Taycan. Rhymes with icon. With life getting back in motion, now is the perfect time to discover a classic in the making: Taycan. It’s the first all-electric Porsche sports car, with two permanent-magnet synchronous motors generating up to 750 hp and acceleration faster than a skydiver in free fall. Plus, an 800-volt battery that can be partially recharged to add up to 62 miles of range in just over five minutes. And at Park Place, this new Porsche icon comes with a total commitment to sanitation, safety and comfort every time you visit the dealership.
That’s what makes Park Place feel like Your Place.

Board Botschaft: The “Moms” Tour by Chris Flaugh, Region Treasurer Like many people these days, our vacation plans have been cancelled or put on hold. But, for those who still have jobs, vacation time continues to accrue. And in Frank’s case, he had accumulated nearly two weeks of vacation time he needed to use or lose by the end of July. What to do . . . . Neither of us really wanted to fly anywhere at this point. But we both have mothers who live out of state: one in Tennessee and one in Indiana. They both have been focused on staying in the comfort of their homes as much as possible, but had dropped hints that they were getting kind of lonely. So, we decided to take a road trip! Friday, July 3: Dallas to Collierville, TN. Our typical route over the Christmas holiday is to drive to Frank’s parents’ house just outside Memphis, then drive the second day to my Mom’s house in Fort Wayne, Indiana. On this trip, we followed that path, but Frank’s mother was actually out of town for the weekend, visiting her sister, so we would see her on the way back. Saturday, July 4: Collierville, TN to Fort Wayne, IN. A full day on the road, with a stop for lunch at White Castle in Bowling Green, KY. No inside dining available that day, so we went through the drive up window and ate in the car (sorry, VW!). The bridge across the Ohio River at Louisville looks kind of like the Dallas bridges to nowhere. Arrived at Mom’s house in time for dinner. Outside temperature: only 79 degrees at 5:02 pm! When’s the last time we saw temps like that here? Sunday, July 5: Spent the day at my brother’s lake house on Lake Pleasant, on the Indiana/ Michigan border. Very relaxing day - apparently I fell asleep outside, on a lawn chair in the shade overlooking the lake. I was told by one of my nephews that I was snoring (no photo available). Monday, July 6: Checked a few things off the list around Mom’s house, and later had dinner with my mother and godmother (best friends since high school). We couldn’t find a restaurant open that evening, so we picked up a pizza and took it over to Judy’s house - thankfully, she tends to be well-stocked on wine. Tuesday, July 7: Looking through some old photos, found one of me and my grandfather checking out a mid60s Corvette; not sure if that was before or after we admired the Porsche 356 next to it. Then after a pre-birthday sushi lunch for Frank, we headed south to visit my sister and 2 August
her husband at their home in Noblesville, IN. Grilled pork chops for dinner, and more wine! Wednesday, July 8: Frank’s birthday - he received the traditional birthday greeting my sister bestows on her four boys. Then we departed from Noblesville to Collierville, TN. Arrived in time for Frank to enjoy a southern birthday dinner of his mother’s homemade fried chicken, okra, and mashed potatoes (and some champagne). Back to Dallas at the end of the week. Total miles driven: 2,292. Average MPG: 40.2. No speeding tickets. Sorry, we didn’t take a Porsche on this road trip, drove the VW Passat TDI. Next road trip will be in a Porsche. Meanwhile, this was a great opportunity to get out for a change of scenery and to see some people we had not seen for a while. Phone calls, Zoom calls, Facebook group calls, etc. are all great, but sometimes you just need a bit more personal interaction. Everyone has their own comfort level, but this worked for us! We travelled at our own pace, in the safety of our own car, avoided crowds, limited personal interactions as much as possible, and wore a mask when appropriate. Stay safe out there!
COVID-19 Updates for Maverick Region Maverick Region COVID Communication Chair, Wendy Shoffit
Well, as you know, there has been good news and bad news this past month related to COVID-19. First the bad: apparently, we Texans have been “bad puddy tats” who haven’t been properly socially distancing, wearing masks, and keeping healthy. So, positive test results for this have been spiking since the latter part of June. I think everyone has been tired of being cooped up and are desperate to get out, not always making the best decisions. So now Governor Abbott has mandated mask wearing and is closing some businesses again. We will see if more closings will happen or if we can reverse this trend. The good news is that we Mavericks have successfully had a few events and we’ve generally had good luck with people behaving. People haven’t minded signing the communicable disease waiver, as we have 128 people who have signed to date. I think it’s a small price to pay to be able to gather with your PCA friends at
tours and happy hours. The one thing I ask for future signers: pretty please with sugar on top print your name LEGIBLY. Your signature can be on par with doctors, but the printed version needs to be readable. Take your time. You just need to sign it once. Please and thank you! The future of events depends largely on the local governing bodies and their restrictions. If they ban large events outright, we obviously need to cancel some. Just know we will do everything we can to meet government regulations to meet safely and to protect all our members. We will do our best to keep you informed about events that can happen and which cannot. Be healthy and well!
Wendy Shoffit COVID Communications Chair
MAV OF THE MONTH: Julia Cleath Julia has been with the PCA a little over 4 years. Julia has been a true Porsche fan dating back more years than I’m sure she’d like to say. When going to any of the club events, she’s not content with riding as navigator in her husband’s 911 SC, no she gets behind the wheel of her 1988 Guards Red 944 and drafts behind him. Other times you might find her in the driver’s seat of her Macan. Julia is always helping out at many of our Social events putting her loving touch on what she does with that friendly smile. Most recently she has teamed up with JimmyG our Charity Chair and his wife Phyllis on a great cause. They have worked together to organize a fund raiser in conjunction with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. Julia helped design and organize the sales of the New Porsche logo t-shirts substituting the O in Porsche to the pink ribbon. You may have seen a few of these great looking shirts at the June Mavs & Mochas where she helped raise close to $600. If you haven’t purchased yet or made a donation, visit http://mav.pca.org/go/hope to help the club reach their goal of $2,500. This amount will allow us to pack 50 “Hope Kits” that each include a personal note from the packer with all the necessary items to support and care for someone battling breast cancer. I’m always so happy to see the different roads we take to help others while Driving Friendships. These are outstanding examples of how our club stays Fueled By Volunteers. Please join me in Congratulating Julia as our Maverick of the Month. 3

