Destination Restoration: Five Speed Chatter: Newest Maverick Member! By Ash Seidl-Staley I want to start off this month’s article with an apology regarding the coverage of my suspension rebuild. This month was supposed to be about the replacement and installation of my 914’s brake pads and rotors, but this will not be the case. Although I am happy to report that my build is complete, I was not able to write up the step by step process I took to remove, clean, and reinstall these components. I have had a crazy month, one that has changed my life forever! I will be picking back up with the brakes next month, but with a heavier emphasis on rebuilding brake calipers and installing rotors. I will omit the procedures and steps regarding brake pads and brake bleeding for now. Maybe a fellow Slipstream contributor will tackle the project in an upcoming maintenance article. (Wink-wink, nudge-nudge!) Having said all that, I would now like to take the time to introduce the newest member of Maverick Region PCA. Everyone, meet my beautiful son Christian Hans Seidl-Staley, who came into this world on February 4, 2015 at the Lake Pointe Medical Center in Rowlett, Texas. His very existence has jolted my soul and altered my perception on life. I now know what millions of parents and a majority of Mavericks feel—an overwhelming sense of love, devotion, and happiness for my family. My life will never be the same again! All of The newest Maverick! my obligations and priorities have taken on a deeper meaning; my goals and ambitions are now all centered on my new family’s wellbeing. It is impossible to describe the emotions I have running through my body right now. In the past month I have become a nurturer, a protector, and a role model for one of the most precious gifts anyone can be given. In short, I have become a Father and I Love it! With a family history deeply rooted in admiring and owning vintage Porsches, I have little doubt in my mind that Christian will take up the torch I will pass on Photos by Jenny Greco to him – the very same torch passed on to me from my Grandfather. Jenny and I are already trying to inadvertently steer Christian down the winding Porsche roads. His room is heavily saturated with cars and large Porsche models from both my childhood and my grandfather’s collections, and when he is old enough to lift a wrench he will be spending quality time with daddy under the hood. Realistically, I know that whether or not he dives down the Porsche rabbit hole will ultimately be up to him. I would be just as happy and proud of him if he decided to become a doctor or a lawyer rather than a Porsche-sponsored race car driver. But a father can dream right? Personally, my money is on the race car driver. Everything about Christian screams race car driver; he loves his five point harness, he smiles on car rides, and he even musters a squeaky little chuckle when I make hair pin turns with his stroller. To top it all off, Christian was born at 9:24 in the morning! If that’s not divine foreshadowing, then I don’t know what is. Ash, Christian, and the Porsches 12 March
