Hello esteemed members of the ARPCA,

So, the question I put to you is, what do you get someone for their 75th birthday?  Well, if you’re Porsche, you build yourself a 900 volt hypercar.  Dubbed the “Mission X,” it points to a possible direction Porsche may take in creating an all-electric successor to high-end low production run models like the 959, Carrera GT, and 918 Spyder.  They haven’t yet said whether or not this car is destined for production. Even if this vehicle doesn’t show up in showrooms for purchase, it is a very impressive demonstration of Porsche’s cutting-edge technology.  You can read more about the Mission X at Ars Technica, Auto Blog, and from Porsche themselves.

Switching direction from the future of motoring, we have an opportunity to look towards the past and celebrate the present.  I am, of course, talking about the 2023 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.  Below you will find a registration guide for this year’s events.

The Porsche touring crew has finalized venues for the rest of the year and all dates can be found on the calendar at ARPCA.com

Thank you and here’s to seeing you out there,

Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor.

The Porsche Touring Crew compadres are on the move again, this time in search of a new Western-style bar and restaurant in Sewickley called The Hotel and Rosa’s Cantina (the hotelandrosascantina.com)

The restaurant is dedicated to the Old West, complete with memories of – and even a bit of education about, both the Cowboy and Native American ways of life.   The back wall of the restaurant, for instance, is dedicated to the great chiefs, the Buffalo Soldiers and the Trail of Tears, and features native American headdresses, saddles and lariats.

You should start your Saturday, July 8th, in the company of fellow ARPCA members for an upscale cars-n-coffee event at The Lot at Edgewater restaurant in Oakmont, Pa. It’s a great way to start your weekend.

The Lot at Edgewater is a full-service restaurant that offers a wide menu selection including traditional favorites like Belgian waffles, house-cured bacon steak, made-to-order omelets as well as specialties such as avocado toast with pepper jam and a fried egg.  There is a full-service coffee bar with a large assortment of pastries and a full-service bar featuring brunch cocktails, alcoholic milkshakes, and craft beers.
