Slipstream - May 2011

Member Spotlight: Vicki Dunigan
Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair
This month our new member
spotlight is on Vicki Dunigan.
Vicki has a 2000 black Porsche
Boxster and “absolutely loves it!” They
bought the car in late December, 2010. It
was actually her birthday present from her
sweet husband, Dan.
Vicki says that she enjoys driving
and had always wanted something small and sporty
but never had really thought of a Porsche because
she didn’t think they could afford one. She thought
it was one of those things she would always want
and never have. Finally, in December, her husband
just jumped in and “forced” her to go car shopping
with him. They drove a BMW and a Nissan and
looked at some other cars. As soon as she saw the
Porsche, she knew it was what she wanted. Vicki
shared that she’d been driving a Chevy pick-up for
several years and has kept that. The pick-up lives in
the driveway and the Porsche in the garage!
Vicki has two adult children. Her daughter got
married last year and graduates with her MBA from
UT in May. She will be moving to the DFW area with her
husband. Her son lives in Dallas and has a Master’s degree
in accounting. He’ll be getting married in September. She’s
been married to Dan for…well, many years. Vicki has been
in the DFW area all her life. She was born and raised in Ft.
Worth, and Dan grew up in Dallas.
Vicki loves to walk, read, and putter around in the
flowerbeds. Her daughter is going to work for an airline and
she’ll have travel benefits. They plan to take full advantage
of that as soon as they are able!
Vicki added, “I have to say,
though, that having the Porsche
is a hobby in itself because of
the fun driving it and of working
together to maintain it. I hear
people say that a convertible is
not worth having because there
are ‘only 5 days a year’ you can
drive with the top down. Au
contraire!”
From her picture, it looks like
Vicki is taking advantage of that
top down weather in one of our
Sunday Drives. Please look for
Vicki and Dan at another event
and extend a warm welcome to
our Maverick family. If you are a new member and would
