Mike’s Corner BY MIKE MATTHEWS, LONGHORN REGION PRESIDENT Hello and good-bye,It has been a good two years as President for me and I hope for you. We’ve been through a number of changes and I hope most of them have been good for the club. We’ve seen changes in our auto sports programs. The number of members who par-ticipate in the track days and autocross have gone down but the number of people attending our drives have gone way up. I don’t know if this is a local trend or national. Maybe I should get in touch with Vu and ask. For the past four years I have worked with some awesome people. Chuck Bush, James Bricken, Susie Bush, Jim Hamilton, Jack Merrell, Sandy Merrell, Ron McAtee, and my wife Shelley Matthews. Many of these people were my mentors but all of them are my friends. You know like forever friends. All of these people have been Porsche fanatics and PCA members for years.The new incoming President is Dennis Halmai and the new incoming Treasurer is Jud Walford. Along with returning VP James Bricken and Secretary, Susie Bush, they will provide great leadership to the club as well as the other existing board members. Jim Hamilton is retiring after being the treasurer for many years. I appreciate Jim’s friendship and the work he has done for the club. I will become the Past President, so I’ll still be around for at least another year.A club is as good as its membership and leader-ship and we have a great club. They say if you get 8-10% participation from a club it is really a good active club. We vary in our participation numbers, with the drives being the favorite, but we are close to the average. Things have changed over the years as people’s time has become more precious as there are more and more things that take up their time.Shelley and I love to go on the drives. We get to visit with some great club members, forging new and better friendships, eat at some great places AND we get to drive one of the best vehicles on the road. I am a competitive person and I love to run on the track and run the autocross courses. Adrenaline is awesome when you complete a great run and have to sit a while to catch your breath. I hope I can con-tinue to do this as I get older. It helps to keep my ticker running! I just have one more thing to say and that is support the local dealership. Don and his crew provide a great service to us as a club and I think as a deal-ership. If you have good service let them know and if you don’t, talk to them about it.It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you these past years.Mike8 LH ROUNDUP

Meet the Longhorn...Ron McAteeTell us a bit about yourself/family/background?I was born and raised in Oklahoma. I lived in Midwest City, OK until 1961 when I joined the Marine Corps. I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA until I was transferred to Honolulu, HI in September 1963. In March 1965, a small group of us were transferred to Vietnam. I was a Naval Gunre Spotter (called in Naval Gunre in support of ground troops (Army & Marines)). The Fire Support Team I was a part of was in the jungles quite frequently calling in air strikes, also in support of Navy, Army, and Marines. We operated out of DaNang South Vietnam (also known as I Corps). Upon my return to the States, I was assigned to 1st 155mm self- propelled Howitzers at Twenty-Nine Palms, CA. I found out after the war was over that those guns were sent to Khe Sanh, South Vietnam in late 1966. I was discharged from the Corps in April 1966 and started back to college. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Central State University in Edmond, OK. Its name has changed to the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO).Upon returning to Oklahoma City in April 1966, I was hired by the Air Force at Tinker Air Force Base (also in Midwest City, OK). I spent 11 years at Tinker before being transferred to Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. I worked in Acquisition Logistics procuring and ultimately elding several propulsion systems. In January 1981, Phyllis and I were transferred back to Oklahoma City to set-up the ofces for the newly acquired systems.In 1993, I was transferred to Kelly AFB, TX to help set up the Directorate of Propulsion ofce. I spent the remainder of my career in that capacity until my retirement on 1 September 2000.

