JULY 2020

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: Make Plans for Porsche Parade 2021 by Carey Spreen, Region VP The Coronavirus has, of course, created new records for firsts. One notable first is that 2020 is the first time that the Porsche Parade has been cancelled in its 65-year history. The organizers held out as long as they could before making that decision, but the writing was on the wall; it would have been too dangerous to bring over 1,500 PCA members and guests together for the numerous banquets, seminars, parties, and get-togethers that comprise the Parade. The competitive events, in hindsight, probably could have been put on in relative safety. The Concours d’Elegance, typically held on a large golf course, would have made for practical social distancing measures to be in place for competitors and spectators alike. The TSD Rally is not a spectator event, and the driver/navigator pairs in each car are largely couples, and the exceptions to that rule of thumb know each other well enough to trust that their partner would bow out if they suspected that they were infected. The two-day Autocross does allow spectators, but there is enough room at the outdoor venue (usually an airport or very large parking lot) to allow safe distances between the fans, the workers, and the competitors. The fourth competitive event is the Technical and Historic Quiz, which is held in a large conference room or ballroom, again with enough room for everyone to stay six feet apart. But it was not to be for 2020. However, we’re already looking ahead to 2021, when the Porsche Parade will be held at the French Lick Resort in French Lick, IN, which is roughly a 12-1/2 hour drive from the D/FW area. If French Lick sounds familiar, it may be because it was the site of the 2015 Parade as well. It was one of the more scenic Parade venues, not the least of which was the resort itself, which has been in operation for over 100 years. The resort actually consists of two hotels a couple of miles apart: the French Lick Springs Hotel and the West Baden Springs Hotel. Porsche Parade attendees occupy both hotels, and the various Parade events are split between the two locations.

So if you have never attended a Porsche Parade, or if you haven’t been to one in a while, make plans to attend next year. Keep in mind also that the Parade won’t be this close to D/FW again until 2024! The dates have not been finalized yet, but it will take place sometime in late June or early July. It’s a gorgeous venue, and a great way to meet fellow PCA members from all over North America, as well as representatives from Porsche AG. Meanwhile, Texas is finally starting to open back up, so stay safe and come on out to a Maverick Region event to see what PCA is all about!

MAV OF THE MONTH: Mike O’Hare Mike has been with the PCA close to 4 years. Right from the green light he kicked it into high gear and became very active in many activities and always lending a hand. Mike is a friendly face always welcoming Mavs at our event and giving a fun greeting to any PCA Jr. that may also be attending. Mike’s love for Porsche and Auto Racing can be seen either by the smile on his face when driving his 991 GT3, or his amazing collection of die-cast race cars. Mike has had some great ideas for our club’s Tech Sessions which is why he teamed up to help Co-Chair those events. Mike also recently took on a fun task of running our Weekly Online Trivia “Porschephile Prufung” (Porsche Exam) to give us all something fun to do during the COVID19 sheltering-inplace time. Mike has come up with some great and interesting questions to stump us. Each week he would announce a winner for “bragging rights” and post another question. These are things that bring us together by Driving Friendships and more reasons how our club stays Fueled By Volunteers. Please join me in Congratulating Mike as our Maverick of the Month. 2 July

Our response to COVID-19

Maverick Region COVID Communication chair, Wendy Shoffit I know… If you’re anything like me, you’re tired of hearing about COVID-19. You’re tired of talking about it and certainly tired of hearing how everyone in the universe is handling this situation. The reality of it is that this coronavirus will be a part of our lives at least for the next year or so. I’m tired of cancelling all my fun events and having this illness affect my business and my livelihood to the extremes. Yes, I know I shouldn’t be grousing about this, but the reality is it has made a significant impact on all of us. I think it’s okay to be sad about the losses and STILL do the right thing by following the protocols that other government officials and experts have deemed to be the safest for us. The Porsche Club of America has nearly ground to a halt. Talk about non-essential activities? While I might feel like my oxygen has been cut off if I can’t drive fast and autocross or DE, no one in government finds that essential. Go figure! So, as restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and eventually stores start reopening in Phases, we also have to start to adapt to our changed environment. We have to do it safely to protect those most at risk, but still understand that we as human beings need other human beings for our mental well being. While we can’t necessarily shake hands and hug each other, even being the socially distanced 6 feet apart feels like a breath of fresh air. I welcome it and am eager to find out exactly what this “new normal” looks like for Maverick Region. Drives will have reduced attendees, As we slowly start having as will rallies. We’re events again, I wanted going to give virtual to assure you that we are tech sessions a try and meet up for taking many precautions to cautiously coffee. We will respect protect everyone. social distancing rules as much as possible and have things like hand sanitizer and (if they can be sourced) masks available. Each event type will be coming up with their own set of protocols to ensure they are taking care of entrants. PCA National has outlined much of this for us and we will adapt additionally, as needed.

