Guys / Girls,

On average what do you pay for membership of a local Porsche Club.

I enquired in Qld- they wanted over $100 and were real snobs to me once I said I had a 924.

Yea they wanted $100 for a year and seemed like A-grade arseholes. I got into a conversation with two blokes boasting about how much it cost them to fix their crashed GT2's - not my scene.

I bought my first 911 new in 1969. I too wanted to join the Metro NY PCA. When I applied they asked me who was my sponser. I walked away and they lost me for 18 years. Yes, they were snobs and I did not want to be with them. Later the group changed and I joined.

To tell you the truth I had a good time in the Metro club. Good bunch and over 40 activities a year. I know I was the PR Chairman.

I now reside in Florida and I am afraid I have come against the same dopey crowd. I never tell them I have a 911 so I tell them I own a 931 and they don't know what it is.

Enjoy what you have for whatever reason. Me?? It is therapy.

PCA dues here in the States runs $46 per year.

Have a great region here in SE Michigan.

Don't do 40 events a year but have a varied range of them from DE's to a Club Race, to driving tours and speaker meetings. Very hard to not fine a spot you'd enjoy and fit in.

Been a member since the mid 90's and have not met one "Snob" yet and never a problem with acceptance of owning a 924.

My father pays about 100$ a bit less than that, and since im in the same family i pay 30$. I´m only attending at driving events, wich is :
an autocross series. Actually plenty lokal series with a national finale. Pretty nice, dont cost anything extra. About 15 trackdays, wich costs ~46$ each. The people at least at the driving events are mostly not snobbish, never heard a bad word for driving a 924, lots of people think its fun that there actually is someone who trackdrives a 924. And are impressed by how fast you can drive with em (regardless of car they drive). But I think it depends a lot, i´ve heard from my uncle that porsche club france are the same as you describe, snobbish and not that fun. (Even though he drove a 993 back then).

I'm a new member of the PCA in the Northeast. So far I have been to one event and they are really nice. I even had a GT2 owner tell me how much he loves the 924. All in all its been a good experience.

You're right about PCA dues.

They're $42/year.

Hey, when you're over 50 senior moments happen!!!!