THE END. Strange way to start an article, I know, but this commemorates the end of the rst season for me as auto-cross chair for Longhorn Region. I can only hope I did right by everybody. The year had its challenges for me as the position of autocross chair was kind of dropped in my lap a little late. I struggled to get dates for Retama and get people out to the events. In the end we were able to ve events and we had to shelve two.I'm already working on dates for next year. I hope to have 6-8 events for next year starting in late February or early March, alternating between Saturday and Sunday to give opportunity to greatest number of people. I think I also want to change up how we score events to add extra challenges and make things more interesting. We will still be using the PAX index and the same classes, but nal scores might be determined based on a single run picked at random, or an average of all the runs. I'm looking for feedback and additional ideas in this area. Since I hope to have more dates, we might also be able to allow com-petitors to "write-off" one or two events and only use their best ve events for championship scoring.I'm also looking into special Ladies and Novice classes. The ladies class will only work if we get a minimum number female of participants for each event. Novice class will only apply to participant's rst calendar year of experience. In other words: if your rst autocross was last November then you don't qualify for next year’s novice competition. Awards will be based on the number of qualied participants.Last things rst: Dec 8th autocross. Originally our December autocross was supposed to be at Fiesta Texas as has been the case for the last few years but at the last minute they moved the mouse hole on us and we decided to cancel the event. This left us in the position of securing Retama at the last minute. Thankfully, based on our past reputa-tion, they opened the date for us on the 8th. Attendance was lower than I was hoping for, but even with a few can-cellations and no-shows, we still had 24 participants. Once again Federico designed a course that everybody enjoyed. It was a pretty straight forward course, pretty quick, but times were still in the 40-50 second range. Best raw time of the day was Federico in his STU prepared Boxster, and best PAX time was achieved by novice driver Mike Mullen. Mike is guring this out fast and will be a force to be reck-oned with next year. Ron McAtee and Shelly Matthews handled timing; Mike Mullen and Bill Dorsey helped with tech. This is a bigger help than you can imagine when I don't have to worry about and follow up on tasks.16 November Autocross: Our November autocross was a banner event for attendance. We had about 37 partici-pants and I don't think we have seen numbers like this in many years. I think the great upset was when newcomer Evan Slate took both fastest raw time and fastest PAX time in his stock '06 Cayman. I say newcomer, but Even regu-larly runs with SASCA and SPOKES. This should illustrate that "ITS NOT THE CAR". Its practice, practice, practice. In fact, with the PAX system there should be no advan-tage with having a faster car. You might actually go faster with modications, but you can get hurt in the nal PAX score and score fewer points.So the points for the season have all been tallied and awards for the top three champions will be presented at our annual holiday party. We will also be recognizing an exemplary novice driver. I'm really looking forward to next year as I expect out participation numbers to go up and the competition for top prizes will intensify. As I mentioned earlier, I plan to change things up a little to make things a little more interesting. I am always open to new ideas so don't be afraid to hit me up. Till next time: "see you at the track".AUTOCROSS NEWS BY JAMES BRICKEN 18 LH ROUNDUP

MOTORSPORTS TIDBITS BY JACK MERRILL The end of another year is almost upon us. Unfortunately, weather and scheduling negated the two fall track days but there is always next year. Not much to talk about this month, PORSCHE won the GTLM class in the IMSA series with their 911 RSR number 912 even though they did poorly the last two races. Lewis Hamilton has all but tied up yet another Formula 1 drivers’ title with only a few races left.So, what do we talk about? Let’s try front license plates. In-route to the annual club picnic three of our member received warning tickets for no front license plates. As an aside, Steve and Cheryl did a fantastic job of hosting the picnic. Back to license plates, I will be the rst to admit that I don’t like front plates as most late model cars are not designed for them. Years ago, front bumpers were actually made with indents for mounting the plates. Anyway, they are required in Texas and there is a $200 ne for not having one. Once you get a warning ticket, the next time you are stopped it’s a ne ticket. Texas law states that a front plate is required, must be forward facing, mounted at least 12 inches above the ground, rigidly attached to the vehicle and not covered with anything that might reduce the ability to read the plate. This includes smoked covers. and frames that hide any of the numbers or lettering any-where on the plate. So, what are the options? You can use the plastic frame that came with your car and screw it and the plate into the front bumper cover - but not on my car. Or, you can use one of the several aluminum devices that utilize the front tow hook for attachment. That’s what I use. Yes, they are slightly offset but do not damage the front bumper cover and can quickly be removed for shows or to attach the front tow hook. I use the one sold by Axle Mower company and it works well and is customized for each model PORSCHE.Did I say that I do not like front license plates but I do have one on the front of each of my cars? That always does not help as in the last several years I have been pulled over three times from ofcers that approached from the rear. As I handed them my papers and said you know I was not speeding, each time the ofcer politely said no sir you were not but you do not have a front license plate. With that we walked around to the front of the vehicle and both observed the plate clearly attached meeting all the aspect of the law. Bottom line is many ofcers assume you will not have a plate on the front and it is a non-negotiable ticket. My advice: put a plate on the front as required and if you feel strongly against them, write your state legis-lator. It has come up every year in the legislature and with enough support, will eventually pass. In the mean-time, accept the fact it is the law and display one to reduce the hassle and the probability of a $200 ne … in my mind a no brainer. Drive safe and enjoy the cooler weather.

