpca.org.

MAV OF THE MONTH: Claudia Reynolds Monthly Socials Chair Claudia stepped in to organize our monthly socials earlier this year when we had an immediate need for the position. After enjoying our driving events in her Boxster, Claudia wanted to get more involved in the club and recognized that her contacts and much of the experience in her career would be very useful in organizing these events. She has jumped in with both feet and our Monthly Socials continue to be one of our most popular Maverick gatherings. Thank you Claudia for taking on the role and we look forward to what you have in store for us! 2 August

May Mavs & Mochas: June 22 by Jim Hirsch and Debi Kruder The number of Porsche participants this morning was in the triple digits, along with “feelslike-triple-digit” temperatures as the sun came out. And if that wasn’t good enough, nearly twenty 964 owners turned out to celebrate 30 years since the introduction of their car generation. Another great Mavs & Mochas event put on by William Kruder and Derrick Tate (with many volunteers too)! -- Jim Hirsch While 100+ Porsches enjoyed the sunshine outside, over one hundred 7-inch rigs took the track indoors! Yes, that’s right, it was a race for speed in the annual Stonebriar Grand Prix. Preschoolers through adults competed for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies for speed. It’s always special to connect the big rigs with the little rigs at this annual Mavs & Mochas! Maybe next year you’ll want to enter the race! – Debi Kruder 6 August

This year, in memory of legendary West Coast Morgan and Cobra racer J. Lewis “Lew” Spencer II, a rig with the name “Lew’s Cobra Daytona” was entered in the race and won 1st place in classic design and place for speed.

Road Trip: Dallas to Aspen in a 2005 Porsche Boxster by Chris Flaugh Specs: 2005 Porsche Boxster, Seal Gray with black top, Graphite Gray interior, 240-hp 2.7-liter flat 6-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission. Wednesday, June 12. We left Dallas a bit later than planned, as things always seem to come up out of nowhere on the morning of departure. With two trunks, the Boxster easily accommodated luggage and other items for the six-day trip. Starting odometer reading: 55,501. We finally hit the road at 11:30 am, intent on reaching Santa Fe before the 9:00 pm closing time of one of my favorite restaurants there. After an uneventful drive through Texas towns such as Electra, Chillicothe, and Amarillo, we crossed into New Mexico and arrived in Santa Fe just before 8:00 pm, in plenty of time for enchiladas with red sauce and posole at La Choza.

Thursday, June 13. After blue corn blueberry lavender donuts from Whoos Donuts in Santa Fe, we topped up the tank and headed north, passing through Ojo Caliente in northern New Mexico, into Colorado through Antonito and Alamosa as the scenery became greener and more impressive. Then, my favorite part of the drive: 8 August

photo provided by author Independence Pass. The winding roads through the mountains can be fun in any car, but significantly more

talked about the Mille Miglia, which I had attended about 20 years ago. His brothers have driven in the event

so in a mid-engine Porsche! Upon reaching the peak at the Continental Divide (elevation 12,095 ft.), we were surprised to see at least a foot of snow still on the ground, in midJune. After stopping for a photo, we headed into Aspen, arriving 5:00 pm at our accommodations for the next three nights: Chateau Eau Claire, overlooking the Roaring Fork River. The Aspen Food and Wine Classic is an annual four-day event, which we have attended a few times before. The event centers around tastings, exhibitions, and demonstrations in the main tent, but there are also numerous smaller events, parties, and dinners hosted by distributors and winemakers. Our first stop was a dinner at Casa Tua, hosted by Santa Margherita Wines. I happened to be seated next to a member of the Marzotto family, who founded Santa Margherita over 80 years ago. The conversation eventually turned to cars, and we

several times in their vintage Lancia. He has attended numerous times, but his participation so far has been limited to driving one of the courtesy cars, a Porsche Panamera. Friday, June 14. A day full of events, starting with Bubbles and Truffles at 10:00 am, also hosted by our friends at Santa Margherita, and featuring a variety of their excellent sparkling wines, as well as some truly outstanding caviar. Lunch was at the Clucking Awesome party. Held at a private residence with amazing views of Aspen Mountain, guests were asked to remove their shoes upon entry, and were provided a pair of very comfortable slippers, embroidered with the Clucking Awesome logo (a chicken and a champagne bottle). Fried chicken, Krug, and Dom Perignon champagne were offered in abundance. Next stop was the Terlato Wine Group party at the rooftop of the Dancing Bear - absolutely top notch

as always. Fortunately, this was only about a block away from the St. Regis Hotel, where my 3:30 massage was scheduled (and I was ready for a break anyway).