Tech session recap: Fifth Gear (via Zoom) by Micheal Baynton, Tech Sessions Co-chair
It’s too bad that Mazda has trademarked the phrase “Zoom Zoom”—it would have been the perfect title for this month’s tech article. So just close your eyes for a sec and imagine that I usurped it anyway… Yes, even our tech sessions have been drastically affected by Covid, so for the safety of our members and vendors, we went online in July and held our first-ever virtual tech session on Saturday, July 11 via Zoom. Our host was Fifth Gear in Lewisville (FYI--they also have a facility in Argyle.), and it was a resounding success based on feedback from our members that signed up and watched. Fifth Gear presented a comprehensive overview of Porsche maintenance facts and myths, covering everything from oil change schedules and suggested brands, fluid replacement intervals, IMS concerns, and a variety of other topics. The online chat feature was used to great success to answer members’ questions in real time, and Fifth Gear even had a garage full of Porsches available for hands-on show-and-tell. Their experts were able to climb into and under cars to highlight various aspects of maintenance requirements and offered a lot of practical tips and tricks. They answered as many questions as possible during our allotted time, and even stayed late in the chat to answer additional questions. To top things off, they awarded premium gift certificates for the four best online questions PLUS $100 gift certificates to lucky members who signed up for the session—a very gracious gesture! Many thanks to everyone at Fifth Gear that accepted this challenge and committed to moving this tech session from shop to screen. 6 August

As we look to the rest of the year, we hope to get back to “live” sessions as soon as it is safe to do so. If we can find additional informative topics that we can practically and thoroughly present via Zoom, we will definitely bring those to you as well. We will update our tech session calendar on our site and will keep you informed via social media. In the meantime, stay safe and Zoom!

