My car was sold new at Hendrick...do I count?


You guys need to join PCA. There are a lot of 944's in your area...

TheDice951

I am a member of PCA, I don't know how to search for people though... Or even I it is possible...? I have been a member for about a year now and have yet to have the time to go to a meet/swap/show or anything....

pettybird

ha well...that would be your first problem

Honestly it requires showing up and talking to the regulars, even if you really want to deal with the cool kids who don't show up much. Can't tell much from a member list, which your membership chairman has. It lists names/addys/phones/emails/types of cars, but it doesn't tell you what the people are like. lots of people never updated their cars, either, so mom still drives a 914 instead of her SC, I only have a 924, etc.

Certain events attract certain people. If you want to schmooze, go to a house party. If you want to autox, concours or race, well go there. If you want to get more information go to a tech session. there's usually a new member party every year that pulls in a lot of people.

and take your car! you'll get a much better reception!

cool man... they have a coffee thing every sat. what kind of folks show up to those? i was thinking on making a trip one sat. and stopping by......

thanks for the help

pettybird

the coffee things are a mixed bag. it's a great starting point. Ask them about your interests, and where you should go to find the people who are the same.

It's kinda like in Ferris Beuller when the secretary rattles off all of the groups who love Ferris...you'll fit into at least one of the crowds

"Grace: "Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, *****, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, ********* - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."

Pretty Bird, not all regions are as friendly as it sounds like yours is. I know a lot of people in this area and the mountain area are hard to talk to and it is a very clickish group at times. I was a PCA member 6 years and have let my membership lapse as I don't have the time to participate and have not been able to connect to many people. Also the 944 around here is looked at as a track machine only, absoulutely no love for it. This is not to say that there aren't some nice people, it is just a hard scene to break into.

TheDice951

well i will have to get away and join these guys at one or two of these events and get a feel for them. i may wait until i have my 964 so i get some respect!! haha.... i dont understand, i love my 951 and i wish everyone else did too.... its not fair but oh well...... thanks guys for the info

Hey Dice, if it is Cars and Coffee. Go there are tons of cool cars that show up, not just Porsche's every make and model imaginable.

TheDice951

No it's not cars and coffee... It's the hurricane regions coffee thing.... It's just at masons deli ever sat. Morning.... I have heard and seen stuff about cars and coffee and I would love to go to one.....
