Around the Bend...<br />
By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor<br />
“A Porsche is not an Everyday Sports Car.<br />
It is a Sports Car for Everyday.” This truism greeted<br />
every visitor to the “Porsche Zentrum” located above<br />
the front straight at Laguna Seca during Rennsport Reunion<br />
V. It reminds me, as it should remind you, that<br />
the true joy of owning a Porsche vehicle happens when<br />
you drive it as often as possible.<br />
There is nothing more exciting to a Maverick member<br />
than seeing a Porsche on the road to anywhere - the<br />
grocery store, coffee shop, one of our many toll roads,<br />
or even to a club event. These engineering marvels<br />
from Germany were designed to be “driven hard and<br />
put away wet”, as the saying goes.<br />
I certainly understand the time we all put into keeping<br />
our club rides clean and polished to a magnificent<br />
lustre means we don’t want to repeat the effort. Remember<br />
that dust, dirt, the occasional piece of gravel,<br />
and even a rain drop or two, were all anticipated by<br />
the Porsche engineers as they designed and built these<br />
amazing machines. You’re actually creating the future<br />
patina of your vehicle each time you drive it!<br />
So, the next time you decide to keep your Porsche<br />
in the garage because it’s too clean to drive, remind<br />
yourself that it is a sports car for everyday<br />
and needs regular exercise rain or shine. The<br />
smile on your face that you get while driving<br />
it will more than replace any additional time<br />
needed to clean your vehicle when you return.<br />
I’m pleased to welcome two new members to our<br />
club Board this month. Cindy Bliss has agreed to be our<br />
Advertising Chair. She will be responsible for communicating<br />
with our advertisers in <strong>Slipstream</strong> and making<br />
certain that everyone benefits from their sponsorship.<br />
If you have any questions regarding our advertising<br />
program, you can contact Cindy at ads@mavpca.org.<br />
By the way, I hope you mention that you saw their ads<br />
in <strong>Slipstream</strong> each time you visit or contact one of our<br />
advertisers.<br />
In addition, Chris Flaugh has volunteered to be our<br />
Goodie Store Chair. A great way to show your Maverick<br />
pride is to wear items specifically designed with our<br />
club logo. Check out the offerings via the Goodie Store<br />
link on our web site. If you find an item in the PCA web<br />
store that you would like to be in our own store, contact<br />
Chris at goodiestore@mavpca.org. Also, if you need a<br />
club name badge, you can contact Chris at nametags@<br />
mavpca.org and he will assist you in that order.<br />
Finally, in our newest <strong>Slipstream</strong> initiative - Mav Photos<br />
of the Month - the focus for this month was wheels.<br />
Thanks to our members for submitting these great<br />
photos shown below.<br />
For the April issue, our focus is interior/<br />
upholstery, so send your photo submissions to<br />
editor@mavpca.org or post them on our<br />
