THE PRESIDENT’S COLUMN

ROD HERSBERGER

The PeTersen AuTomoTive museum hAs been busy This summer celebrating Porsche anniversaries and milestones. There is the yearlong commemoration of Porsche’s 75th birthday. Although I understand there is a rotating selection of cars, the day I went it seemed a little heavy on race cars. Some significant road cars like the 959, Carrera GT, the 911 R, the GT2, and the 2.7 RS were not on display.

Next, on July 9 the Petersen recognized the Boxster’s 30th anniversary with a cruise-in. It was the largest ever Boxster gathering and you can read my report elsewhere in this issue.

Finally, on August 27 it was the 911s turn to celebrate the most iconic, recognizable Porsches introduction at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1963.

Ferdinand Porsche’s grandson F. A. “Butzi” Porsche is given credit for the design, but he probably had some help. Many of you will know that Porsche

initially called this car the 901, but Peugeot already had the right to that number in Europe. How lucky for Porsche to have to change the badge to

Laguna and they were certainly worth the time and expense. Where else will you see more than 1,000 Porsches?

Porsche Santa Clarita has a nice museum under the showroom floor. The selection has some examples of important Porsches. The owner is the same family that has the Galpin empire on Roscoe Boulevard in San Fernando Valley.

With all the beautiful, curvy, and hilly backroads in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, you have lots of opportunities to exercise your Porsche. As I and others have, put together a small group of drivers, plan a good route, and end at a great lunch spot every week or ten days.

911. You can read coverage of the 911’s birthday in a future issue.

The Rennsport event at Laguna Seca at the end of September will also receive coverage in a future issue. I have attended all the Rennsports held at

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

someThing ThAT recenTly crossed my desk (figuratively speaking) has stayed with me: the notice of the exclusive use of biofuel at the Indianapolis 500. The race showcased how cutting-edge technology and environmental consciousness can blend into the world of motorsports. It’s good to read this given the steady flow of news and opinions about climate change and the immediate need for sustainability.

In 2023, the Indy 500 was the first United States-based motorsports series to power racing with 100% renewable race fuel. The fuel, developed by Shell, is a blend of second-generation ethanol derived from sugarcane waste and other biofuels. It is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60% compared to fossil-based gasoline. The use of biofuels here is a significant step toward reducing the environmental impact of motorsports.

In the March/April 2023 edition of this magazine, we noted Porsche is also engaged in moving toward biofuels in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup and in its Porsche Experience Center vehicles. Porsche’s project is a joint effort with Siemens Energy, ExxonMobil, Chilean oil and gas companies, and others. The goal is to be producing 145 million gallons a year by 2027. The end game for Porsche is to produce a fuel that can still be used in the internal combustion engines powering cars long after EVs and hybrids dominate the market.

There are other racing series and teams known for their involvement in using biofuels: some just starting.

Certain teams in Formula 1 have been testing and exploring the feasibility of using advance biofuels. NASCAR and some of its teams have been conducting research tests with biofuels as part of their “Green Initiative.” The IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship in North America is showing a commitment to sustainability by encouraging the use of biofuels, and some teams have gone along. The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), which includes the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans race, has been exploring the use of advanced biofuels in its Prototype class. While not using traditional biofuels, electric racing series like Formula E are contributing to sustainable motorsports by promoting electric mobility.

To make a difference in the big picture, however, biofuels will need to be in the mainstream. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that biofuels will account for 10% of global road transport fuel demand by 2030. This is up from 3% in 2020. But there are still many driving, as well as challenging, forces ahead.

• Climate change and environmental concerns have led to increased interest in renewable energy sources, including biofuels.

• Government policies and incentives: many countries have mandates for blending biofuels with conventional fuels, tax credits, subsidies, and research funding.

• Technological advances: continued research and development could

lead to more efficient and cost-effective ways of producing biofuels, along with advancements in feedstock selection, conversion processes, and distribution.

• Availability and sustainability of feedstocks is a crucial factor and can’t compete with food production or lead to deforestation.

