Category: Meet The Members

Georganne AKA Gigi grew up here in Vegas in an aviation-oriented family and was a Grand Prix winning horse rider in her teens back when you could ride down the Strip. She then became a flight Attendant and in the 90’s supported troop movements to the Middle East during Desert Storm. She then became a hair stylist for 20 years just recently retiring. 

My name is Curt, AKA Greyhound. I grew up in Long Beach Calif. Joined the Air Force at 17 crewing my first KC 135 Tanker at 20 years old.

Describe your first Porsche. How many have you owned?

Our first Porsche was a 2017 Panamera. It is absolutely one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. The Panamera is what “sealed the deal” for us to be a Porsche family. Since then, we have owned 5 Porsches. We had a 911 and a Cayenne along the way. At one time, there was 4 Porsches in the fleet. 

What Porsche do you own? What do you like about it? Any enhancements or modifications?

We currently have a 2017 Macan Base in black and a 2021 Taycan 4 Cross Turismo in neptune blue. 

The Macan is our “grocery getter” and travel vehicle for when we go places where it is difficult to park or navigate. The Macan is great on the freeways in California & for parking in tight spaces near the beach. The Macan is like driving a go-cart. Even though it’s a base [...]
