Mid October 2025

 

Esteemed members of the ARPCA,

As the crisp air of autumn settles in and the days grow shorter, there’s no better time to get behind the wheel of your Porsche and hit the road. Fall offers more than just a change in temperature—it transforms the Allegheny region into a kaleidoscope of color. Whether you’re winding through tree-lined backroads or cruising scenic highways, the brilliant reds, oranges, and golds of the season create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable drives.

Find the best seasonal colors with the Explore Fall Foliage Map.

ARPCA’s fall calendar is in full swing! On October 18th, the Women of ARPCA will enjoy a casual, Porsche-only drive to Beachwood Place Mall. From October 24–26, members are invited to Virginia International Raceway for a top-tier HPDE event with NNJR-PCA. On October 25th, Porsche Pittsburgh hosts an open house, and on the 28th, the Touring Crew heads to the Allegheny Grille for a scenic lunch outing. November brings a Women’s Cigar & Bourbon Experience on the 5th, our monthly meeting at Hahn Auto Restoration on the 13th, and the ARPCA Holiday Party at the Grand Concourse on the 15th. December features another Touring Crew drive on the 2nd and the final monthly meeting of the year on the 11th at Porsche Pittsburgh. More information and links are provided below.

So grab your keys, your camera, and your favorite driving partner—and let’s chase the colors of the season together.

Andy Is Having An Art Sale

Due to certain occupational hazards, I have way too many art prints.  Some are framed, some are just loose posters.  All are originals, not reprints.  There are a few Porsche racing posters from the 1970s.  These are roughly 30 x 40 and show varying wear and/or patina.  Also a framed Momo Bennetton steering wheel and some other cool stuff.
