Porsche recommends
Test the Cayenne and the very notion
of what a hybrid can be.
Your first thought behind the wheel of the new Cayenne S Hybrid may very well be a
question: “How on Earth can this be a hybrid?” The answer is hybrid technology, the
Porsche way. Honed on the track by revolutionary race cars like the 911 GT3 R Hybrid,
yet translated to the road. The Cayenne S Hybrid is the epitome of the Porsche Intelligent
Performance philosophy “more from less.” Come in for a test drive and find all the
answers on the road. Just like we did. Porsche. There is no substitute.
Experience the new Cayenne S Hybrid.

A Call for Articles
I
t is true; not everybody can be a
William Shakespeare, a Fyodor
Dostoyevsky, or an Alessandro
Manzoni. However, most people
do know how to write, many even
know how to write very well. Like
painting, writing is an art or, should
I say, can be an art. Creating a
beautiful painting, like writing an
interesting book, is work. Some
authors can write non-stop; others
take their time. This is true also for
a painter. One needs to be in the
right mood to create a masterpiece.
Professor Porsche also was, in a
way, an artist but also a brilliant
engineer. Indeed, his creations
were very different from those of
Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh,
and Pablo Picasso; nonetheless,
they too were pieces of art.
You might begin to believe that
I am proposing to open an art
department within the Inland
Northwest Region of the Porsche
Club of America. That is not
the case. I do have a much more
modest request.
We probably do have one of the
finest and most talented people
running our Publication activities.
Linda, however, needs the Region’s
cooperation. As she tries to fill
our Über Alles every other month,
some of us have to help to provide
worthy articles our membership
would like to read and appreciate.
More, we would like to see our
magazine to be considered as one
of the best in the PCA nation.
Exciting articles can get us there.
Let’s find the time and collaborate.
Just 30 to 40 articles per year
will do it. In other words, 30 to
40 members would have to write
just one article each, or 15 to 20
members writing two articles each.
Let’s do it! Be a contributor! It’s
your Club.
Thank you,
Klaus
Editor’s Note: As this pertains so
very much to my mission, I have
forgone my own “From the Editor”
submission for this issue. Thank
you, Klaus, for saying it so well
and thank you for the compliment.

From the President
W
e often, perhaps even
too often, try to get
away from home. Is
there something within us that
invites most of us to conquer,
to cover ever new territories, to
collect new experiences? Are we
dissatisfied with what our own
community has to offer or is this
just human nature? Then again,
who wouldn’t like to travel?
If your neighbor returns from
France, the Bahamas, or even
Australia, you wouldn’t want to
look “inexperienced.” Absolutely
not! On the contrary, you would
probably like to tell your neighbor
about your last trip to New York
City, to New Orleans, or even to
beautiful Hawaii. No, I am not
suggesting not to think “globally.”
The opposite: you should be
informed; you should know the
world, the good and the bad. Only
then will you be able to appreciate
what you really have. You will
be surprised to find out how much
more you have than you were ever
willing to believe.
From the President
Know the world! Yes, definitely.
Know more about the world,
again definitely. But this doesn’t
mean you should forget your ever
important immediate surroundings:
your home, your friends, your
neighbors. All of us are faced with
multiple tasks day in and day out
and seem to never have enough
time.
But do remember, there are so
many wonderful people living
right next to you. Some you know,
others you will never know. Think
about it for a moment. More
important yet, do something about
it! Go out and meet your neighbor.
I had one of the finest experiences
this past Saturday. I drove down
to Richland to attend, with many
Porsche friends and their friends,
this month’s Coffee Social at
Columbia Valley Luxury Cars. I
went there to meet with friends,
and share some stories, primarily
Porsche stories.
But, I also went for another reason.
When I learned that our INWR
PCA member Hal Copeland, soon
93 years old, reached his 40th PCA
Anniversary this past January,
it was clear to me that I had to
congratulate him personally on
this remarkable achievement. And
even much more importantly, Hal
had to share some fantastic stories.
Here is the most amazing one.
I don’t know if you ever knew
that Hal ran some 106 marathons.
More incredibly that he started
running at age 52. His last
marathon he ran in 2006. As he
told us, he finished last, yet was
first in his age group. Listening to
him reliving those marathons you
had to be proud to know Hal. I, for
one, have a huge respect for Hal
and what he has accomplished in
his life. Whenever you meet Hal
in the future, take a few minutes
and pay attention to what he has to
share with you. He is a wonderful
gentleman. Yes, I am very proud
to know him, and yes, I will share a
laugh with him whenever possible.

