Unleashing Adventure, Camaraderie, and Automotive Excellence on the Open Road

By Craig Shanklin

There’s something thrilling about sliding into the driver’s seat of your Porsche, feeling the pulse of its engine through the steering wheel, and pointing its nose toward new horizons. For many Porsche owners, this might be a local drive or attending a nearby Cars and Coffee. We all know our car is more than just a means of transportation—it’s a symbol of refined engineering, performance, and a close-knit community. However, taking your Porsche out for an extended road trip…hundreds of miles… is something very different. It isn’t merely about getting from A to B; it’s about experiencing a journey…an adventure… savoring each curve of the road, and embracing the camaraderie that comes with being a part of a passionate automotive family.

Via Brazil Steakhouse in Summerlin was an ideal location for July’s Mix & Mingle. Great food and conversations were had as we enjoyed the evening together. New members, Dick and Joan McGee, shared stories of their tour of over 7000 miles in their Boxster. They had just returned and filled us in on the adventure, which included some famous roads with incredible scenery. Stay tuned for a feature in next month’s Desert Drives. Table talk included everything from cars to guns to real estate. It is always enjoyable to learn more about our LVR members.

In June, Southern Utah LVR members hosted a packed weekend of summer Porsche fun. On Friday, June 20, a mix and mingle…”Cars and Cocktails”…was held at the new Strap Tank Brewery in St. George. The themed two-story micro-brewery is named after the famous Harley Davidson motorcycle but is loaded with other great memorabilia, most provided by the reality TV series American Pickers, including a full size WW I airplane. Over 45 LVR members enjoyed appetizers, drinks and dinner….and lots of great conversation. With almost 50/50 participation, it was a great merging of Las Vegas and Southern Utah members. The brewery pulled out all the stops to host the Las Vegas Region and provided free appetizers, their best staff and reserved VIP parking for all Porsches. This fun event was coordinated by PCA member Diane Shanklin.

Volunteering is often seen as a selfless act—something we do for others. But talk to anyone who’s given their time to a cause, and they’ll tell you it gives back tenfold. This is especially true when your passions intersect with purpose. One unexpected yet powerful example? Volunteering within our very own Porsche Club of America (PCA) and similar community-driven programs. 

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part but there are many opportunities within the LVR Porsche Club for those interested.  You can ask how to help when you attend an event, contact a board member if there is a particular event you would be interested in to see how you can help.  The club board meetings are open to all members and is a great way to pass on suggestions for events and to learn about upcoming events that will need volunteers. 

Our club also helps our local community programs. We held a silent auction [...]

This past Sunday morning, nine beautiful Porsches, no, make that eight beautiful Porsches and a Genesis met early at Black Bear Diner with the united goal of a great drive through the back country of southern Utah to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah.  The morning air was crisp and the skies cloudy.  Our tour leaders, Doug and Leslie Beck greeted us upon arrival and gave us the usual safety talk.

With the prep work out of the way, it was time to get started.  Our drive began by making our way through Hurricane and then on to Apple Valley via Hwy 59.  After [...]