National is also concerned about what could turn into a lawsuit frenzy. You’ve probably heard of the lawsuit filed against Walmart by a family of an employee who contracted COVID-19. There are likely to be other attempts as time progresses. Well, we want our people to be protected from any sort of lawsuit that could arise where people think they contracted this virus during one of our events. So, as a protective measure, they’ve created a required communicable disease waiver for everyone to sign at our upcoming activities. It’s a single page and you only have to sign it one time to be covered through May 15, 2021. This is a safety precaution for US as we try to resume PCA life. This waiver will be sent out to everyone who pre-registers for events. Printed blanks will also be available at check in for those who might not be able to print them at home. We are working on a system to track who and when you’ve signed the waiver to keep you from having to sign it multiple times if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to ever sign the waiver, that’s okay. You don’t have to come to events. If you are in a high risk category and don’t feel like this is worth it, we respect that and will see you when you do feel comfortable. We won’t love you any less. The rest of us will press on and try to find whatever OUR “new normal” is.

So, when an event comes up and you want to attend, be prepared to sign this waiver. Please don’t give our volunteers a hard time if they insist you sign it in order to be there. They’re just doing their jobs. We will, of course, keep doing everything we can to protect everyone in attendance, like the world has been doing since this pandemic started. Be safe, be well, be happy!

YOU’RE INVITED: 2020 All Member Party by Debi Kruder We are excited to announce that our previously-scheduled March All Member Morning has been rescheduled to Sunday, August 16 and will not disappoint! Over 350 Mavericks drove at least 40 miles for last year’s “Alle Mitglieder,” our annual All Member social, to get to what proved to be worth the drive for an amazing All Member Morning, two events for over 3000 members! This year’s registrations are topping that number, proving to be our largest Maverick gathering in history! The morning kicks off with a first driving tour enjoying 45 miles of pure country bliss. Enjoy the cattle ranches and horse farms among the roar of more than 100 engines while traveling through the towns of Van Alstyne, Weston, Celina, Pilot Point, Tioga, and finally arriving at our destination: Gunter, TX. Tour begins at 9:30 am departing Van Alystne on the beloved FM 455 and registration is $5 per Porsche. Registration is filling fast so register today. And what waits in Gunter? Well the 2020 All Member Brunch begins at 11 am at One Preston Event Center Carriage House, Chapel, and Victorian Estate. The property will leave you speechless. It’s a gorgeous space with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and barn doors overlooking acres of lush landscaping with great patios and the largest number of Porsches you are sure to see in one place!

6 July

Our Porsche flags will line the drive and our Maverick volunteers will greet you to assist in parking. As you walk around the circle drive you will see the gorgeous fountain and enter the barn door, immediately smelling a most delicious country breakfast bar, including eggs, smoked applewood bacon, sausage patties, breakfast potatoes, and fresh seasonal fruit. What was last year’s crowd favorite? The Southern Biscuit Bar, and we’ve made sure to double our order of the warm biscuits, buttermilk fried chicken, and all the toppings! Mingle, eat, and enjoy the Bubbly Bar and Bloody Marys as we welcome our new members too! Nearly a third in attendance last year were new members, and it’s the perfect place to meet and get connected with club opportunities. Our Maverick officers and chair representatives will be on site to showcase the fall and winter 2020 events we are so excited about. Rumor has it our new President, Bill Kruder, will also be introducing a new Maverick award, Crest Club, that’s sure to make the All Member Morning extra special too! New members are our special guests with FREE registration discount codes available, email socials@mavpca.org and a Maverick goodie bag to make them feel welcome too! So, do you want to spend August 16 with nearly 400 Mavericks on a casual country morning at one of the most talked about events of 2020? Register today!