Sunday, June 16. Dropped off the condo keys to the Frias Property Management office at 10 am and hit the road. Odometer reading: 56,420. Another fun drive over

While relaxing after my massage, a waiter approached and asked if I would care for a glass of complimentary champagne. Of course, I answered yes, and followed him and a few other guests to a nearby courtyard, where a young lady was standing, holding a large bottle in one hand, and an even larger sabre in the other. After a brief description of the wine at hand, she proceeded to use the sabre to open the bottle in dramatic fashion (a process known as sabering), then poured a glass for everyone in attendance. A sublime feast of a dinner that evening at Matsuhisa was hosted by our friends at Vintus Wines. Restaurant owner and renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa was in attendance that night, and stopped by our table a couple of times to chat and answer questions. Saturday, June 15. After the previous day’s full schedule, Saturday’s first stop was the always popular Hangover Brunch. On to a few more events during the day, then back to the condo for a nap. Our final event of the day was the BBQ with Zonin. Held at a mountainside residence, a wide variety of Zonin wines were flowing, food aplenty, and sabring of Zonin sparkling wines on the deck. Conversation with Francesco Zonin also turned to cars, as we talked about his participation in the Mille Miglia years ago and Italian cars in general.

Independence Pass, this time with top down and seat heaters on. Lunch of burgers and onion rings in Buena Vista, CO, arrival in Santa Fe by 5 pm. Dinner at Maria’s in Santa Fe: margaritas, Carne Adovada, sopaipillas. Monday, June 17. Departed Santa Fe at 9 am. Tempted by the 72-ounce steak at the Big Texan in Amarillo, but settled for lunch at Braum’s. After a couple of close calls with police radar in Texas small towns, arrived home in Dallas at 6 pm. Odometer reading: 57,337. Total miles driven: 1,836 Average MPG: 29.4 Average Calories: ? (Ed)

Here, There, and Everywhere: The Revolver Tour by Sam Bryant If you like beer and Porsches, then the fourth Maverick Tour of 2019 was for you! Even if you don’t like beer, this tour was for you! The “Here, There, and Everywhere” Revolver Tour took place on Saturday, June 22, and ended at Revolver Brewing in Granbury.

This tour had something for everybody: hills, valleys, turns, twists, long straightaways, country driving, city driving, great weather, good music, good food, and did I mention really good beer?

The day started at the High School in Weatherford with 106 cars and 177 attendees. That broke last year’s count by 20 cars! The tour wound its way through the towns of Lipan, Bluff Dale, and Paluxy to name a few, before arriving in Granbury, and covered 83.9 miles. Helping herd all of those Porsches were nine Volunteer Group Leaders, who included Mark Pitarresi, Jay Lynch, Scott Garwood, Ted Martin, Ed Martelle, Tim Schutze, Paul Ozmer, Mike Farrell, and Sam Bryant. Once everyone arrived at Revolver Brewing, they were treated to their own private parking area away from the white gravel of the standard parking area, and things only got better from there! A $10 admission got you a logo pint glass, beer tastings (for those over 21, of course ), live music, and a tour of Revolver Brewing plant. How awesome is that? Overall, the fourth tour of 2019 brought out a lot of Porsches and a lot of smiles on those who participated. Some tour veterans went so far as to say this was the best tour yet. The next Maverick tour is Sunday, September 15, and will end at the Eagles Canyon Raceway. Registration for the tour will open August 15. It is our annual charity drive, so stay tuned for more details to follow soon. 12 August

Maverick Trivia: Are you a Porschephile? Jerry DeFeo You can test your knowledge (or Google search ability) of all things Porsche by participating in the monthly trivia contest posted online at http://mav.pca.org/ trivia. Answers are due by the last day of each month. The winner of the trivia contest receives a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor, Zims Autotechnik. In the case of ties, a random drawing determines the winner. Here are the questions and answers for the June 2019 Trivia. We went with a Trivia that brings Q&A this month dealing with 914s, 916s, and 968s. The winner this month, getting all 5 of 5 correct, was Bob Kuykendall. The Runner-up, getting all 5 of 5 correct was Tom Martin. In case of a tie, a drawing is held to determine the winner. 1. In 1971, Ferdinand Piech had a prototype built, called the 916. According to the source, another 10 more production prototypes were also built, but this special 916 with a 2.9 L racing engine ended up going to Piechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, who nicknamed the car_____. a.

