PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA – A SEVENTY-YEAR ROMANCE IN THE USA
Seventy years ago, a group of Porsche enthusiasts in North America came together to form what would become the Porsche Club North America (PCNA). Since its inception, the club has grown exponentially and now boasts a membership of over 100,000 Porsche owners and enthusiasts. The official date falls 4 days after my 71st birthday. Ironic in a way. I have been a Porsche loyalist since I can remember. It has been a wonderful ride and an awesome relationship. We were estranged for a few years but now that we are back together? Well i am sure that this time it is till death do we part!
In the early days, the club was a small, tight-knit community of Porsche owners who shared a passion for the iconic German sports cars. They [...]

Happy September!
Greetings to all you beautiful Porsche enthusiasts!
August was a month to remember for many reasons.
Where do I even begin?
One of the highlights of August was this year’s Monterey Car Week, particularly the 2025 Porsche Club Werks Reunion. I’ve got a recap of it in this month’s issue.
We’re now into our ninth month of the year, and time seems to be flying by. As we age, the concept of time changes with each passing day. It’s as if time is speeding up, making it harder to find the brake pedal!
Our Mix and Mingles events continue, but attendance varies. If you know of an establishment with great ambiance that would like to be a future event venue, please let us know. We’re always looking for new places to add to our list and avoid monotony.
Our Aviators Night was a great success and filled up the VIP suite. Cannot wait [...]

Why Does That Volkswagen Say “Porsche” On It? Some History Behind Porsche Renndienst Vehicles.
By: Jordan Godorov
Have you ever been to a car event that featured a Volkswagen with “Porsche” lettering on it? What’s that all about?
According to Richard Lindhorst, writing for Effersport Online – “In 1951, Porsche took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time. Motorsport has been a central part of the Zuffenhausen company’s DNA ever since this entry of two Porsche 356/4 SL Coupés. From the mid-1950s onwards, the so-called “Renndienst”, which means racing service, was also always there [...]

- Comments Off on The Joys of the Journey: Taking Your Porsche on a Road Trip and Experiencing the Porsche Parade in Oklahoma City
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.

By Reid Smith
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.