Deafening Silence: 2020 Taycan by Greg Dranow The year 2020 has arrived. While most (if not all) of us had plans and expectations for the year, this diverse petrol Porsche driver neither planned or expected to be joining the ranks of electric car owners or drivers. Yes, I was the guy who would activate the Sport Exhaust and drop down a couple of gears to flex some Stuttgart muscle to millennial Prius drivers as I smiled with a sense of immature and juvenile satisfaction. And if in a tunnel? Bonus!! Not sure if it was the effects of Covid, boredom, curiosity, or a combination of all three, but seeing the new Taycan 4S at the dealership got my attention. Having driven the Taycan Turbo S briefly prior, I had already felt an odd sense of familiarity and wanted more. Negotiations to put this Taycan 4S in my garage got underway. A few hours later, we drove off in near silence, yet still getting to 60 in well under four seconds. First ownership impressions, I must say, were not terribly

photos provided by author impressive. While the dealership was helpful in assisting with the basics, being so reliant on technology to do just about everything was somewhat challenging. From charging (a

Stupid fast acceleration making a month and just over a whirring sound that sounds like something out of 700 miles.

Star Wars! Without gears, the power is linear. And the handling is pure Porsche. Weighing in at just under 5000 pounds, it’s anything but a featherweight; however, it handles as if it were on rails. And this weight and long wheelbase are very

What it seems to be is Porsche’s future and we can all agree that the future is not the past. Looking forward, I say Porsche engineers did a great job and the design team also impressed. Now, while the Taycan sits in the garage charging, it seems a great time to take the 6-speed Boxster out for dinner . . . 9

Mavs & Mochas: June 13 at Turbo Coffee by Robert Turner

photos provided by Richard Arce, Landon Stogner & Scott Sheetz months have been tough on everyone. It was great to celebrate togetherness once again, if for just a few hours, in a parking lot at a joint called Turbo Coffee. Me? I think they should change the name to Porsche Turbo Coffee. It’d be our Mav region home! See you all at the Mavs & Mochas at Montgomery Plaza in Fort Worth. We are celebrating the color yellow. So calling all yellow Porsches! Yes, that means you LMNHED.

Turbo Coffee? You’ve got to be kidding me. Turbo and Coffee colliding together at an actual venue? Yep, pretty much. So, I am thinking this is a place that Porsches should hang out. Not sure if it’s coincidence or irony, but it was also Porsche Turbo day too. Prophetic? Nah. Just good timing. After a long hiatus, Mavs & Mochas is back, and with a vengeance. Over 140 cars showed up and it was a smorgasbord of Porsches too. Yes, pun actually intended, as there was a version of the infamous Pink Pig, except in 930 clothing. This was a celebration of the Porsche Turbo. And over 25 showed up. There were 930s, 993s, 996s, 997s,

Not bad for my 1st event. Great time seeing incredible cars and meeting amazing people. Look forward to meeting more of you on the next one. - Richard Arce

991s, and there may have been a few other “9’s” involved, but I think we covered them all. Several months of social distancing and shut-ins did not detour our Maverick Region faithful. Oh hell no. We turned out in droves. The weather helped: typical Texas sunny and warm. We were greeted with bright orange cones as Matt Wilson (Mavs & Mochas Co-Chair par excellent) and his team set up spacing so our cars would not be stacked too close together, also meaning that the drivers of said cars would not be stacked too close together. We did pretty well, and appropriate spacing was, for the most part, followed by everyone (I did see one actual hug – calling you out Jan!) But cars kept showing up and showing up, more and more Porsches piling into the Turbo Coffee parking lot, spilling (cars, not coffee) into the back reaches of the lot. Bill Kruder, our Region President, was beaming; he was happy to see so many Mavs coming out. And he Debi Kruder, Julia Cleath and Phyllis Gallegos should be happy. As a region we are sporting their Porsche for a cause Breast Cancer socially active, and these past few Awareness shirts, available at M&M!

Driving Down Padre Island National Seashore - In a Porsche by Carey Spreen You may not be aware that the Texas General Land Office (GLO) passed the Texas Open Beaches Act in 1959, which states “The public . . . shall have the free and unrestricted right of ingress and egress to and from the state-owned beaches.” In many cases, this includes vehicular access, which the GLO considers a primary means of access to many Texas beaches.