D
ear INWR member,
First of all, my most
sincere thanks to all who attended
last night’s Porsche Officer
Installation Dinner, held at the
Northern Quest Resort & Casino in
Airway Heights. And to those of
you who couldn’t and didn’t make
it, you missed a wonderful evening
of friendship, fun, and laughter,
and another terrific presentation of
pictures of past year’s drives and
events, arranged by [Bill Massy].
[Bill], my most sincere thanks
for all the work you so willingly
gave. As you will have noticed,
the excitement watching those
many scenes /drives was present
throughout the evening. Just a
wonderful job. Thanks go also
to our sponsors, to Porsche of
Spokane.
There were plenty of nice items to
win, including another beautiful
painting done by our own highly
talented member Larry Chmura.
Larry, thank you so much and
the very best of health to you. It
was a friend of Larry’s who had
carved, for this very occasion, a
true piece of art - a wooden 356.
It came however at a price. The
winner - actually the buyer - was
Bill Rambo. Bill, congratulations!
That was not yet all for Bill. He
also was given the first Dale Davis
Memorial Award, sponsored by
Dale’s wife Maxine. Maxine,
thank you so much. I had invited
Maxine to join us for dinner; she,
however, declined. It would have
been just too difficult for her. This
Dale Davis Memorial Award will
remain with the winner for one
year and then move on to the next
victor. Other awards were given,
beginning with The President’s
Award, won and well earned by
Karch and Linda Polgar; the Spark
Plug Award won by Rick Jordan;
the Copeland Award won by Bill
and Judy Addis; and finally the
Herman Jackson poses with his prize, an original Chmura
March - April 2013
Sluggo Award given to Keith
Graves. Congratulations and many
thanks to all of you.
Allow me to thank once again Matt
and his team for two wonderful
years. The progress our [region]
has achieved under his leadership
in these last two years was
significant. We will do our best
to continue what Matt and his
team started. Matt, the awards
- for those of you who were not
present last night, Matt earned not
just one but two awards - are to be
considered an expression of thanks
to you, also to Janet who shared
and gave so willingly of her time
throughout these last two years.
W hile I had the intent to be brief
during my few remarks, I did fail.
I had actually planned to say much
more, but was reminded in a polite
way by Bob Westmoreland that it
was enough. Bob was probably
right. When I was asked what I
would like to see us, our [region],
accomplish this year, I was well
prepared to tell you exactly that.
But I have to admit, it would have
taken more than 20 minutes to
get it done. It has to be my poor
English that I do need more time
to get a point across others can do
within seconds.
Here are then, hopefully very
quickly [are] the key points I
would like to see us concentrating
on during the coming 12 months:
increase our membership;
increase overall participation in
our drives and events - please,
Über Alles

Chuck Rodman’s Story
M
e & my Porsches
During my 1st DE
session at Spokane County
Raceway Park in Oct 2012, it
dawned on me that I had been
around Porsches for nearly 50
years. Considering that I have only
owned my most favorite car for 12
years, it’s quite a story.
Back to the DE event. Before my
70th birthday I signed up for the
BMW Driving event, with some
trepidation, as I had not driven
my 993 on the track. It’s been
something I have wanted to do
since my 9 laps at Daytona in a
NASCAR track car in 2011. Doing
148 mph at Daytona International
Speedway is much more than I had
expected. Obviously, it’s nowhere
near or even like a Porsche; but
it’s a speed/adrenalin thing. So,
when the DE day showed up on the
INWR-PCA calendar I got out my
checkbook.
Taking your pristine 1996 993 out
to the track for the first time creates
an adrenalin build up that begins
once you send off the check. As
the day approaches, you hope for
good weather, listen to anyone’s
prior experiences and suggestions,
and get more attuned to your daily
driving methods. I even bought
some painters tape to protect the
wheel well openings from flying
rocks based on some 3rd hand
advice which didn’t apply. It’s
funny how your anticipation of
track driving creeps into your every
day driving.
March - April 2013
The day is cool and bright, all
that anyone could ask for on your
first day REALLY driving your
Porsche at “the Track”. Thankfully
I wasn’t the only newbie at the
Track. We all were enamored at
the opportunity to see what our
cars could do with us behind the
wheel. It was not until I got behind
the wheel with an instructor in the
passenger seat that I found out how
little I knew. After eight 30-minute
sessions over 2 days, I realized that
there was still a lot to be learned
about driving my car. Before you
get to the Track you think you are a
pretty good driver. Then after you
get a little education, you realize
how much you still can learn about
driving AND how much more your
Porsche can perform than you can
drive. Can’t wait for the next DE!!
Back to my 50 years with Porsches.
It all started when I was assigned
to Stuttgart while in the Army
back in the early 1960’s. My
barracks were just over the hill
from Zuffenhausen, so when I
had to drive my OIC (officer in
charge) to Frankfurt, my route
took me right by the front door of
the Porsche works. Frequently, I
would see several of the racing cars
parked outside while being worked,
repaired or serviced. Other times,
as I pulled onto the Autobahn, I
would see a long string of Porsches
coming off the Autobahn, with
their protective bras on after their
test run. This started me thinking
about the car, but as a PFC it
was WAY out of my price line.
Reading Road & Track magazine
Article by Chuck Rodman
gave me more insight as to the
handling and performance specifics
thereby adding to my limited
knowledge. However, the images
and information stuck in my head
and over the years a Porsche was
my idea of the car I REALLY
wanted to have. But college,
getting married, raising two boys,
and spending 30 years working
all over the world sidetracked my
dream. The longtime family joke
was that if I hadn’t married my
first wife, Cheryl, I would be rich
and have a Porsche. When she
died in 2002, her insurance payoff
provided the funds for my first
Porsche – a 1982 SC! Boy, do you
really learn a lot after getting your
first Porsche. Things like broken
starter cables, incorrect tires on the
front, and A/C problems to name a
few. All of these experiences made
me a smarter driver and expanded
my appreciation of the car. When
dating my eventual wife, Shirley,
we took in the Yakima Wine Tour
and we both got a full appreciation
of what a 20-year old car with
120,000 miles on it was capable
of doing. Trying to keep up with
a string of cars driving to the
Columbia Crest Winery at 80+
mph with no strain or difficulty
was a serious adrenalin rush
for me...not so sure about my
passenger. As I learned more about
Porsches in general, after joining
the local Porsche club, I longed
for a newer air-cooled car. My
Internet and local search educated
me on the ins & outs of buying a
newer car. The local dealer had
a bright yellow 993 in the lot one

