What is your first Porsche story? Share with us!
I’ve always dreamed of the day when I would own my very first Porsche. Little did I know that the dream would come true during the midst of a global pandemic. My cousin, Angela Ling, who had been a long-time member of the Porsche Golden Gate Region helped me find my 2016 Boxster Black Edition. Crazily it was housed down south in San Diego.
It was early in the pandemic, and the idea of traveling far and purchasing a car seemed daunting. But it didn’t stop me! The plane ride to San Diego was nearly empty and walking through airport security felt like a stroll through a library on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I wore double-layered masks, feeling somewhat suffocated, but the desire to own the right Porsche outweighed any fear. I had no idea what unexpected issues would present themselves during the process which made me more anxious.
When I finally laid eyes on the car in person, it was love at first sight. She became “my girl,” and I couldn’t wait to take her home. After an 8 hour exhilarating drive back home the very same day, I developed an incredible attachment for my new Porsche. We’ve been inseparable ever since!
We want to hear from you! What was your first Porsche, and what memories do you cherish? Whether it’s an adventure-filled road trip, a memorable encounter at a Porsche event, or the story of acquiring your first dream car, share your experiences with us! Send your story to membership@pca-ggr.org
Last but certainly not least, the warmest congratulations to you on your anniversary with GGR!