• There are competing alternative fuels, such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells.

• Public perception and consumer acceptance will need to be widespread.

The use of biofuels at the Indy 500 is a positive step for the environment and the future of motorsports. It is a sign that the race industry is committed to reducing its environmental impact and finding more sustainable ways to power its vehicles. I won’t get into whether the motivation is primarily marketing and public relations. In the big picture, though, as Porsche owners with internal combustion engines in cars we want to keep on the road, encouraging research, production, and use of alternative fuels is a good thing, indeed.

The Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckhorn Experience A Drive to Remember

Story by LIONEL NEFF

Santa Barbara Region Porsche owners recently took a road trip, driving their iconic cars through wine country in the scenic Santa Ynez Valley and on to enjoy camaraderie and a delicious meal at the Cuyama Buckhorn Café.

The assembly began in the parking lot near Habit Burger at the Santa Barbara La Cumbre Plaza shopping mall. It was 9:30 a.m. on June 13 and the morning dew had lifted to a partially sunny day. The waivers were signed and pre-drive instructions given, with the proviso that there will be two groups, group one to be led by Lionel Neff and group two by SBR’s fearless leader, President Rod Hersberger. The fact that 35 cars were gathered in their launch positions, with their owners’ smiling faces in anticipation of a fun drive and a special meal awaiting them, required but one instruction: “Let’s Go.”

Our drive took us north on Hwy 154 (also known as the Chumash Highway) and over the San Marcos Pass and Santa Ynez Mountains. As we drove, the clouds lifted and the sun appeared as our escort for the rest of the drive. Of special note, Lake Cachuma came into clear view for us to realize how full the lake was due to this year’s welcome rainfall.

We continued for 30 miles where just past the town of Los Olivos we turned right onto Foxen Canyon Wine Trail for a spirited

ride over hill and dale, with many curves past wineries, verdant hillsides, and open farmland. The beauty of this landscape is timeless.

Our drive on Foxen Canyon continued until the 64-mile point where we turned right at Philbric Rd. (Or, I should clarify, actually LEFT after passing Philbric Rd. due to lack of signage, necessitating a subsequent U-turn. I might add that only the group led by myself made the fateful mistake that ultimately led to Rod’s group assuming the lead as Sue Hersberger, Rod’s navigator, was using her maps app on her cell phone.)

At the 68-mile point, the group turned right onto Bull Canyon and continued to Hwy 166 NE, the main highway that connects Santa Maria on the Central Coast to the Southern San Joaquin Valley at Hwy 99 in Mettler, Kern County. The weather and road conditions along Hwy 166 were an ideal 85 degrees. Our journey then took us to the edge of Twitchell Reservoir, which was also full from the winter rains. The view of the lake from the arched concrete bridge we crossed was magnificent.

The remainder of the drive took us past miles of open space punctuated by ranches and vast vineyards. We arrived at 12:30 p.m. at the Cuyama Buckhorn, an artfully-restored roadside café and resort in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s high desert. The staff was awaiting our arrival and led us to the two large dining rooms they had prepared. Our meals of tri-tip or chicken sandwiches, salads, and endless fries and onion rings satisfied our appetites and energized us for the drive home.

All-in-all, I am of the opinion everyone had a great time. I do so enjoy the company of the participants who take advantage of these events and the great group of individuals who constitute the Activities Committee and participate in, as well as help create, these events. Would you like to join these Porsche owners on their next road trip? Keep an eye out for our event flyers in this magazine and on our website.

Lionel Neff has been a member of PCA since 2020 and is SBR’s Activities Cochair. He drives a 2017 911 Turbo in GT Silver.

New Member Recognition Event

SBR’s 2023 Drive, Lunch, and Celebration

Story by DOREEN PANKOW

Every two years we hold a special event to recognize our newest members, those who joined the Santa Barbara Region over the past 24 months. The 2023 occasion was held on July 22.

Starting at the Porsche Santa Barbara dealership, we talked with friends and had time to meet many new members while enjoying delicious pastries, fruit bowls, and coffee, courtesy of the dealership. After the drivers meeting, we returned to our cars ready for the day’s adventure.