What was the color? a. Signal Red b. Bright Yellow c. Lime Green d. Nuremberg Blue Source: https://tinyurl.com/y57ufdwj (Hemmings Daily article by Kurt Ernst) 3. The 916 was never brought to market, as it was determined to be too expensive ($14,000 to $15,000) compared to the 1971-72 competition. One could get a new 911S Targa for $10,230, or a more prestigious Ferrari Dino for $14,500. Even the 2.0 L 914-6 was being outsold in 1970 by the 914-4 by a 5 to 1 margin. And 1971 was even worse, being outsold by a ________ margin! a. 9 to 1 b. 17 to 1 c. 28 to 1 d. 37 to 1 Source: https://tinyurl.com/y57ufdwj (Hemmings Daily article by Kurt Ernst) 4. Porscheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry level vehicle following the 914 was the frontengine, water-cooled 924. Then came the 944 in 1982, the 944S in 1987, and the 944S2 in 1989. Porsche Engineers planned on an S3 variant for 1992, but since they had changed so much (only about _______ of the parts were the same) they decided to introduce an all new model as the 968. a. 20% b. 25% c. 30% d. 35% Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_968 5.

Autocross Series Event 5: May 26, Mineral Wells Airpark by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair

photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images

Event 5 was the final MirrorCross of the season, held at the large and fast Mineral Wells Airpark site in Mineral Wells, TX. This is where we run parallel courses, with side by side drag-race-style starting lights. In the results you can see how close to a perfect 0.50-second start or red light breakout was happening, and our fastest 60-foot times were turned in by the Boxster GTS (due to its quick-shifting PDK transmission), the GT3 (due to its horsepower), and the 914 2.0 (due to its good gearing). Eleven of the 83 cars at this event were Porsches. Class P1, the early 911 and 914 class, saw a hard-fought battle between the super fast 1972 911S driven by Ed Mayo and the super handling 914 2.0 driven by Mark Schnoerr. Times were very close, but the win went to the 914 this time. In class P3, Fran Ussery and Carolle Liu traded places and each won on one side. Fran just edged our Carolle for the win.

Class P4 saw two new drivers sharing a Boxster GTS: Jake d’Fonseca and Daniel Finckbeiner, making Doug Edney work his 996 hard enough to decide that it’s time for a suspension upgrade.

Jake took first, Doug second, and Daniel third. Class P5 saw Owen and Holli Coulman driving their 996 GT3 and 996 Turbo Cab. Owen pulled out the win. The Performance index-adjusted times ranked the top three Porsches as Owen, Mark, and Ed this time. Owen was also sixth in overall event PAX time. In the Ladies’ Performance indexed classes, Sigrid and Holli came in third and fourth overall respectively. The season schedule is published elsewhere in the newsletter and online.

Member Perspective: Porsche Experience Center Atlanta by Reanard Pangestu Hello everyone! I am a new member and first-time Porsche owner. My wife and I ordered our 2019 Macan S through Porsche Grapevine and took delivery on June 27, 2019 at PEC Atlanta. From the first time I stepped into the dealer back in December just to “look

around,” to the extended alone test drive with my wife to familiarize ourselves with the Macan, to the ordering and financial process, PEC delivery, and even the second delivery back In Grapevine, the whole process has been surreal for us and each step of the way has exceeded our expectations by a long shot. Now, a little bit about us. I am a long-time auto and motorsport enthusiast. I have rubbed off on my wife after all this time, and although she does have some interest, she is not completely infatuated by it. Therefore, when I insisted that we opt for the PEC Delivery, she was a

