Long time member and Past President of LVRPCA Ed Pasini passed away on Oct 5 of this year just 6 weeks before his 91st birthday. He is survived by his sister, Janet, son Barry and his wife Katy.

Born and raised in the Los Angeles, he graduated from USC with a degree in Accounting and upon retirement in 1997 wisely relocated to Las Vegas.

Ed was very definitely a “CAR GUY”. His career focused on auto dealerships. The renowned Longo Toyota dealership was a customer. When Mr. Longo passed away his family wanted to sell the business. Ed was part to the team that sold it to Roger Penske. Longo Toyota [...]

While my High School classmates in the 70’s were buying used Mustangs or Camaros as their first car mine was a Red 1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1300. 50HP of fun and simple enough to fix most anything that broke. Later I “upgraded” to a 1972 Super Beetle, all of 15HP increase but it was yellow so that made it faster. I have been hooked on German cars since. 

I favor older cars and  have owned a number of Audi’s, Mercedes, and Porsche’s over the years. Not a collector, never had the money or room, more that I get bored and changed cars often. The only new car I purchased was a 2000 Audi TT taking delivery of one of the first cars to reach the US. Not the fastest but very nimble and turned heads when it first launched. It was my daily driver for a number of years.

My first “weekend car” [...]

We decided, before exploring Porsche ownership, that these cars would be everyday drivers and more. This summer we embarked on one of those “and more” odysseys as we hit the road for 28 days in our 2011 Panamera 4S. A quick shout out to Todd and Trophy Performance, who were happy to provide a pre-trip oil change and inspection. Given the green light that the car was good to make the 9200-mile round trip, we departed early on July 20. The air conditioning worked flawlessly as we headed north and east into Colorado. We never had a temperature over 85 the rest of the trip. We had unwittingly escaped the record heatwave affecting the southwest; a blessing to be sure.