Sixty-five members driving 38 Porsches headed out with joy in their hearts, delighted to be driving their favorite car over some of southern California’s best back roads—on a beautiful summer day as well. Our route took us over San Marcos Pass and into the Santa Ynez Valley where we turned onto Foxen Canyon and Alisos Canyon roads to test our skills driving the scenic twisties through wine country. We continued west through Los Alamos on CA-135 and then north on CA-1, where we reached the Monarch Club, nestled among new homes and golf courses just west of the town of Nipomo.

At the Monarch Club, a delicious buffet awaited us with something for everyone, including salmon, filet mignon, and assorted side dishes. There was also delicious New York cheesecake drizzled with raspberry sauce to top off our scrumptious meal. At our tables, we caught up with old friends and enjoyed meeting more of the newer members, finding out more about their interests and what model of Porsche they’re driving now and others they have owned.

Following lunch, SBR President Rod Hersberger started the program to recognize our 19 newest members in attendance. The Santa Barbara Region officially became a PCA Region in June 1964 with 35 charter members. Our Region has now grown to over 1,200 primary members and affiliates.

After the introductions, President Rod and Advertising Chair Bob Clarke distributed an assortment of door prizes. (A few of the new members are shown on the following page.) Rod also acknowledged and thanked Henry and Paula Hinck, proprietors of Schneider Autohaus, and Rene Verbrugge, General Manager of Porsche Santa Barbara, for their support and donations for this event. Bob and Pat Howard from the PCA Central California Coast Region, and who are also members of the Monarch Club, were acknowledged for their help in securing the venue at a lower rate.

We all left that afternoon delighted to have met so many new members and looking forward to becoming closer friends. The drive back to Santa Barbara added to an all-around great day.

Doreen Pankow has been a member of PCA since 1997. She is past president of SBR and past Activities Chair, and remains active in club events. Doreen drives a 1995 Carrera in Midnight Blue.

THE 67TH ANNUAL PORSCHE PARADE: A CELEBRATION OF PORSCHE ENTHUSIASM

By Dennis Power

The 67th Annual Porsche Parade was a truly memorable event, bringing together Porsche enthusiasts from all over the country for a week of activities in the Palm Springs area. The parade featured a wide variety of auto-related events, including a concours d’elegance, a rally, an autocross, and social mixers. There were opportunities to meet friends, old

and new. Several members of the Santa Barbara Region attended, and several of us captured a few photos.

This photo album captures some of the highlights of the Parade. From the stunning cars on display to the camaraderie of the Porsche community, these images offer only a glimpse of one of the most exciting events in the Porsche calendar.

30 Years of Porsche Boxster Cruise-In

Story and photos by Rod and Susan Hersberger

The Petersen Automotive Museum’s recent Boxster Cruise-In was a celebration of all things Boxster, with over 200 of the iconic sports cars on display

After a largely unsuccessful foray into front-engine cars, 30 years ago Porsche returned to its roots. The famous German manufacturer developed a lightweight, mid-engine sports car and called it a Boxster, combining “boxer” engine with “roadster.” Unlike the 914, this car was unmistakably a Porsche. Although low on power, the lithe roadster handled extremely well and drew positive reviews for the design.

While not exactly mimicking a 550 or 718, these cars were the Boxster’s ancestors. Many say this car saved Porsche. For many years, Porsche deliberately kept the Boxster and its sister Cayman low on power so as not to threaten the 911’s supremacy. Now, by packing a GT3 engine in one of the variants of both the roadster and the coupe, Porsche has upped its game in the mid-engine genre.

On July 9, The Petersen Automotive Museum hosted a 30th anniversary Boxster cruise-in that drew a reported 211 cars. They represented all iterations of the Boxster and a great palette of colors. These Petersen-sponsored cruise-ins are always held on the 3rd floor of their parking structure. The 75th anniversary Porsche exhibit was on the same floor in the main museum. After having a Cayman S for a number of years, I now drive a Carmine Red 718 GTS Boxster. It was fun to be one of the participants in this historic cruise-in.

