Approximately 180 Porsches descended on Blowing Rock from Sept. 21-24 for the 2023 Porsche 356 East Coast Holiday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Porsche 356.

During the three day sold out event, Porsches and their drivers could be seen driving on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, touring the Perry Car Barn and just driving around the area.

Weak-ass troll attempt is lame even by your standards. Try harder.

This could be your big chance. Volunteer to be the performer at Blowing Rock, it's a role that suits you perfectly. :seasix:

blowing a rock (not quite as hard core as ****ing a brick). The driveway is your stage.

Big Bob's calling you a thief and a whole lot worse on another thread. Say's you're stealing water and power from your neighbor. At least you don't have a moon crater in your yard.
In 1992, I was in the market for an air cooled German car to commute in. 356's that were decent drivers were about 4k for the coupes. I stumbled on a '63 Beetle for $250 and bought it instead. Put 110,000 miles on it in the next ten years, getting over 30 mpg and having no issues, really. Now the same 356's are about 80-100k. Oh well.

Probably becuase FL rejected their sorry arses!!

FL, TX and kali, each, probably have more car shows and cars & coffee meets than the rest of the states combined.

You need to try harder, as here is the latest update.

Maybe they picked NC to give them a change of scenery since the PCA holds their annual Werks Reunion in conjunction with the Amelia Island (Florida) Concors every March.

I have been to this event multiple times and there are typically 500-600 Porsches in attendance :seasix:

Those old Bugs were tough. When I was young I worked with a lot of Germans immigrants and they loved those things.

They'd drive them, work 60-80 hours a week, live like paupers, some would then retire and go back to Germany and live like kings.

The facts do not matter to sadkin, as upsets his narrative.
he lives in his own world of illegal improvements and driveway rocks and allowable 1/8" variances.

Coming from someone that worked for Porsche, they are by far the most overrated over priced car ever. This is basically a VW. The same sheep that would vote for Biden pay this ridicules price for these cars. :yesnod:

I meant to ask..... what's a BACK OF DICKS? Was that a Floridian-slip or something?