Big Bend drive - Oct 18-20, 2019Article By chuck BushA three-day trip to Big Bend was something different for Longhorn PCA and given the feedback, something we will denitely try again.The drive to west Texas included a stop for lunch at Cooper’s BBQ in Junction. Continuing on I-10, we arrived late afternoon in Marfa and everyone checked in. The Hotel Pisano has a lovely courtyard which was a great place for a drink and to relax after the drive. That evening, we had a banquet at the hotel, discussed Big Bend and the upcoming day’s drive.The next morning, we headed out to the park. Big Bend is really too big to see in a day, but we planned to hit a couple of the highlights and whet folk’s appetite to come back again. The drive to the park through Alpine and down 385 to Study Butte is very scenic and enjoyable. With 75 mph speed limits on much of the road it was made for our Porsches.Once into the park, we went to the visitor’s center to check out some of the history of the park and load up on souvenirs. Back on the road, we drove into the Chisos Mountains and into the Chisos Basin. This remarkable geological delight made an amazing drive and we took lots of good pictures. We were able to take a short hike around the basin before lunch at the Chisos Mountain Lodge.After lunch, some folks went to explore the park on their own, and the rest split into two groups. One group headed to Santa Elena Canyon and another towards the Sol Vista Overlook to get some good photographs. Enroute, we tried to stop at every scenic overlook to make sure we didn’t miss anything. As we approached the end of the road, Santa Elena Canyon dominated the landscape. With a quick walk down to the Rio Grande, we were able to look down into the canyon. If we had more time, we could have forded the river and walked into the canyon, but that will have to wait for another day. We still had a four-hour drive to get back to Marfa, so off we went. Back through Terlingua (home of the annual Texas Chili Festival), and through the old silver mining area of Lajitas. We drove the river road to Presidio and then back towards Marfa. The river road was really fun to drive with dramatic turns, dips and rises that kept you on your toes. Once back in Marfa, we freshened up after a long day of driving (386 miles) and hit the road again for the McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis. We were amazed how much the scenery changes as we were driving on curvy mountain roads through pine forests enroute.At the Observatory, we attended a “Star Party” where the staff there talked about the mission of the observatory and showed us many of the visible constellations in the dark night sky. It was truly awe inspiring as the Milky Way was smeared across the sky with its millions of stars. That alone is worth the drive out to the middle of West Texas!The next morning, it was time to head back home. We took the scenic route back via Highway 90. Stops included a vista overlooking the Brazos river, the Judge Roy Bean historic site, and Rudy’s BBQ in Del Rio.The trip was a blast, and we hope to do another soon!Editor’s note – after the star party at the McDonald Observatory, several of us went out to the Marfa lights viewing center. The Marfa Lights are unexplained lights that often show up in the desert just outside Marfa. The lights don’t appear every night but we were in luck! We watched the lights show up, move, dive, bounce and then disappear and reappear for about two hours. Even saw some colors. We talked about there being a mountain with a road in the distance and what the lights could possibly be. But when we left Marfa the next morning, we all looked back as we passed the viewing center and there was no mountain, no road we could see, no way to explain the lights. This left us more confused but most of us that were there left as believers (not mentioning any names). They were amazing and it was well worth staying up late.20 LH ROUNDUP