Pop-Ups
Pop-ups have become one of the best ways to get together with your Porsche friends. Check social media to see what’s happening.

Left from top: The FloMoPoCo (Flower Mound Porsche Coffee) weekly pop-up, Kona Coffee in Frisco every Sunday and Summer Moon Coffee in Keller. Above: Photographer Scott Sheetz is in the frame capturing some snaps at the Keller pop-up. A J Chabria always has a smile ready and waiting.
You might have seen some “pop-ups” posted on social media. These are not club affiliated events, just enthusiasts that have gotten together with friends to create a safe place to share stories and get some relief from the day to day grind. Coffee and cars, but not Cars and Coffee; think much, much smaller. Some meet every week and others happen more spontaneously. They all have Porsches in common but they aren’t exclusive, come as you are and meet some new friends.

Never Say Forever . . . by Robert Turner What defines a “keeper,” a forever car? What makes you want to hold on to a rolling piece of steel, rubber, plastic, and fabric when the rust sets in, the trim sags, the motor is telling you it needs some TLC, or it’s just begging you to take it out on the road and thrash it? What make you want to keep it? Is it sentimentality or an investment or has it become part of the family? Porsche AG tells us that over 70% of Porsches manufactured are still on the road. So, for many of us, the Porsche sitting in the garage is our forever car. Me? Not so much. I’ve never been the sentimental sort when it comes to cars. Do I miss several of the Porsches I’ve bought and sold? You bet! That ’76 930 Turbo Carrera? Yep! Or how about the slate-gray metallic ’93 968. Oh yeah. Or LMNHED (Lemonhead) 1 – the ’02 Boxster S in Speed Yellow with factory speedster humps. Definitely. I want that one back for sure. But every time I have declared a car a keeper, a forever car – well, its days are numbered. I’ve owned a lot of cars; seems like there is a new one in the garage all the time. Funny thing though: a majority were used (or maybe it’s more politically correct to say “pre-owned”). What does this list say about us and our automotive choices? Well except for Porsches, we get tired of cars pretty fast. We say we’re going to keep them forever, but don’t, and for the most part have owned a little bit of everything. But I will say that when I sell a car, it’s usually in much better shape than when I bought it. Not bragging, but buying one of my cars is a good idea. Why? It will be spotlessly clean, the maintenance will be up to date and (especially with the Porsches) it may have some very tasty mods installed. You see, when it comes to Porsches, I have a problem. I call it the Slippery Slope — I can’t help myself, I just have to make the car better. My wife commented about my “hobby” and noted that my automotive excess tended to be very expensive. “But at least I’m not addicted to golf!” I proudly pointed out, and then went on to say that at least she was not a golf widow. No, she countered, she was a garage widow – which amounts to same thing and based on the cost of Porsches plus mods, she pointed out that we would probably come out ahead if I started playing golf 2-3 times a week. Hmmm, she had me there . . . . So I thought I would compile a list of all the vehicles we have owned or been assigned (meaning company cars) since my first 1965 Ford Mustang (listed in chronological order from first vehicle owned to most recent). This list includes the cars my wife drove up to and when we met, as well as the cars that I have purchased for my two sons (but still held the title). It is quite a long list. There are some pretty bad vehicles along the way - but some really good ones too - so enjoy. 14 August
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27.