One outstanding example of this right to drive on the beach is the Padre Island National Seashore (which I will hereafter refer to as PINS), the entrance to which is located about 30 miles southeast of downtown Corpus Christi. PINS extends south from this point about 60 miles, where it ends at the southernmost tip of Padre Island (not to be confused with South Padre Island, which is only about 500 feet to the south across the Mansfield Channel, but not accessible from PINS). All 60 miles are drivable beach, and a great way to spend a day (or more) on the Texas Gulf Coast. Of course, since this is the Porsche Club, Sue and I decided to drive our 2008 Cayenne (the base model with the 3.6-liter VR6) to this unusual destination, although any four-door all-wheeldrive Porsche is easily capable of the journey. Being enthusiasts of so-called “blue” highways (secondary roads that used to be identified on paper maps with blue lines), we avoided I-35 and I-37 once we passed Waco, following smaller state and US highways down to Palacios, TX, then picking up State Highway 35 (not I-35) south and following it through Port Lavaca and Aransas Pass to Corpus Christi. There we stayed in a hotel not far from the Intracoastal Waterway, the body of water that separates Padre Island from the mainland. Upon leaving the paved park road and entering the beach, I stopped, put the Cayenne in neutral, and flipped the lever to low range. That’s one unique feature of the first-generation Cayennes (2003 to 2010) – they only have a 6-speed Tiptronic S (not counting the 1.8% of base models and GTSs that were sold with 6-speed manuals), but they have dual range, a locking center differential, and an optional locking rear differential. By the way, redline in sixth gear in low range is about 60 mph, so don’t try it on the highway! In the accompanying photos, you may notice that the Cayenne 16 July

sports high-profile off-road tires. Before we struck out on this journey, we weren’t sure how deep the sand was going to be, so we opted to drive down on our off-road tires on 17-inch wheels, instead of 40-series street tires on 20-inch wheels (what, doesn’t everybody have two sets of wheels for their Porsches?). But as it turns out, the street tires would have worked just fine. The majority of vehicles on the beach were Jeeps and fourwheel-drive pickup trucks, but we also saw Ford Focuses and Buick Regals happily cruising up and down the wet packed sand on their all-season tires. Anyway, the first few miles of beach had lots of traffic (most of which was traveling above the posted 15-mph speed limit), but past the 5-mile marker, the crowds thinned out, and by mile marker 16, there were no beachgoers for as far as the eye could see in either direction. We pulled in toward the dunes out of traffic, put up the shelter, and enjoyed the day. Later that afternoon, we were ready to head back to the hotel, so after packing up, we faced north and drove back up the beach. At mile 15 there was a turnoff that led to an overnight camping area, so we detoured to see what it looked like. There was about 200 feet of loose, dry sand between the beach and a gravel road on the other side of the dunes. This made the Cayenne’s AWD system work a little bit, but we never felt like we were going to get stuck; to make sure, though, we kept up our momentum until we were back on solid ground. We passed a large overlanding group on the way out; there were probably ten or twelve vehicles and lots of tents in an enclave. It looked like they had spent the night and were going to spend another one before they left. That got me thinking that a group of fourdoor Porsche enthusiasts might enjoy a similar excursion to the Gulf Coast. Any takers? On Monday we took a different route back to D/FW, still on blue roads, with the exception of State Highway 130, the toll road from Seguin to Georgetown that boasts an 85-mph speed limit in its southern half (it drops to 80 near Circuit of the Americas). We couldn’t pass that up! The point of this story is that your four-door Porsche is capable of going places that you might not have considered. The next time you have the opportunity, take your Cayenne, Macan, or even your Panamera 4 off the beaten path. You might be surprised at how well it’ll do! Just remember that the sand gets everywhere . . . .