Smell Gas in an Old 911 or 912?

By Doug Anderson

Do you own an early 911 or 912 with carburetors? Smell gas? Well bubby—a rusted through fuel line could be your problem. Huh? Yep. The picture shows a section of my 1969 912’s fuel line held together with a white straw so the separation in the line is visible. So, where is this catastrophe waiting to happen? And, what is the path of the fuel line?

From the front-located fuel tank the line travels down the shift rod tunnel. At the tunnel rear, it pokes through the fire wall just to the left of the transmission and travels up and to the left, finally poking through a rubber plug located in a pipe welded in the left longitudinal frame rail under the car. It finally exits into the engine compartment from an upper rubber plug in the frame rail pipe.

It’s here that the mischief occurs. Over time, water enters the frame rail pipe, sits awhile, and rusts out the fuel line. The picture shows a portion of the fuel line located at the bottom of the plugged pipe. This

portion of the fuel line was immersed in water captured between the pipes two rubber plugs and consequently RUSTED THROUGH.

Hence, after parking, the mystery fuel smell occurred as fuel seeps dripped out.

The fix? Go to an auto parts store and get a length of easy to bend brake line approximately 8 mm O.D. (0.32”) in diameter. Cut a length measuring from the engine compartment through the frame rail to the existing factory fuel line above the transmission.

As a recommendation, remove the bottom frame rail plug and toss it. So, the fuel line might get wet. At least the frame rail pipe will not trap moisture and will be able to dry out.

The design was to protect and insulate the fuel line. HOWEVER, it also allowed the plugged longitudinal pipe to trap moisture, partially fill with water, and rust out the fuel line. Over time the pipe rusts out, leaks fuel into the plugged pipe and becomes a water and fuel reservoir from which the carburetors drew fuel and, in some cases, water.

A general comment about the Holy Factory’s water drain plugs: phooey! Just as Porsche’s wonderfully engineered head lamp bucket water “drain bush,” which clogs up with dirt, thus allowing water to puddle in the bucket and to rust out the head light bucket. Pull those plugs out too. Rust, the gift that keeps on giving. But remember, please replace them before you show your car at the next Pebble Beach Concours.

What’s Trending in the Porsche Auction Market Report

by David K. Whitlock

July’s Porsche market remained steady from its cooldown in June as we saw similar results, with 71% of the 529 cars offered throughout July selling for a total dollar volume of $29,105,785. Nineties Turbos led the month with three out of our top five sales, led by the $800,964 achieved by a 1994 911 Turbo S 3.6 Package car, followed by a 1997 911 Turbo S that sold for $560,000, both on Bring a Trailer.

The 964 Turbo market saw one other example offered, a 1993 Turbo 3.6, selling for $335,965. 993 Turbos were abundant, as we saw six examples across the auction with a sell-through rate of 67%. Aside from the Turbo S mentioned above, another notable example was a 1997 Turbo WLS 2 that sold for a strong $237,993. The WLS 2 package included larger turbochargers, an additional oil cooler, an optimized twinpipe sports exhaust system, and an upgraded Motronic engine control unit. The price was a new high for a 993 Turbo equipped.

Brand-new 992 Turbo S Cabriolets also had a strong month, with prices inching up again after a drop of about $30,000 year over year. Three examples sold north of $280,000, a price point we haven’t seen since June of 2022, with only one example selling for $227,000. The lower priced car had 764 miles on the odometer while the others were still delivery mileage examples with fewer than 100 miles.

But it wasn’t just Turbos making moves this month, as we had several notable G Body 911 sales. The high sale of the G Body group belonged to a 1975 911S Coupe with a clean, backdated look and a highly modified 3.8L engine. The color combination had Singer written all over it with the price paid of $277,500, a bargain compared to the reimagined 911s by Singer. We also saw a price of $145,000 for a very nicely restored 1974 911 Coupe finished in Grand Prix White over Midnight leatherette showing 62,000 miles. 356s had a strong July as well, at least those that sold,

as we saw another decrease in the sell-through rate, this time dropping from 64% to 56%. Leading the group was a 1962 356B Super 90 Coupe, finished in Ivory over Red that sold for just shy of a twelve-month high at $160,000. Other 356s in the $100k club included a 1964 356SC Cabriolet at $139,000, a 1964 356SC Coupe at $135,000, a 1956 356A 1600 Coupe at $126,500, and another 1964 356SC Coupe at $100,000.