LHR Fall PicnicArticle By Betty Campbell Oct. 26, 2019Thirty-nine gorgeous Porsches, 70 Porsche enthusiasts, a beautiful sunny fall day on Canyon Lake in the Texas Hill Country made the perfect setting for the 2019 Longhorn Region Annual Picnic on Saturday October 26.Hosts Cheryl and Steve Greentree started the roll call with their 1991 Guards Red 964 Cabriolet anked by their fabulous 2015 Sapphire Blue 991 Cabriolet. As the cars rolled in, their front yard was transformed into a colorful tapestry of special cars. Jud Walford conducted a concours training session to educate members on proper cleaning and preparation techniques. During the session, judges scored cars for the Concours. Everyone had a great time with good food and Steve’s home brew. There was plenty of time to visit, catch up with friends and meet new members. All too quickly the afternoon slipped into sundown and the fun day came to an end. But for sure memories of this event will endure in the minds of everyone who were there.24 LH ROUNDUP

PCA HISTORYTHE HISTORY & EVOLUTION OF PCABill Sholar was a commercial arst in the Washington, D.C. area in the early 1950’s. He also was an admirer of well-designed automobiles, and thus purchased his rst Porsche, a 1953 356 Coupe. As me passed, Bill met other Porsches on the road, always blinking his headlights in silent greeng. By late 1954, Bill was convinced that a more personal meeng would be appropriate with other Porsche owners to discuss the posive and, the well, ah, not-so-posive aspects of driving the infrequently encountered marque. Following a rst gathering February 8, 1955 at the Sholar house, several Porsche owners occasionally got together that spring and summer to share knowl-edge about the unique cars they drove. Eventually they decided to start a club. A brief paragraph in the August 1955 issue of Sports Car Illustrated informed readers that a Porsche club was being formed in the United States; all inquiries were directed to Bill Schol-ar’s aenon. Addionally, the Porsche factory was peoned for recognion of the proposed club. Unocially referring to themselves as “the gripe group,” they ocially tled the new organizaon the Porsche Club of America, and held their rst business meeng on September 13, 1955, at Blackie’s Grille in Washington, DC. Thirteen prospecve members showed up, but one reluctantly had to be asked to leave when she revealed that she owned not a Porsche, but a Volkswagen, which didn’t qualify under the club bylaws, which remain in eect today. Those in aendance at that rst meeng were Bill Sholar, Karl Grimm, Peter Pearman, Ken Twigg, Frank Becke, Gamble Mann, Fred Schulenburg, Bob Flick, Bob Ellio, Ray Pis, Harvey Brown, and Don Carr. Sholar was elected President and a press release was sent to the factory magazine, Christophorus, intro-ducing the Porsche Club of America to other Porsche enthusiasts. Word spread, and the 189 Porsche driv-ers who joined by January 31, 1956 were designated as “charter members” of the Porsche Club of America (PCA).As more and more members joined outside the Washington, DC area, regions were formed in other communies. The original Washington, DC group be-came the Potomac Region, which remained the hub of acvies. 1st PCA event, Sept 1955RJ Wilmoth, Naonal Historian26 LH ROUNDUP

First appearing in December 1955, the club’s monthly magazine. Porsche Panorama®, kept all members, nearby and remote, apprised of the latest technical informaon, factory news and events planned.Early in 1956, Potomac Region arranged the rst “Porsche Parade” as a gathering of all PCA members and a blanket invitaon was extended to all PCAers. Held at the Washingtonian Motel in Gaithersburg, Maryland from August 29 through September 1, 1956, this rst naonal convenon drew 64 PCA members. Apart from a rally, a gymkhana and tech-nical ps from the factory service reps present, there was plenty of me for socializing and pit talk. Living up to its name, several Parades later actually featured a parade of Porsches through the streets.By the me of the second Parade, a Concours d Ele-gance was added to the compeve events. This Pa-rade also saw the rst naonal ocers elected from outside the founding region. PCA chartered six more regions before the end of that year, starng a trend that developed the club into a truly naonwide, and later, an internaonal organizaon.These early days always saw a group of PCA members at local and naonal sports car races. Many PCAers who spent weekends racing their Porsches came out as winners; such drivers as Art Bunker, Bob Holbert, Lake Underwood and Charlie Wallace were beginning to develop Porsche’s “giant killer” reputaon in this country.With Max Bunnell as President, the 1958 Parade moved to New York