Oversteer: Letter from the Editorby Kurt Scaggs, Managing EditorDisclaimer: I get really geeky this month about somequestionable cars from the past. If the names aren’t familiar,google them. Seriously, it’s worth it.In the Tech Session article on page 12, I write about anold 911 modified by Rinspeed that was sitting out backwatching the world go by. It reminded me of being a kid andall of the crazy, over-the-top cars that were being made from911’s in the 80’s and 90’s. The made for Miami Vice carsfrom Strosek, Gemballa (I loved the Gemballa Avalanche),Koenig and more serious cars from DP and RUF were thethings of dreams in those days. It wasn’t just 911’s that weredefiled, many a BMW and Mercedes recieved gull-wingdoors, extra gills and monochromatic paint jobs or ultrawidefenders. Funny that back then a white interior withred piping was the way to go, and today black on blackwith black everything seems to be the statement. Anyway,times have changed and we’ve matured. Even RWB looksrestrained when you look at what was being done backthen. But the urge has never really completely passed withus has it? Take a walk around any of our events and you’llsee cars customized to the owners’ individual and yes,sometimes unique tastes. That’s what I love about Porsches.Most of them aren’t so dear that you expect a letter from thefactory if you change something. And it’s just fun to tinkerand make them yours. In a responsible ‘can be returned tostock’ kind of way of course.These days in the world of air-cooled cars, we talk aboutSinger and Gunthewerks among others but the story is thesame, a great platform being refined to meet the specificdesires and goals of its owner, whatever that may be.Speaking of goals, this month is the quarterly can fooddrive edition of Mavs&Mochas. Jimmy G, our CharityChair, hosts a canned food drive 4 times a year at Mavs &Mochas to benefit the North Texas Food Bank. Maverickshave always been generous to this charity and last yeardonated over 1000 lbs. of food. Let’s beat that in 2020.This is a chance to pay it forward and advance NTFB’s10-year plan to provide access to 92 million nutritiousmeals annually by 2025. By donating items like: cannedtuna and chicken, peanut butter, boxed meals, cannedfruit and veggies, canned soup, and rice and beans, wecan help North Texas families feel more secure about theirnext meal.So pick up some canned food and meet us at RAC.Don’t forget to...Enjoy the Drive.Porsche Specialists - Experienced EnthusiastsDealer-Like Service at Independent Pricesfifthgear.bizExcellent Service Maintenance & Repair Sales•All Porsches’ Serviced•Fast Turnaround Times•Same Day Service In SomeCases•Serving DFW Area For Over14 Years•Family Founded, Owned &Operated•100+ Years of Porsche Tech Experience•11,000 sq. ft.