992 GT3s continued their slide as not a single example sold for over $300,000 this month, the closest being a 2023 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed finished in Shark Blue with 1,588 miles selling for $299,000. PDKequipped models are falling the fastest, with a Shark Blue car with 1,862 miles selling for $231,000. Interesting that a wing and a transmission choice can cause a $60,000 price decrease, but that’s the market.

While I fully expected the 992 GT market to keep sliding, the most surprising slide of the month for me had to be the 996 Turbo market. Only 33% of the 996 Turbos on offer sold for the month, with no single example selling for over $70,000. These have been on a run for the last several months, so it will be interesting to see if July was just an off month or if the 996 Turbo market is taking a turn.

There will be lots to watch in the Porsche market as the summer ends, with many exciting cars coming up for sale in both Monterey and online. Bring a Trailer will offer some historic race cars from the WOB Porsche 75th Anniversary Race Car Collection and the Gruppe P Collection Part II, and of course, Monterey will have their usual docket full of significant Porsches as well. I expect our highest dollar volume this year, but we’ll have to wait and see.

One-of-a-kind 911 Classic Club Coupe hits the road for the first time

Special one-off creation showcases the capabilities of Porsche Sonderwunsch program

Palm Springs. The 911 Classic Club Coupe, sold during the Broad Arrow auction celebrating 75 years of Porsche sports cars at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, has been delivered to its new owner. Comedian and collector Jerry Seinfeld personally took possession of the one-off creation based on a 911 Carrera (996 generation) during the annual Porsche Parade being held by the club in Palm Springs, California. The 911 Classic Club Coupe is a one-of-one Sonderwunsch (special wishes) project completed by Porsche Classic in collaboration

Based on a 1998 911 Carrera, the chassis, brakes and engine in this sports car are taken from the 996.2 911 GT3, the first such model homologated for sale in the U.S. Accordingly, the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six generates 381 horsepower. The donor car, which PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen found in a state of neglect in Colombia, Virginia, traveled to the Porsche Classic workshop near the main plant in StuttgartZuffenhausen where it was originally built. There, it went through a complete restoration including total disassembly, and strengthening of the body-in-white using both original and newly developed parts.

with the Porsche Club of America (PCA). That this is a unique car will not surprise anyone who sees it, but a “No. 001/001” badge on the dashboard underscores its scarcity. A ducktail spoiler reminiscent of the 1972 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a double-bubble roof, 18-inch forged aluminum Fuchs wheels, and unique paint combine to create a striking resemblance to the Type 997 911 Sport Classic. Those looks are only part of the story.

300 cars confirmed to compete: Action-packed track program revealed for the Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7

One-of-a-kind 911 Classic Club Coupe hits the road for the first time

Special one-off creation showcases the capabilities of Porsche Sonderwunsch program

Palm Springs. The 911 Classic Club Coupe, sold during the Broad Arrow auction celebrating 75 years of Porsche sports cars at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, has been delivered to its new owner. Comedian and collector Jerry Seinfeld personally took possession of the one-off creation based on a 911 Carrera (996 generation) during the annual Porsche Parade being held by the club in Palm Springs, California

The 911 Classic Club Coupe is a one-of-one Sonderwunsch (special wishes) project completed by Porsche Classic in collaboration with the Porsche Club of America (PCA).

That this is a unique car will not surprise anyone who sees it, but a “No. 001/001” badge on the dashboard underscores its scarcity. A ducktail spoiler reminiscent of the 1972 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a double-bubble roof, 18-inch forged aluminum Fuchs wheels and unique paint combine to create a striking resemblance to the Type 997 911 Sport Classic. Those looks are only part of the story.