state. That year also saw Sholar come up with something new for PCA mem-bers: a trip to the Porsche factory in Stugart, Germa-ny. Eighty-one members made that rst “Treen” (the German word for “meeng”) aboard a prop-driven Luhansa Super Constellaon, arriving to a wel-come from not only the factory, but also many of the German Porsche Clubs. The Treen® presented the aracve opon of taking delivery of a new Porsche at the factory, a tradion that is sll available today. In October of that same year, Sholar was appointed PCA’s Execuve Secretary, a job he held unl 1962, running the day-to-day operaons of the club with the help of a part-me secretary.The Parade moved west for the rst me when Rocky Mountain Region hosted the 1960 Parade in Aspen, Colorado. This event featured Dr. Ferry Porsche’s rst appearance at a Parade.Early in 1961 PCA appointed its rst commiee chair to develop the club’s acvies even further and to coordinate acvies at the Parade. This proved to be a great asset to the club, as over 250 PCAers aended the sixth Parade. Aer only six years, PCA had earned the reputaon as one of the best sports car clubs in the world.In 1963, Sholar moved to a new posion with Porsche of America Corporaon, the U. S. importer. Before he did so, PCA’s founder recommended his secretary, Jane Nestlerode, as his replacement as Execuve Secretary. Unl her rerement in 1980, Jane became synonymous with PCA Naonal, running the oce out of her home and serving the needs of a membership that grew over 800% during her tenure. Charter PCAer Ken Twigg was elected President in 1963 and PCA membership reached 2000 for the rst me. The 1963 Treen® saw 40 PCAers take delivery of a car at the factory. Through the mid-1960’s PCA racers connued to provide Porsche with SCCA vic-tories, as Bruce Jennings, charter PCAer Don Wester, Bert Evere, Joe Buzzea and others carried the Porsche banner into winners’ circles across America in cars ranging from the ever-compeve Speedster to the more exoc Spyders, 904, and 906. Regions were not conned to the connental U.S. as Hawaii Region formed in 1959, Germany Region in 1963 and the Puerto Rico Region in 1994. In 1980, Jane Nestlerode transferred the Execuve Secretary posion to her assistant, Ruth Harte, who LH ROUNDUP 27

connued to run the club superbly from the base-ment of her Alexandria, Virginia home, unl a year before her rerement, when PCA relocated to an oce building in Springeld, Virginia, and later, in Columbia, Maryland.Although each Region held a wide variety of events and meengs, the Parade became the pinnacle of PCA acvity and the focal point for friendships among far-ung Porsche enthusiasts. By the late 1960’s, a typical Porsche Parade kept 500 entrants busy for an enre week, not to menon me spent inreparaon and travel. Classes in speed events and concours were expanded as the club’s focus shied to include new Porsche types such as the 911 and its many derivaves. The Parade rally oered classes for both equipped and unequipped cars.PCA has experienced an unparalleled growth, not only in members, but in the quality of its events and services. In 2019, PCA served more than 87,000 families, with over 134,000 members, in 145 local Regions, making it the largest single marque car club in the world. PCA concours standards are second to none. Mulple naonal commiees help members with technical problems, insurance valuaons, event safety, region management and newsleers.Today, acvies range from autocrossing, rallying, concours, and socializing, to growing interests in tour-ing, restoraon, Porsche history, and PCA Club Racing. A revised “Treen®” now allows PCA members to visit the factory, the new Porsche Museum, the area around Stugart, Germany, and the R&D unit at Weis-sach. A professional sta, headed by Execuve Direc-tor Vu Nguyen, operates the Naonal Oce in Co-lumbia, Maryland, where a growing historical secon is also housed. The club funcons like a nely-tuned, high performance Porsche. One of the objecves stated in PCA’s Bylaws is to promote the enjoyment and sharing of goodwill and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche.As the phrase goes,“It’s not just the cars, it’s the people…”Motel Washingtonian Gaithersberg MarylandSite of the rst two PCA Parades, 1956 & 57Bill Sholar’s 356 at the 1958 Parade28 LH ROUNDUP