Autocross Series: Event 4, Lone Star Park, May 24 by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair Covid-19 pandemic directives have started to relax enough to start getting back to the real driving fun again. We had a total of 92 entries and 552 timed runs, averaging 122 runs per hour. Equipe Rapide, our Autocross partner, adjusted to appropriate cautions such as required masks to enter the building and when closer to others, social distancing, preregistering limited to 100 drivers, inside-car self tech, no loaner helmets provided, bringing your own water, no spectators invited, no in-car instruction or ride-alongs, equipment wipe-downs between users, only two workers in the timing trailer, the announcer stationed in another vehicle, and no post-event trophy presentations. For the most part, everyone on site was courteous and respectful, followed the special rules appropriately, and adapted to make it work for all of us. The course was a very fast sweeper layout with two slalom sections. The forecast warned of heavy rain and thunderstorms that held off until after the last cars finished. Entrants were split into three run/work groups with the Porsche Classes driving in group one. We had 13 Porsches that fit into four of our classes. Igor Tulandin continues to scare everyone with how quick he is driving his Cayenne GTS in class P0, splitting the other Porsche P0 - 'PCA Zero' 1T P0 958 P1 - 'PCA 1' 1T P1 954 2T P1 914 3 P1 5 4 P1 9 P2 - 'PCA 2' 1T P2 47 2T P2 7 3 P2 81 P3 - 'PCA 3' 1T P3 428 2T P3 11 3 P3 89 4 P3 981 5 P3 98

Maverick Marktpreis is proudly sponsored by:

Maverick Marktpreis: Auctions by Peter Wen Two years ago this feature article with a funny German title, Marktpreis, or Market Price, was born. The objective was to inform our members about Porsche pricing trends. Multiple resources were referenced each month including Excellence magazine’s annual Porsche Buyer’s Guide and Hagerty’s Vehicle Valuation Tool. While these tools are very handy and easy to use, they are not complete without actual sales data. For that, we turn to the auction sites, bringatrailer.com (BAT) and pcarmarket.com. BAT is a very popular digital 24/7 auction platform to buy and sell classic, collector, and enthusiast vehicles. At any given time, more than 40 Porsches are up for auction. Lively real time comments from the seller, potential buyers and the peanut gallery make every auction a spectator event. Go check it out at https:// bringatrailer.com/porsche/. The past auction results are listed at 2017 Macan GTS

Similar to BAT, all cars go through a vetting process and have to be accepted for auction. Live comments are permitted. One unique feature is the Deal Tank. This is where you can make offers to buy cars that did not meet Reserve for up to 30 days. Last checked on pcarmarket.com on 5/30, there were 18 live auctions and 98 Porsches in the Deal Tank. View auction results here: https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/completed/. These two websites are great tools to add to your toolbox. The car selections are top notch.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder So I don’t even know where to begin this month. Normally I tell you how I met someone at an event and the rest is history. Well it’s safe to say I knew Wendy and James long before they knew who this old man was. Matter of fact, I watched their daughter Jasmine grow up via Slipstream. Speaking of Jasmine, she is now wrapping up her degree in Interactive Game Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. What’s even better? PCA has recognized her and she recently joined the club with all her years of membership having endured her parent’s club journey. Ok, back to the story. I joined PCA in 1996 and think I first started reading about these two right away from all the events they attended. In 2000 it all began with them taking on the Newsletter Editor position. Then for the next 15-16 years, while I am missing in action, I’m watching these two take on one leadership role after the other. Matter of fact they both not only volunteer or run for office once, they have a history of serving in most positions four times! How about this for a Maverick first family? In 2001 they were awarded PCA Family of the Year. Then in 2005, Wendy was awarded Mav of the Year along with PCA Enthusiast of the Year. James (not too shabby himself) was awarded Mav of the Year in 2010 and in 2017 Past President David Robertson created the James Shoffit Mav of the Year award in his commemoration. Unlike my normal short opening where I would say “so, here is the next in my series of conversations I would like to share with you….” frankly this couple earned a grand entrance and is just too big a deal not to list everything they have done for our club. 20 July

photos provided by author 2000 Editor: Wendy and James Shoffit 2001 & 2002 President: James Shoffit 2001, 2002, 2005 & 2006 Editor: Wendy Shoffit 2007 & 2008 President: James Shoffit 2009 thru 2012 Zone Rep: James Shoffit 2011 thru 2015 PCA National Newsletter Chair: Wendy Shoffit 2015 thru 2017 Secretary: Wendy Shoffit So, let me recap for you: between them they have been President FOUR times, Editor FOUR times, Zone Rep FOUR times, and Secretary THREE times (and it’s not FOUR yet as they aren’t finished!) Oh wait - they have attended 19 Parades too. Matter of fact, in 2004, when it was held in Fort Worth, James added the technology to scoring that is still used today. So NOW here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you:

