On Sunday, February 23, 2025, the Arts District of Las Vegas transformed into a vibrant canvas of automotive artistry with the return of Cars und Kaffee. Held on the last Sunday of every month, this event—sponsored by Gaudin Classic—has earned its reputation as the go-to gathering for classic Porsche enthusiasts. But it’s more than just a car show; it’s a community-driven celebration that bridges the suburbs and the city’s creative heart.

Set against the eclectic backdrop of the Good Wolf Lifestyle Store, the February edition drew a diverse crowd, many of whom rarely venture into the Arts District. The star attractions? A stunning lineup of vintage Porsches, from air-cooled 911s to rare models preserved with the expertise of Gaudin Classic, North America’s first Porsche Classic Partner. These weren’t cars meant to roar or flaunt excess—they [...]

Meet The Members…Craig & Di Shanklin…in Southern Utah

That purchase of a 944 S2 Cabriolet has led us to a life full of interesting people, wonderful events and fun adventures. 

That initial Porsche has led to many others including currently a 718 Spyder, Spyder RS, 911 T, a Cayenne Transyberia and soon, a new Boxster GTS 4.0…three of the cars being Ruby Star…our favorite Porsche color. Through our involvement with the Porsche [...]

Toy Drive Event: 

At our December brunch, our club came together for a heartwarming toy drive event aimed at spreading holiday cheer to children in need. Although our plans to work with Toys for Tots directly didn’t work out, another local group in Clark County was also in need of toys. With your generous donations, we were able to help bring joy to 3,200 foster children this past holiday season. Thank you for your incredible support in making our Toy Drive for foster kids such a success. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to making a difference in the lives of these kids. Stay tuned for more ways to get involved, and once again, thank you for spreading hope and happiness!
