During COVID there are moments where you just
want to break free, even if just for a few hours to
remind ourselves collectively what it was like before
“The New Normal” set in. A lot of events have been
postponed or restructured during COVID. Even our
Founders Day was rescheduled. But fear not, faithful
Mavs. We are, if nothing else, intrepid in our quest to
drive our beloved P-Cars.
For this year, our annual Maverick Region Founders
Day has been expanded to - count ‘em - four events.
Kicking things off was the monthly Mavs & Mochas,
then a toy drive up to the Plano Police department, then
on to Grapevine Porsche for both The People’s Choice
Concours and the Family Affair luncheon.
One of the things that struck me was all the new
people that I met. Usually I spend time talking to a
bunch of folks I know, but I never got the chance. I met
a couple that had just moved from Orange County, CA
to the DFW area; another who had been a member for
a while, but this M&M was his first event driving a
sick (meaning way cool) Lime Gold 997; and a friend
of mine whom I finally convinced to both join PCA and
start coming out to M&M events. And he brought his
kids along too. Quote of the day: “Look dad, that car
has four engines just like yours,” said my friend’s son as
he pointed to a nearby 991 with quad exhaust. See, he
is already learning what makes a car go fast!
See you all next month at the next M&M.
MAVERICK REGION
FOUNDERS DAY 2020
four events , one great time
Mavs & Mochas, or as the cool kids like to
call it, M&M, started things off at Nordstrom
NorthPark, special thanks to Clark and Vanessa.
There was just a hint of chill in the air as cars
started rolling in about 8:00 am. But things
soon heated up - not the temperature so much
as a large gathering of Turbos. The Porsche 911
Turbo, in all its guises, was the featured car. Of
the 150 cars that attended, 27 were Turbos, or
almost 20% of all the cars gathered. Not bad,
Turbo folks!