winter. The more I looked at it and
drove it, the more I realized that it
was the car I wanted. I got hooked
and decided to take the plunge
and bought the car. It didn’t take
much driving to realize that what
I had bought was a quantum leap
over the SC and it was ALL very
positive.
Not long afterward, I decided to
dispose of my 8 year old Chrysler
T&C and we started looking at
SUV’s for a replacement. As it
happened a local club member had
a maroon 2004 Cayenne he was
looking to sell and we made a deal.
Shortly after that we took a long
trip to Corpus Christi, Texas, via
Denver with the Cayenne. Enroute
we encountered a bothersome
problem with one headlight
assembly, so I stopped at a dealer
in San Antonio to try and do a
road fix. While I was shopping
for parts, Shirley was looking at
another/newer Cayenne. But the
dealer wanted the title to the car
before we could close the deal.
Who carries the car title with you
when you travel, so the deal fell
through. During our overnight in
Albuquerque, on the way home, I
checked the local Porsche dealer’s
website and found he had a 2008
Cayenne S that fit our needs. After
looking at it closely and driving
it, we made an offer. Because the
dealer didn’t need the title until
after we got home, we closed the
deal and drove home in a blue 2008
Cayenne S - after leaving Spokane
in a maroon 2004. There were
several family members in Denver
who didn’t pick up on the color

change of the cars as the interiors
of the two cars were the same. It
has been fun telling the story to
family and friends.
As you can see, I’ve been a long
term Porsche nut and have even
infected my wife with a little
interest in Porsches. She hasn’t
gotten the driving bug, but she
surely appreciates the comfort
and ease the Cayenne presents.
Our joint interest in Porsches has
taken us to Dubai and to Parade in
Keystone, Colorado. Both events
added to and broadened our interest
and knowledge about our two
German cars. These events and the
numerous local drives, poker runs,
and occasions have reinforced
our interest and confirm the fact
that it’s not totally the cars; but
additionally, the neat people that
drive Porsches.

Klaus’ Korner:
What Have You Been Missing?
W
hat have you been
missing, nearly hitting?
Racing provides a plethora of
tools, all of which can be applied
to everyday driving and when
used, can help the everyday driver
in becoming a far more proactive
rather than reactive and ultimately
safer driver. Using simple driving
techniques/tools we can learn
to become far more aware of
our surroundings and by simply
making ourselves more aware; we
can avoid becoming a statistic.
The basics of seating position,
hand position, and visual skills,
learned well, will keep us more
alert and make us safer drivers.
Unfortunately, most of us have
never been taught the basics...
worse yet, we pass down the
same skill sets that we have
learned, resulting in compounded
poor driving skills. Don’t shoot
the messenger here. I am only
reporting on what I have seen and
see everyday.
“THERE IS A BLIND SPOT IN
MY CAR” Sorry, no there isn’t!
Reality is that most licensed drivers
have never been taught how to
adjust their rear view and outside
mirrors properly. Knowing what