Organizing and Managing your Car’s historyFor most car enthusiasts, the ultimate joy is found in the driving of the cars they love. For a slightly smaller, yet still substantial segment, there is also great joy in working on those cars – bringing them back to life, keeping them purring, roaring and screaming. And then there are the rare few that also nd joy in the organizing, managing and docu-menting of the work – the paperwork, the binders, the categorized receipts, the spreadsheets and picture albums. These are the folks that nd real satisfaction not only in a job well done, but also a job well documented. For those of us fortunate enough to be the next owner of a vehicle cared for by one of those individuals, we are deeply grate-ful for their effort. Most of us truly want to be that person – to be supremely organized, everything documented and in its place – ready for inspection at any time. But the harsh reality is that most of us are lucky to even remember where we put the pile of receipts, much less to nd the receipt for the battery we are sure we changed 2 years ago in the 944 that has now failed. Or was that maybe in the 911? Such is the challenge of keeping up with or-ganizing, managing and documenting our vehicle’s history.If you don’t happen to be in the group that truly loves the organization and documentation, what is the motivation to keep all your i’s dotted and t’s crossed and all led away in reasonable order? There are several reasons: 1. For your own sanity. Many of us are beginning to suffer from the effects of CRS – Can’t Remem-ber Stuff – and the effects only get worse with age and the number of vehicles owned. There is no cure, but an effective organization and documenta-tion system has been shown to signicantly allevi-ate the worst symptoms. 2. To increase the value of the vehicle. The real-ity is that we will not be the last people to own our vehicles. There will be a next owner, either through inheritance or eventual sale, and that owner will care about and to some extent judge the value of the vehicle on the level of documentation provided. Research done with owners and care-takers of high value automobiles indicates that a well-doc-umented and preserved vehicle history can add 2% or more to a vehicles ultimate value. The odds are also high that the next owner will be a younger person that has a different expectation level for what and how things are documented. The “app” era has created a new level of appreciation for ac-cess to a rich set of digital records. 3. To preserve and tell your vehicle’s story. More than likely you truly care about your vehicles and you want to be sure their stories survive for gen-erations to come. You will eventually pass the story down to the next owner, but in the mean time there is the joy of sharing the vehicles with others. A rich documented history can be a rewarding way to en-hance this sharing experience. Many owners have created and maintained binders lled with records, receipts and photographs that they can display at car shows and others share their vehicle passion through social media channels like Facebook. So that covers the why, but what about the what? What exactly should you be keeping up with? You can classify the things to keep into three catego-ries:1. Things you are required to keep. This includes items such as vehicle titles, state registrations and inspection records, insurance papers, etc. (al-though even many of these are starting to become available in digital form)2. Things you may need later. These are items like receipts for parts, warranties, instruction manuals, maintenance schedules and other resources and reference materials. 3. Things you want to preserve as part of your car’s history and provenance. These might include items such as records of repairs, modications and upgrades, appraisals, authentication certicates, awards, records and photos of event participation, brochures and advertising materials, magazine articles, photos and videos, and much more. So how should you keep track of and preserve all of this information? Before the PC era, a well-man-aged paper-based ling and organization system was your only option. Today, most car enthusiasts have settled into a hybrid paper/computer ap-30 LH ROUNDUP