Yeah, traded in the Suzuki on it) 1990 Acura Integra ES (2nd new car) 1986 Nissan Pulsar (ouch, we had one of those – actually was my wife’s car) 1987 Porsche 944S (2nd Porsche; our first son rode around in this) 1990 Ford Aerostar Minivan (company car; yuck, ewww, terrible) 1993 Mazda 626 (leveraged a poopy diaper to get a deal on this) 1993 Dodge Caravan (company car, meh…) 1990 BMW 525i (our first Beemer) 1996 Dodge Caravan (company car, meh x2) 1999 Ford Explorer (great story about this one. Look for the new e-book Kindle release) 1999 Dodge Intrepid (company car; it was purple and we had it six weeks) 1999 BMW 528i (another great story included in upcoming Kindle release) 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera 930 (BAD BOY, what ‘cha gonna do!?) 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo 951 (1st track car) 2001 Ford Excursion (needed to tow track car above to the track – duh) 1999 Porsche Boxster (Bad Boy=Garage queen, 951=Track Car, Boxster=Fun) 1992 BMW 525i Touring (another great story in the upcoming Kindle eBook)
28. 2001 Volvo S60 (another short-timer; it came and went fast) 29. 1983 Mercedes 230E (Bullet; great stories abound) 30. 2005 Honda CR-V (meh!) 31. 2006 Audi A3 (answer when told to get rid of 930, 951, and Boxster) 32. 2007 Honda CR-V (meh x2!) 33. 2004 VW Touareg V8 (nice SUV if we could keep it running) 34. 1992 Mazda Miata (1st Miata track car) 35. 1993 Porsche 968 (yeah, I know, should have kept this one) 36. 2001 Porsche Boxster S (1st yellow one, totaled at Boxstoberfest no less) 37. 2007 Ford F-150 (older son’s 1st car) 38. 1995 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (younger son’s 1st car) 39. 2007 VW Passat (answer to Touareg, was supposed to be a keeper) 40. 2006 Porsche Cayman S (properly set up for track events) 41. 2008 VW GTI (older son’s 2nd car) 42. 2004 Porsche Cayenne (new tires for Passat meant its days were numbered) 43. Porsche 944 Turbo (another 951 track car; fun to drive, but always broken) 44. 2007 BMW 530i (replaced the Jeep, younger son’s 2nd car) 45. 2002 Porsche Boxster S (the red one; strangely I never bonded with this one) 46. 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman (traded GTI for this) 47. 2006 Mini Cooper S JCW GP Kit (#1393 of 2015 built; loved this Mini rocket) 48. 1999 Mazda Miata (The Beast; test platform for Track Dog Racing) So, a couple of observations. My first company car was a Ford Aerostar minivan, which for some reason my father-in-law insisted on calling an Astroloid. Nowadays, when I see a clapped-out Aerostar/ Astroloid creeping down the street I wonder how it’s still on the road. They all have a rusted patina that just screams “please take me to the nearest junkyard.” Come to think of it, back when I drove mine, I wonder how it stayed on the road. It was beyond terrible. The shortest time I “owned” a car? Six weeks. A
49. 2013 Ford F-150 Platinum (towed The Beast to and from track) 50. 2015 Jeep Cherokee (oldest son’s current car) 51. 2002 Porsche Boxster S (LMNHED 1, I want this one back) 52. Hyundai Elantra GT (youngest son’s current car) 53. 2014 Porsche Cayman S (Lemon Head 2, not labeled a forever car;-) 54. 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel (replaced Mini, thank goodness)
colleague ordered a purple Dodge Intrepid and left the company shortly after he took delivery. Since my lease was up, I got stuck with it. I left the company six weeks later. My about-to-be ex-boss asked me if I was leaving because of the purple car? I said yes – paused – then laughed. But really, that car was cursed. The longest we have owned a car? My wife’s Mini Countryman. It stayed with us over five years. But, good news, it was replaced with the Cayenne Diesel. Wow, that is quite a list! Over
50+ cars in a lifetime. And I have no doubt that 60 is easily attainable (I am sure my wife is cringing as she reads this). So tell me, what should our 55th car be? What Porsche will I be adding to the collection next? Oh, and I have the contact info of the couple that bought LMNHED 1 - just saying. And on that exhaust note . . . .

Steven Taylor, Shop Foreman Park Place Porsche, breaks down how significant a drain clean service is for your Porsche. “This service is important to get done because over time leaves, pollen and general debris will clog the drains. Once the drains are clogged, water will begin to back up. When this occurs, there is a high potential that the water will begin to enter the interior of the vehicle because of the inability to runoff. This generally will lead to costly repairs of not only drying the interior, but replacing electrical control units.” A drain clean service is recommend as an annual or semi-annual service depending on how susceptible your vehicle is to debris. Neighborhoods with heavy foliage are more susceptible to creating this issue for Porsche owners. We always encourage our clients to stay informed as to prevent any unnecessary maintenance. Call us today for more information on how to protect your Porsche and schedule your service appointment!