Atlanta. Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) unveiled a schedule of activities for the on-track action for Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7. The world’s largest gathering of Porsche enthusiasts will enjoy eight classes of legendary Porsche race cars spanning seven decades. The September 28 to October 1 event, held at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, will celebrate iconic racers from the past, through to the cutting edge of today, including the German marque’s most current international prototype racer, the 963, as well as

be the site of rounds 13 and 14 of the Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America featuring the mighty 911 GT3 Cup car. In addition to the track competition, boundless family friendly activities will be found around the Monterey, California property all four days.

Based on a 1998 911 Carrera, the chassis, brakes and engine in this sports car are taken from the 996.2 911 GT3, the first such model homologated for sale in the U.S. Accordingly, the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six generates 381 horsepower. The donor car, which PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen found in a state of neglect in Colombia, Virginia, traveled to the Porsche Classic workshop near the main plant in StuttgartZuffenhausen where it was originally built. There, it went through a complete restoration including total disassembly, and strengthening of the body-in-white using both original and newly developed parts.

A record number of entries are expected to take part in the track action within the eight groups. In addition, the Porsche Club of America (PCA) and exhibition car runs will join the Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America, the premier

one-make race series in the United States and Canada, to entertain enthusiasts of the German sports car manufacturer. The 2.238-mile track, famous for its signature “Corkscrew” turn, will offer nearly constant action from 8:00 a.m. through 6:30 p.m. each day.

As a Porsche enthusiast and proud original owner of a 1998 Boxster 986, I can confidently say that my journey with this remarkable machine has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the past 25 years, my dedication and commitment to maintaining and cherishing my beloved Boxster have allowed me to witness its enduring charm, exhilarating performance, and unwavering reliability. Today, I invite you to join me as I delve into the reasons behind my decision to keep this timeless sports car on the road for over 300,000 miles.

Regular Maintenance: To ensure the longevity and reliability of any vehicle, regular maintenance is crucial. The Porsche Boxster is no exception. Adhering to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, I have diligently serviced my car with meticulous care and never compromised on the quality of parts. This unwavering commitment has played a pivotal role in preserving the Boxster’s performance and extending its lifespan.

To give you an idea, in the 25 years of ownership I have:

• Changed the oil and oil filter 62 times using over 120 gallons of Mobil1 (Early on I installed a 3 qt Accusump)

• Replaced the sparkplugs 8 times (that’s 48 of them)

• Replaced the coil packs once (6 of them)

• Replaced the MAF 4 times

• Replaced 20 front tires and 38 rears. (not counting multiple sets of track tires)

• Replaced the suspension twice with Bilstein PSS9s

• Replaced the water pump three times

• Replaced the front engine mount 7 times

• Flushed the transmission 3 times

• Flushed the coolant 3 times.

• Replaced 10 sets of front brake rotors and 6 rears

• Replaced 18 sets of front brake pads and 10 rears (not counting racing pads for the track)

• Bled the brakes 83 times (a lot of track miles)

• Replaced all of the ball-joints in the front-end (once)

• Rebuilt the CVJ’s 3 times

The Bond Begins: It all started with a leap of faith when I first ordered it, sight unseen, in February 1997. The full one-year wait allowed me to get involved in the newly formed Internet Forums, in particular Porsche Pete’s Boxster Board (ppbb.com). Here I learned as much as I could on the new platform that was the first water-cooled production model Porsche offered.

From the moment I laid eyes on its sleek lines and heard the symphony in flat-6 of its engine, I knew I had found a lifelong companion. The thrill of the open road in a convertible, the incredible handling, the legendary brakes, and the feeling of being one with the machine formed an unbreakable bond between us.

Quality Engineering: Porsche’s commitment to quality engineering and attention to detail is truly remarkable. From the robust build quality to the precision of every component, the Porsche Boxster embodies the spirit of German automotive excellence. The combination of an efficient mid-engine layout, superb handling dynamics, and balanced weight distribution in a lightweight chassis creates an unparalleled driving experience that withstands the test of time.