photos provided by author bit skeptical, but eventually agreed to it, just so she wouldn’t have to hear me whine anymore. Now this is where it gets interesting. I already know coming in that am going to have a good time during the whole delivery day regardless. What we didn’t expect was how my wife truly enjoyed herself throughout the delivery. The whole experience was top notch! Of course, PEC Atlanta is catered to the auto enthusiast, but it shows that Porsche also did their homework on how to make sure the delivery day is positively memorable, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the non-enthusiast. Presentation is the key here, not just for the actual vehicle delivery itself, but the way they set up your whole day there. From the first welcome, a quick tour of the building and venue, the unveiling of the vehicle itself, the 90-minute Driving Experience with a more-than-capable and patient coach, the excellent fine dining lunch, and last but not least, the gift bag with several items of Porsche gear, accessories, and snacks. My wife was happy and hooked! And that, on top of the flawless day that we had, made it into an experience both of us will remember for the rest of our lives.

Maverick Marktpreis is proudly sponsored by:

Maverick Marktpreis: Panamera Turbo / Turbo Sy Peter Wen It’s a sedan . . . it’s a hatchback . . . it’s a 928-reimagined, 911-esque, grand tourer: Panamera! Following the success of the company’s first 4-door production vehicle, the Cayenne, in 2009, Porsche was ready to take on the luxury sedan segment with a GT car of their own. Enter the Panamera. The Panamera, Type 970, was produced from 2010-2016. It was a full-sized luxury sedan. Yes, full-sized like a Mercedes S-Class. Similar to the 928, this luxury sedan had an engine up front, and it could seat four adults comfortably. The twin-turbo 500 hp V8 engine can launch the Panamera from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds. It was faster than a Cadillac CTS-V, a Mercedes CLS63 AMG, or a Corvette Grand Sport. In fact, it was even quicker than most seventh-gen 911s (991)! It’s no

wonder the Excellence magazine picked the Turbo to be the Best Daily Driver of all Panamera variants. Inside, the Panamera cabin is luxurious. One reviewer compared the backseats to first-class pods on airplanes. It has an awesome sound system and superb supportive seats. The MSRP for early Turbo models started at $135k. However with options, it could jump quickly to the $150k-$160k range. Today, you can find early Turbos for a fraction of the original price. If you are looking for a spacious, practical, family sedan that can blow the doors off your snooty neighbors’ sports car, look no further than a Panamera Turbo. It’s a Porsche through and through. We will be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Panamera at Mavs & Mochas in Dallas (Highland Park Village) on August 10.

Excellence magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these price ranges for the Panamera Turbo: ’10-’13 Turbo $45k-$70k ’12-’13 Turbo S $60k-$70k ’14-’16 Turbo $70k-$95k ’14-’16 Turbo S $85k-$110k This “tri-fold” rear spoiler wing is unique to Panamera Turbo and GTS models. The wing deploys automatically at 56 mph.

Fun Fact: “The Panamera's name is derived, like the Porsche Carrera lineage, from the Carrera Panamericana race. The Panamera is generally considered to be the long-awaited fruit of Porsche's 989 concept vehicle from the late 1980s.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Panamera

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder I have to say I hit the jackpot on this interview. If there are two opportunities that we have as a club, they are getting our 4-door owners out, and the participation of female owners. So as it worked out, this member just happened to be stalking the Mavs & Mochas Facebook page and discovered that we would be at Highland Park Village in Dallas, her old stomping grounds, for our Founders’ Day morning. She made the drive down to discover some 150+ other Porsches enjoying a near-perfect December morning. This not-so-shy person made her rounds, admiring the cars and introducing herself, and Debi and I were fortunate to have met her that morning. So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you:

photos provided by author BK: Rumor has it you live up by the Red River? CT: Well, I do live pretty far north, but let’s not get carried away (laughing). I live in Gunter, which by the way is pronounced “Gun-ner.” We moved up there in 2001 and bought 1.5 acres in an area called Hidden Lakes Ranch. The plan was to one day build on it. That never happened, but we did end up selling the property and buying a home nearby. BK: And how about college? CT: After high school I attended North Texas. Let’s just say that after two years I left after having had a great time (laughing). I did find myself a few years later and graduated from UTD with a BA in Psychology. I then went on to get my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance from Texas A&M Commerce.