According to Hagerty, the average SC value is now $33,000, down from $33,500 two years ago. The Super Carrera, or SC, was produced from ’78 to ’83, in the middle of the impact-bumper generation 911 production. With its superb 3.0L engine, a total of 57,890 SCs were produced.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder
photos provided by Robert Kendrick
Sometimes friendships take a while to form. This person and I first met at Cars & Coffee back in 2009. Both of us would show up early, chat for a bit, and walk the cars; then, when it was over we would go our separate ways. Next month we’d do the same, until one month he wasn’t there. Several months passed, and then like out of nowhere, one month he’s back. Heck, I thought he moved away (laughing), but no, he had hip surgery, not just once but twice. Needless to say, we picked up where we left off. Fast forward to spring of 2014: I had brought a cigar to the event and as we were leaving he said, “Hey, I enjoy cigars - maybe we should do that some time.” Well, guys being guys, we don’t exchange numbers – heck, you have to be careful, he could be crazy (laughing). It’s not until the next couple of C&C’s that we actually do exchange numbers, and as they say, the rest is friendship history. As I often kid, most people aren’t this cautious dating.
to have Stuarts move the rails back to get me the extra three inches I needed. My 996 turbo comes with sports seats, which are manual, and they have plenty of room to move back. BK: Well ok then! Now that we have that out of the way, where are you from? RK: I was born in Paris - yes that one in France. I lived there until I was four years old. We then moved to North Carolina, where my dad’s
Robert Kendrick, member since 2015 Owner, 2005 996 Turbo S and 2016 Macan Turbo Bill Kruder: So I usually start with where are you from, but frankly everyone wants to know: how the heck do you fit (mind you he is 6’ 9”) in your 996? Robert Kendrick: Ha, yes that is always the first thing people ask me when they see me climb out of my car! The secret is manual seats. My red 996 had power seats, and I had 20 August
BK: But Jacksonville is what you call home? RK: It is! Like I said I was six years old when we moved there so I went to Catholic grammar school and high school there. I didn’t stray far for college either, attending University of Florida in Gainesville, which is only about 90 minutes southwest of Jacksonville. BK: We have something in common about our college years and our job in college I hear? RK: Yes we do! I worked at the local JC Penney Store in the catalog department. Had I stayed I could have been you (laughing). BK: Yes, I worked at a JC Penney store in Chicago during college and retired from the company 40 years later.
Robert Kendrick standing with some of his sports collection.
So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . .
RK: Oh no, not a word! Matter of fact, I didn’t speak English and my mom didn’t either (laughing). When we moved to the states it was pretty strange as my dad brought us home to his family, and for the life of me I don’t recall how we communicated (laughing).
family was. From there we moved to Pensacola, Florida then finally settling in Jacksonville, Florida when I was six years old. BK: Paris, France huh? RK: Yes, my dad was in the Air Force, then called the Army Air Corps. He was actually stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. He then was deployed to the Pacific and eventually sent to Paris as part of the reconstruction of France, and that’s when he met my mom. BK: So your dad spoke French?
BK: What did you study in college then? RK: I received my degree in Advertising with a minor in Business. BK: I know you enjoy drawing - is that why you chose Advertising? RK: I think that had something to do with it. I have always enjoyed sketching. I had an uncle who taught art at Piedmont College in North Carolina, and I think I picked up that gene from him. As it turns out I really do enjoy drawing or sketching, and still do to this day, using color pencil and acrylic or charcoal.
BK: So that’s what you went into after graduating? RK: No, I never did. I wasn’t really sure what I would do, so my first job out of college was as an insurance adjuster in Rome – no, not that one (laughing) – Rome, Georgia. BK: How did you end up in DFW? RK: Well it sure was a winding road, but after living in Rome, I found myself taking a job in Jacksonville. Then it was off to New York City, Orlando, Dallas (the first time in 1994), Greensboro, and then back to Dallas in 2001. BK: Why did you leave and come back? RK: Well I was here for three years, but then my dad became ill so I took a job in Greensboro to be closer to my parents. It went from a 14-hour drive to about six hours. BK: So when and how did you and your wife Laurie meet? RK: We were kind of introduced by a mutual friend who set us up on a blind date. This was in 1996 during my first stay here. Then in 1997 I moved to Greensboro and we did the long distance thing for a bit; then stuff happened and we stopped. As it turned out, my dad passed away in 2000 and Laurie came out to see me.
what I had earlier, but this one was modified. We would refer to it as the “space shuttle” as it had some real quirky things done to increase its performance. BK: Ok, so most people don’t know about your hobby? Time to tell. RK: It would be my sports memorabilia collection; specifically it’s a collection of full size football helmets. Some years back Laurie gifted me a NY Giants helmet signed by Pat Summerall, who played for them as the kicker from 1958-61, and which happened to be his greatest years (1959). From there it has just kind of grown to 45-50 of them, all signed by the players I admired growing up or watching in college or the NFL. BK: So I have to ask, what is your most prized helmet? RK: Easy! It’s signed by Emmitt Smith. Not only was he the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, but most importantly he’s a GATOR. And there you have it . . . Driving Friendships!
BK: When did you get married then? RK: We dated for about four years total; then in 2002 we got married about a year after I had moved back to Dallas. BK: Ok let’s switch gears and talk cars. What was your first car? RK: Oh geez - it was my neighbor’s 1968 Plymouth Satellite; it had a 273 CI V8 and was metallic mint green. BK: So why Porsche? RK: Easy! What kid doesn’t dream of having one, and heck, Brumos was in Jacksonville! BK: First Porsche? RK: That was in 1990. It was an ‘86 944 Turbo and it was a Brumos dealer car. I actually had seen an ad for a 928; they were sitting next to each other. My friend who was with me said, “You know how expensive those water pumps are?” Well I bought the 944; I had it for three years. BK: Then what? RK: Well I had several other non-Porsche cars, including a Jeep. My next Porsche was the 1999 996, with a supercharger of all things. From there I sold it and bought a 2004 Signal Yellow C4S. During the same time as the ‘04 I bought an ‘86 944 Turbo, much like 21