James and Wendy Shoffit, members since 1997 Owner 1978 911SC, 2016 Cayman GT4, and 2017 Macan Turbo Bill Kruder: So where are you from? Wendy Shoffit: I was born in southern California in Escondido; it’s about 30 miles northeast of San Diego. My dad was in the Navy

out there. We then moved back to Fort Worth where I went to school. I went to Dunbar Magnet High School for Science and Engineering. James Shoffit: Not many know this but I was born in Cairo; no, not the one down by Beaumont, but THE Cairo in Egypt. My dad was in the oil service business and we moved a lot; how about 22 countries in my first two years (smiling big). When we returned stateside, we lived in Utah and Wyoming and then we settled in Sherman, TX when I was about 11 years old. BK: Let’s talk college? WS: I attended A&M for a year, then James happened (laughing). JS: I went to UNT and earned a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Math. BK: Hmm, sounds like there is story there. How did you two meet then, being so far apart? WS: Well first of all let’s be clear: he is older (laughing). We are both

into computer stuff, and there was this on-line chat called RELAY where we met and talked all night as I remember. So we dated for three months before he popped the question, and then married nine months later in 1991. Hence, I only attended A&M one year as James was too good to pass up (smiling). BK: And he concurs, I might add.

BK: So have you always lived here then? WS: No, in 1992-94 we lived in Pennsylvania. James took a job with ICI Explosives and I took a job with a law office as an administrative assistant based on the computer skills I had. JS: It’s while with ICI that I learned SAP which would later be what I built my own business on. WS: Then in 1994 we moved back, settling in Irving, where we still live in our first and only house. BK: Ok, let’s talk cars. What was your first car? JS: Mine was a 1966 VW bug. It was the same car that my parents drove to the hospital when I born in Cairo. I drove it all through high school. WS: My first two were kind of interesting; the first was my grandparents’ 1976 Caprice Classic, followed by a custom Dodge van. Yes, a VAN. BK: How about your first Porsche? JS: That was our 1990 (964) C4 Cab, white with a black top over camel, Wendy insisted on it (grinning). WS: Well it’s true. He was driving a Mitsubishi 3000GT and we had just had Jasmine. This was 1997 and we couldn’t fit a car seat in the back. Just so happened Porsche made a car seat and the rest is history (laughing). BK: So why the Cab?

JS: My dream car was a slant nose turbo cab; we found this one in the paper. And if you can’t have your dream car, a 964 C4 kind of works: 0-60 in about 5 seconds, 8.5 seconds later it is at 102, and tops out at 157 mph. Those that know me know the one thing I like is speed. BK: How about the 911SC? JS: We bought the 1978 in 2000 to solely track it; we still have it and store it in our garage at MotorSport Ranch. BK: So where did this love for Porsche and speed come from? WS: Well, my family was more into, I guess you would say, American muscle, so I blame James for the Porsche. JS: As a kid I would go into a dealer and read all the magazines about them. My dad loved them but couldn’t afford one, hence his VW. BK: So how did you two get so interested in autocross and the track? WS: When we lived in PA a friend of ours autocrossed, and once I saw it I thought “I like that!” JS: I have always liked to drive fast and there is no better place to do that than in a controlled environment. Matter of fact, I was so hooked on it I Club Raced for 13 years. BK: Share with me again the GT4 story. I know it’s been told, but the Readers Digest version will do. WS: We had just taken ownership of our GT4 from David Loder at Porsche Plano. We had put like 50 miles on the car before heading out to Rennsport Reunion V. So we head out, obeying the required 2000-mile break in period. We arrive and we parked on “Cayman Island.” As luck would have it, Porsche wanted to film a commercial in a GT4, but didn’t want to use their own. So they used our car as the sample car, which they took out on the track, driven by Mark Weber, Earl Bamber, Jochen Mass, and Derek Bell. When they were all finished up we had them all sign the underside of the hood, along with Jeff Zwart, Patrick Long, and Andreas Preuninger. And there you have it . . . 23 years and still continuing to Drive Friendships! Thank you, James and Wendy Shoffit, for a great Maverick legacy! 21

Toy Tuesday: What else to do when you aren’t driving forward by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor It seems like only yesterday that we were cooped up at home (garage) with nothing to do but play with our toys both large and small. Like any good collectors, many of us just can’t stop and find ourselves with “reminders” of our passion sprinkled through house and home. Club President Bill Kruder likes to keep us engaged and alert with social media challenges. These were some of the member submissions of a recent “Toy Tuesday”. I’d say we have a problem, but I don’t think it’s really a problem just yet.