proach with some leaning more heavily one way or the other. • Paper based. Everyone keeps paperwork at some level, even if it is just the basics stuffed into the glove compartment. The risk with paper records is that they are extremely vulnerable to loss or damage from theft, re, ood, de-cay, etc. You should make copies of important cash register receipts that are often printed on thermal paper and become unreadable in only a few short months – either as a photocopy or by taking a digital picture with your smart-phone. Important paper based records should be stored in a safe place ideally not susceptible to re or ood and for the most important docu-ments, it is a good idea to have backup copies stored in a second location to guard against theft and the most extreme disasters. • Computer based. Many people have taken advantage of standard computer programs like Microsoft Word and Excel, or online tools and repositories such as Evernote and Dropbox, to become more effective at organizing and man-aging their collections. These are good tools because they are inexpensive (assuming you already own the software) and provide protec-tion from most damage or loss when used prop-erly. But they require as much or more organi-zational effort than a paper-based system. With les scattered across mobile devices, image galleries and digital camera rolls, hard drives, thumb drives, cloud repositories and social me-dia accounts, it can be a real challenge to nd the specic item you are looking for and very difcult to organize and transfer to a new owner when the time comes. To make your computer based system more effective, you should cre-ate a well thought out le structure, organize around just a few standard programs or servic-es and be diligent about archiving and backing up all of your vehicle data regularly, preferably to one of the newer cloud-based services. • Online websites and fully integrated digital ser-vices A third option has emerged with the evolu-tion of the Internet and car focused websites. These new options include marque-specic websites and forums, like our own pca.org and associated regional sites, and some more gen-eral car-focused websites that sometimes allow a user to enter and manage basic information about their vehicles. Many of these sites are advertising based or offer very limited function-ality. With its introduction early this year, Ride-Cache (pronounced “ride-cash”) is a new option and has taken a different approach by targeting serious vehicle enthusiasts with a profession-ally developed, subscription-based model that is ad-free and does not promote products or services. The business model is built on the premise that owners that invest signicant time and money into their vehicles will pay a modest fee for a professionally developed service that is focused purely on enhancing their vehicle ex-perience and their vehicle’s value. RideCache is organized around the tasks, parts, papers, events and resources that are central to your vehicle ownership experience. The app enables very granular privacy and sharing controls for everything you include, allowing you to deter-mine which vehicles and items are completely private, viewable only to friends, or to the pub-lic. The reality is that organizing and managing your vehicle collection, like most anything in life that builds value, takes a fair amount of work. That is true regardless of the system you use – paper-based, computerized or an integrated online so-lution like RideCache. Every minute you spend building and preserving your car’s story adds value and provides enjoyment for those that will become involved with your vehicles in the future. Ultimately you will get back what you put in, as increased value when you sell the vehicle and as enjoyment in building, preserving and sharing your vehicle’s story prior to that time.[Sidebar] About RideCachePCA member Gary Bixler drives a 2014 Cayman S. Their son Brooks is also an active PCA member who just purchased his rst Porsche – a 2016 Cayenne GTS (with a big assist from PCA Niagara region!). Gary founded “RideCache,” a paid subscription online vehicle management service, for the purpose of providing car enthusiasts with a better solution to organize, manage and share their vehicle collections. RideCache was also an ofcial sponsor of 2015 Porsche Parade. You can learn more about RideCache at blog.ridecache.com and sign up for your own account at ridecache.com (your rst vehicle is free).