• Installed the Direct Oil Feed kit at 100K miles (solved the IMS issue)

• Replaced the 5-speed transmission (it wore out at 190K)

• Replaced the engine (under warranty at 20K miles) (The original engine had one of the porous blocks)

• A myriad of other services (proactive and reactive) According to my records, I have spent about the same as what the car cost in parts and service items over the last 25 years.

Upgrades and Enhancements: Over the years, I have embarked on a journey of continuous and neverending improvement and personalization. Upgrades such as performance enhancements, suspension, and brakes modifications, as well as aesthetic interior and exterior refinements have not only enhanced the driving experience but also allowed me to create a unique expression of my personality within the car. This ability to adapt and evolve with my Boxster has deepened our connection and made every (s)mile a celebration.

This little Porsche has been the test-bed for most of the parts that I’ve developed for my business. It’s where I get to test them and make sure that they work as advertised. I owe my current business (PedrosGarage.com) to this car!

Genuine Passion: Owning a Porsche Boxster is more than just owning a car; it’s a lifestyle fueled by passion. This passion is the driving force behind my dedication to keeping my beloved Boxster on the road. Whether it’s meticulously maintaining and upgrading, engaging in spirited drives through my favorite back roads, or participating in Porsche Club events, the experience is enriched by the shared enthusiasm of fellow Porsche owners.

Was it worth it?: Emotionally it certainly has been worth it. I always joke that I’ve never needed to see a therapist because my Boxster is my therapy and I take it regularly. Economically, let’s see. As I said before, I have spent approximately the same in parts and materials over the lifespan of the car as it cost me originally, totaling $100,000. $52,000 original cost plus approximately $48,000 in parts and service items.

So, if we look at it by time, $100,000/25 years = $4,000 per year . That’s $333.33 per month. If we look at it by miles driven, $100,000/300,000 miles = $0.33 per mile, and that’s half of what the IRS accepts as a standard mileage rate for transportation!

Conclusion: The love story between me and my Porsche Boxster has spanned a quarter of a century and over 300,000

miles. The unwavering reliability, exhilarating performance, and timeless design have made this journey an unforgettable one. By adhering to regular maintenance, embracing the passion that comes with owning a Porsche, and personalizing the driving experience, I think that I have unlocked the true potential of this remarkable sports car.

As I reflect on the countless memories, adventures, and milestones we have shared, I am grateful for the decision to keep my beloved Boxster as a faithful companion. It serves as a testament to the enduring quality of Porsche engineering and the profound joy that can be found in the pursuit of automotive passion.

So, if you find yourself wondering whether to embark on a similar journey of longevity and love with your beloved P-car, I can assure you that it’s a decision you won’t regret. The road may be long, but the rewards are endless, and the memories are truly priceless.

By the time this article gets published the odometer will be reading over 310K (smiles). For more information on the Boxster and more, please visit my website: www.PedrosGarage.com.

The Nethercutt Collection

Thursday, November 9, 2023

In 1923, J. B. Nethercutt moved from South Bend, Indiana, to live in Santa Monica with his aunt (the founder of Merle Norman Cosmetics). His love of cars began in 1956 and with resources at hand his collection grew. It is colossal today.

SBR’s November event is a guided tour of the extraordinary Nethercutt Collection, an extensive assemblage of absolutely dazzling automotive treasures. We meet at the Moorpark Target parking lot at 8:15 a.m., depart at 8:45, and arrive by 9:30 at The Collection in Sylmar (15151 Bledsoe St.). If the twohour guided tour isn’t enough, walk across the street to The Nethercutt Museum for a self-guided tour of a second outstanding collection.

There are a few simple rules they ask us to honor, such as children must be 10 or older and no food or beverages in the exhibit areas. The meeting location and more details will be sent to registrants. Register at msreg.com/nethercutt. The cost is $22 per person, including the SBR activity fee. For questions about the event contact Steve Geldman at imagerep@gmail.com. For questions about registration contact Art Shinn at artshinn@gmail.com