Good Samaritan Canned Food Drop-Off by Jimmy Gallegos, Region Charity Chair It was one of the first sunny weekends of the Covid-19 quarantine, and several events were planned for the Memorial Day weekend, which included Mavs canned food drop off and cash donations for Good Samaritans in Garland. Several Mavs dropped off canned food totaling 523 pounds and a generous $600.00 in cash donations. With the club matching donation of $500.00 we were able to donate $1100.00 to a very worthy cause. One of our members drove all the way from Weatherford just to donate canned food! Good Samaritans volunteers were busy sorting canned goods, but Director Pam Swendig made sure we had help collecting canned food from our members. Special thanks go to Good Sam volunteer Johnny, who is a regular volunteer at the agency and was great help to our members. Good Samaritans of Garland, “Good Sam,” was formed in 1983 from an alliance of several Garland faith communities with the intent to provide centrally-located services for neighbors in need of assistance and providing food with kindness and compassion to hungry and food-insecure neighbors living in Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse. In May 2020 Good Sam served 3,715 people and assisted 3,078 families. “Many of Good Sam’s housed families are caregivers for elderly parents, raising grandchildren, disabled, or facing a family emergency or other unexpected life challenge. In many circumstances, assistance is temporary and extremely valuable in helping families move forward through a difficult time. Often, food assistance reduces anxiety and helps families from falling further into overwhelming need and hopelessness.” The event turned out very well for Good Samaritans and will enable them to serve many people who are in need especially during this 2020 pandemic. Pam and her team work very hard every day to help the communities and make all donations count for the communities. The drop off canned food and cash donations events will continue as people are in more need than ever before. Thank you for your generosity and let’s continue to give back to our communities! 28 July

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

I did it. I put an electric Porsche on the cover. It used to be that we only needed to decide between two camps and now there seem to be three. Are you air-cooled, watercooled or electric? Such strange days. It’s subtle I know. You might not even notice it, but it’s there whether we like it or not. Electric cars are coming faster and faster now, both literally and figuratively. I have so many questions. How will they change motorsport, and collecting, and heck even commuting. But more importantly how will they change the road trip? I know to many of us a road trip brings back memories of the back of a van or station wagon, roadside stands of peaches or pecans or Indian jewelry, and of course the all of the new and unknown restaurants along the way. The only thing our parents planned were the hotels at the end of the day. The rest was an adventure. But unless those peach stands have a charge port, I think those days could be numbered. Life with batteries is going to have to be a whole lot more structured for a while. It’s kind of bleak; there are only so many times I can stop at Collin Street Bakery on the way to Houston to charge my Tesla. (Editors note: the mention of a Tesla if for illustrative purposes only. I don’t have one, don’t really want one

and don’t know where else you can charge on the way to Houston.) It’s not all doom and gloom though; with autonomous driving getting better and better, we can now play the alphabet game and “would you rather” with the family without worrying about our attention wandering from our driving. Such joy. I guess as long as my new automated pilot takes the corners quickly I’ll learn to adapt. I want to get serious for a moment. As I mentioned earlier, these are strange days. Just as we have different opinions about which are the best Porsches and whether or not we’re ready for an all electric road trip, we have different opinions about issues that we are facing today both collectively and individually. Life has changed. People have feelings and opinions that might not marry up with our own. But without people, we have cars in a garage. We need to take care of each other now more than ever. My hope is that we’ll be able see past the cars and the opinions and see each other a little more clearly. Anyway, I hope that you and yours are well, and that you’ve had time to take care of those “someday” projects. I’m going to make sure my tank is topped up and ready to go and Enjoy the drive.