BK: Tell me about this “four wheel” hobby you have! CT: Yep not many know this one but yes, I have a 1943 Ford GPW (General Purpose Wagon) commonly known as a “jeep.” BK: How this happen? CT: Well I had a friend some years back who was into WWII planes, and I got to going to air shows, so I guess it stemmed from that. BK: Now there is a story behind this one right? CT: Yes there is. Back in 1995, my dad was coming to visit and he said he was looking to buy a Willys “jeep,” the

BK: So let’s talk cars. What was your first car? CT: That would have been a 1976 Honda Accord hatchback; it was actually pretty stylish for its time, especially if you remember the ‘70s civics with the donut wheels.

Chantel Tennyson, member since 2017 Owner, 2012 Panamera 4 Bill Kruder: So where are you two from? Chantel Tennyson: I was born here in Dallas, actually University Park. My dad was in the dairy business and he took a job in Omaha. We moved back to Dallas after about three years. I went to grammar school and high school in Highland Park - yes I’m a “Fightin’ Scot.” It’s funny, back in the day, the houses were mostly cracker box houses, and now they are McMansions. 20 August

BK: What came next? CT: Well in 1981 I bought a brand new Mercury Cougar XR7. It was brown metallic with a brown vinyl landau top complete with carriage lights, if you Zara, Chantel’s 2012 Panamera at the Villiage Theatre can even imagine that today. company that had the original contract to make jeeps. So he makes his trip out. BK: I understand that you moved on to I had found a 1943 Ford GPW that had Cadillac and even have a couple today? been restored some 10 years earlier (Ford CT: Guilty (laughing)! I did and do. I got a contract when Willys couldn’t always loved the Eldorados! I’ve had keep up with demand). Needless to three and actually still have two of say, he was like a kid at Christmas and them: a 1998 and a 2002. Most people immediately rented a trailer, and next don’t realize it but Cadillac made them thing I know he is headed back home for 50 years. The 2002s were the last with his “jeep” in tow. Then in about model made. I have a hard time letting 2008 my dad had taken ill, and I told him the one thing I wanted was that cars go. They become family members, Ford “jeep” so he willed it to me and I so I still own all but three of the cars brought it back home. I’ve ever purchased.

BK: Ok but this is more than just a casual thing; you take this seriously, I hear. CT: Well, if being president of the Sherman Chapter of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA) for 10 years qualifies, I guess you can say it’s more than casual. It’s fun to be invited to different parades and events as a lot of people aren’t all that familiar with the older military vehicles and those that are are up there in age now. BK: So tell me how you made the leap to a Porsche Panamera? CT: Let’s just say it was not planned. About three years ago I had a car in the shop for some serious repairs, and the shop called and told me that the cost to repair would be greater than the value. With that said, I started to look for a car. I thought I wanted a Jaguar. So one day I was on Facebook Marketplace and there was this 2012 Panamera 4 for sale in Frisco. I went down to see it. I remember sitting in it the first time and thinking “OMG I am in heaven.” But for some reason I still needed to check the Jag out; I test drove it and didn’t get the OMG feeling. So they say the rest is history. I went back and bought the Panamera.

BK: Ok, so if you had your dream car what would it be? CT: That’s easy. If we’re talking Old School, it would be a 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback - I always loved and wanted one. Back in the day, we would cruise on Forest Lane with all these great muscle cars and the Mach 1 was my favorite. Now if we’re talking new-issue dream car, it would have better A/C and speak with an accent (laughing). And there you have it – yes, 4-door owners do Drive Friendships!

BK: Kind of a small world actually, as to how you joined the club. CT: True. I had taken my car into NTB for an alignment, and yes I know now we have better shops but I wasn’t in the know yet. As I’m waiting, there’s this guy there getting tires on his Boxster. Well for the next 30-45 minutes all he did was talk about how great the cars are, how much fun the club is, and that I just had to join. That was Tom Minnella. So needless to say I joined the club.

