PCA...to join or not join?

Haven't seen much topic on this and tried a few searches...what are the main benefits to joining?

How good is the magazine...I get excellence, is their mag worth the fee on top of that?

What other benefits do you guys enjoy as being part of the club?

All of the events... from autocrossing to DE (Driver Education) track days to Porsche Platz hospitality at key events like ALMS. Then there are the people you connect with through the club.... for social events, tech assistance, etc. Overall I think there is good value for the minimal yearly fee.

P.S. Some benefits provided are exclusive to the club like track insurance.

Definitely worth joining. The Panorama magazine is great plus you will get an additional regional publication from your local chaper when you join that.
Good events nationwide.

$ 46 is that a per year fee? How often do you have renew membership?
I am been thinking about this too.

I would join. Its not expensive, the magazine is cool, the local pub you will get is cooler, the sticker is nice , and the events you will have access too and the people you will meet are great!

The PCA has been around for a long time. It has a great magazine and each regional chapter has DE's, auto x, shine and shows, etc and nationally, the yearly parade. It is a great way to meet other Porsche owners, gather information and learn more about your car. It's less than a tank of gas to join and well worth the cost.