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
If you’ve ever seen Bring-a-Trailer (bringatrailer.com) you know. If you haven’t, you probably shouldn’t. Its founder describes it as a place where “every car you see on the site is one we wish we could have”. Dangerous words in some households. Just the other day while checking my email I saw a car listed on BaT that resembled one I owned earlier in life and was drawn in to peruse the site I promise to quit over and over. It should be easy to unsubscribe from the emails, but it isn’t. It’s kind of like having junk food in the house. It did raise an interesting question though: why do we buy the cars we buy? Why do we want to even want to buy cars in the first place? To many buying a car is terrifying. But I’d wager we aren’t those people. It might get a little tense during negotiation, and we might second guess the leather wrapped climate controls, but by and large it’s an exhilarating experience eclipsed only by delivery and the drive home. But why do we buy what we buy, and why oh why do we need more than one? We’ve all heard the psychology of a collector: 40-60 years old buying what they longed for in high school.

deal. There are lots of other solid investments around, although paintings don’t make good noises. I’ve spoken to quite a few of you about why you chose Porsche. The reasons vary but are repeated: heritage, engineering, driving dynamics...but I think it comes down to one thing. The looks drew you in and the rest made you comfortable. Lust makes us do funny things. I swear I once bought a Volvo solely for the space ball shifter. We don’t shine up our new cars because it makes them more comfortable or worry about the patina on our old cars because it makes them faster. It’s because we just like what they look like. And that’s okay. No matter what got you into your Porsche, we’re glad you’re here. So go out there and live out your best Sixteen Candles or Steve McQueen Le Mans fantasy, we won’t judge. Just enjoy the drive.
