So Many Porsche Events...So Little Time
So between Smokies 2018, Porsche Parade 2018, Rennsport Reunion 2018, possible European delivery, and monthly track events, my calendar is getting filled to the brim with Porsche events. I really don't want to risk my marriage by overdoing it this year. For those of you have been to these events, which ones do you recommend the most? I live in OKC so Parade is only 5 hrs from me this year which is a selling factor. Everything else is quite far from me. I am leaning heavily towards trailering a car to the Smokies event in April as I love that part of the country and the idea of a smaller GT focused group is pretty enticing. Last year we were in Germany and made it to Stuttgart which was awesome, so my wife is totally on board with Euro delivery if we can swing it (ie depending on the GT3RS allocation/build/ED status). Thanks in advance for any advice!

Smokies 2018 - Indeed East Coast's best roads
Porsche Parade 2018 - not my cuppa tea
Rennsport Reunion 2018 - & Monterey in August are a lot of fun, so much variety, bring the wife too, good weather, great restaurants if you book ahead
European delivery - a no brainer that should enhance the marriage
Good luck, I too had to dial back the car trips and save the 'ol marriage.
Choose wisely my friend.

thanks for the info guys. i have an amazing wife who comes to most of my track days and really enjoys hanging with my P car buddies. i married way above my lot in life four sure!
we've also got trips to ireland and tuscany planned for this summer which will fulfill most of her interests. that being said, she still claims our meal at Christophorus in Stuttgart last summer was one of the best meals she has ever had, and she can't wait to go back for a Euro delivery.
i think we will likely do the smokies as we can also make a stop on the way back and visit our old stomping grounds in nashville. it sounds like rennsport could be a great trip to fly out to and just hang out and eat and drink well for a few days.

The key, is to make your significant other think that Porsche events ARE family events
Leipzig delivery: "honey, quality time with my brother who I otherwise don't get to see. This is family time"
Continuation of European delivery in June during honeymoon after mountain passes have opened: "babe, do you know how many girls would die to rent a nice sports car and drive around the Italian and French Riviera for their honeymoon?.. you should be grateful"
Smokies: "honey, I'm basically just flying to atlanta to visit family, May take a short drive up to the mountains but mostly family time"
Rennsport Reunion: "but sweetheart, I'm just a few miles away down the coast, this is just a networking opportunity, basically a work retreat, do you know how many potential investors are there?"
Goodwood Festival of Speed.. Villa d'este concourse, Pebble Beach, back for Goodwood revival.... ok, I got nothing.

Pebble Beach: Taking care of health due to clean air by the coast.
