MEET THE MEMBERS – Stanley Anderson

By Stanley Anderson

My first and only Porsche is a 2012 Carrera GTS (997.2) that is the end of an era.  The 991’s were about to arrive in dealerships only a couple of months after I purchased the 997.2.  Since I wasn’t interested in being an early adopter of the next generation, I was more than happy to get the GTS.

The Carrera GTS is now approaching 12 years old.  It was my daily driver for most of that time.  In the beginning, I made relatively few changes to it, but as it got up in years, I decided it was time to make a few changes.  Those changes include updates to the wheels, exhaust, suspension, side markers, steering wheel, stone guards, as well as numerous interior [...]

MEET THE MEMBERS – MARINA JEZZINI AND BRIAN SCHMIDT

Marina and Brian have the Las Vegas Region of PCA to thank for bringing them together; they met at a PCA event and Brian invited Marina to join him at the next week’s HPDE event.  That’s all it took as they realized they both have a need for speed and love being at racetracks.  They were married later that year with a Porsche themed wedding.  At about the time of the wedding Porsche ran ads that said “Choose Thrilling”, which got painted on the garage wall. 

Although they have been long-time Las Vegas residents, they had another connection since they were both born in Iowa and still visit family there.

Brian’s Porsche interest started long ago through his sports car enthusiast Uncle.  For three years he made Brian “babysit” his 911 with the requirement that the car must be driven at least once a week.  Wow, was that a tough assignment!