Tech Session Recap: The Porsche Physical by Scott Kerfoot

photos provided by author and Michael Baynton

The almost monthly Maverick Region tech session happened June 29 at the family-owned Porsche (and other) shop Fifth Gear in Lewisville, focusing on “The Porsche Physical.” While there were at least a few other events happening on the same day, the 75 members in attendance received the benefit of having the full staff

that are decades old. Conversations about how to detect when things are wearing, whether replacements are DIY jobs or better left to someone with the myriad of special tools were common. Even topics such as where to look for oil leaks, when a leak might be bad, and how some of the common leaks are remedied came up for discussion.

from Fifth Gear on hand. The newly renovated shop, with an updated waiting area, fresh and clean work area, and--most importantly on this hot and humid morning-awesome air conditioning throughout the building was a great location for learning about our cars. The entire Fifth Gear staff was engaged throughout the event, imparting wisdom about both water-cooled (left) and air-cooled (right) Porsches, which were separated by Fifth Gear’s Wasser-Luft line. Those on the right side had great conversations about how to give their classics a physical while those on the left stayed focused on learning about their modern machines from the underside. Luckily, the Maverick Region collectors in attendance who enjoy both air and water helped keep us focused on what the region is known for: building friendship across that line. The level of detail in the Luft discussions was down to bushings, bearings, and seals, with discussions on some of the obvious and not-so-obvious parts that can wear on cars

On the Wasser side of the line, the conversations focused on maintenance intervals, how to perform regular maintenance, what things technicians see from a wear perspective on modern cars, as well as discussions about preparing for track or DE days.

Most memorable Maverick or PCA event

Working (hard!) with fellow Mavericks to host the 1987 Parade at DFW Airport. I assisted Tech Quiz Chair Jerry Sutton with creating the quizzes, and wrote seemingly a bazillion potential questions. We were the first Parade to use the Scantron automated scoring system, which allowed us to give immediate results to the participants. Jerry and I, possibly for the only time in Parade history, handed out the Tech Quiz awards dressed in academic caps and gowns. Peter Porsche was so amused, he came up shook our hands. To top it all off, Steve Kent and I took First Place in the Unequipped Division of the Rally. This amazed us both, because the rally was one of the most fiendishly devious ones ever devised for a Parade, thanks to Rallymaster Billy Bob Evil, aka Carl Ussery. Memorable indeed!

Best thing about Porsche ownership

You get to be in a great club, and do great things with and without your Porsche.

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor

If you’ve been to a Mavs & Mochas event, or pretty much any other of the many Maverick social events you’ve likely seen Bill Orr walking the crowd looking for kids that might need a Porsche of their own. Bill isn’t giving away keys, but he is giving away daydreams. Hot Wheels are the currency that he deals in on Saturday mornings, but he’s selective. He has lots of goodies at the tent for those of us with our own wheels, but his Hot Wheels are the most sought after commodities in the under 16 set. You’ll have to go to Walmart like the rest of us to complete your collection. It wasn’t long ago that snatching up the latest Hot Wheels Porsche model was a guilty pleasure I thought was on par with going to a Weird Al concert, (Apparently I’m not cool enough for Weird Al anymore) but I’ve found out that I’m not the only one. I think they combine two things that many of us find hard to resist. Cars and collections. Not all of us can have collections of cars, at least not the kind of collections we daydreamed of as kids. A little history is in order. Hot Wheels first hit the scene in 1968 with a series of 16 cars at the International

Toy fair. As it turns out the first commercially available model was a Camaro. They sold for 59¢. If you found one today you could expect to spend in the thousands. It’s kind of amazing that the cost of a new Hot Wheels car has risen only 60% in more than 50 years. For comparison Car and Driver tested a 1967 911 that rang in at a price as test cost of $7,255. Had that car appreciated like it’s smaller likeness it would be squarely in my price range. Day dreams. In case you’re wondering, the oldest Hot Wheels Porsche model I could find was from 1974. I do happen to have one of those. So with your help, I’ve been able to come out of the shadows and feel okay about saving a few cars from the demolition derby that my son hosts most weekend mornings. I do make sure he’s stocked with Porsches, even if it pains me to hear the crunching because I remember how cool it was to stage the most spectacular crashes over and over. Michael Bay had nothing on me. I sure do wish I hadn’t left my Red Baron in the sandbox though. Oh well. Enjoy the drive... through the shag carpet Black Forest in your supercar of choice.