is going on around and next to
you would be good information to
have, wouldn’t it? Allow me to
rephrase: if you are traveling at
70 miles per hour, you and your
car are covering about 100 feet of
asphalt per second. Count to one…
you have now covered 100 feet.
Now then, would knowing what is
going on around you all the time be
good information to have? Yes?
Excellent…let’s fix one of the
biggest problems facing drivers
today. We can not fix everyone’s
lack of driver education, but, if
we start with ourselves, we have a
far better chance of avoiding that
costly accident or worse….here we
go.
Proper mirror adjustment: If we
adjust our rearview and outside
rearview mirrors properly, a
number of things will reveal
themselves to us, like “Oh, my god,
there is another car there”!!! So
the answer to the question, “what
have I been missing, rather nearly
hitting?” will fix itself, starting
now.
Sitting in our cars, the seat back
should be nearly straight up; I’ll
cover why in another segment.
The inside rearview mirror should
Article and photos
by Klaus Kindor
be positioned so that you can see
directly behind you but also to
both sides of the vehicle. NOTE:
The rear view mirror is NOT to be
used for applying make-up or for
shaving while driving! NOT, NOT,
NOT!
Once we have adjusted the
rearview mirror properly we can
begin to focus on both outside
rearview mirrors. The outside
mirrors should be positioned
in such a way as so to see the
lane next to you but, not ANY
PORTION OF THE SIDE OF
YOUR CAR. If you can see any
piece of the side of your car in
your outside rearview mirrors, they
are improperly adjusted; period.
There is no argument here. I have
have people tell me, “I need to be
able to see the side to give me a
reference.” No, no you don’t...the
back of the car is going to follow
the front of the car, folks, as they
are both going the same direction,
I promise. And although you
may have done a masterful job of
waxing and detailing your car, you
don’t need to admire your work
while driving. Also, no-one is
going to try to steal your gas cap at
70mph; I promise that too.

Klaus’ Korner
Proper mirror adjustment (right photo) reveals traffic approaching your side
The point is to get the outside
rearview mirrors adjusted so far
out that you can actually see the
lane next to you -- all of the lane
next to you -- up until the point
that your peripheral vision can take
over; yes the mirrors need to be
adjusted that far out! I know this
is going to seem odd at first, but, it
will become natural very quickly
and I promise you’ll find yourself
asking “why have I been doing this
so wrong and for sooooo long?” A
new world will open up for you,
I promise. You will see things
you have never seen before, rather
nearly hit.
Once all three mirrors have been
properly adjusted you will also
find that there is no blind spot.
It doesn’t matter what you are
driving...don’t believe me? Next
time you see me, I’ll be delighted
to help you with your own car, just
ask. Consider it self preservation.
Most importantly you’ll be able to
scan the three mirrors in your car
and if done often, (about every 8
seconds) and diligently, you will
always know what is coming up to
you. You will always know what
is going to go past you and you
will always know what is next to
you. ALWAYS! You will actually
see the truck, the motorcyclist, the
car…you’ll know where there is
March - April 2013
space should you need it. You’ll
know if you can make a lane
change to avoid an incident….even
without having to turn your head!!
I can hear you already….did he
really say “make a lane change
without turning your head?” Yes,
yes I certainly did and I know
what you were told. Here is a little
test...play along, it is fun and an
eye opener. Remember, cars will
always go where we look (another
lesson for another day) but, they
do. So, put your hands out in
front of you like you are holding a
steering wheel...do it. Your hands
should be positioned at 3:00 and
9:00 ( I know, I know) …now, look
over your left shoulder. If you
STOP and look at your hands, they
have already turned your steering
wheel to the left! You have already
made the lane change, but, you still
don’t know if that lane is occupied
by another vehicle, perhaps even a
motorcycle. Your car goes where
you look!
If your mirrors are properly
adjusted and IF you are scanning
your mirrors about every 8 seconds
and IF you are paying attention to
everything that is going on around
you all the time, you will rarely
of ever have to turn your head to
make a lane change. This allows
your eyes the time to look ahead
and look for space. I have never
hit space and damaged a car. If as
a driver I am also always aware of
what is around me, I will always
know where space is available
should I need it and THAT folks, is
darned good information.
INWR
There’s enough room for a car in that space you can’t
see in this incorrectly adjusted mirror.

PedrosGarage:
Freeze Your Road Grime
Article written and graphics submitted
by Pedro P. Bonilla, GCR PCA
Reprinted with permission
In this era of eco-friendliness where everyone wants to be green and help preserve and protect the planet,
sometimes it seems that we can’t.
I mean, how can you remove years and years of road grime on a Porsche’s engine, tranny, and under carriage
without using harsh chemicals such as degreasers, solvents, abrasives, acids, etc., etc.?
Well, I just ran into the coolest and most eco-friendliest way of doing this.
I went to visit a friend, who is the owner a local Porsche Shop in the area, and when I got there I saw something
that made my heart skit a beat or two.
They had a Carrera GT (yes, the $400,000
supercar from Porsche) on a lift and I could
have sworn that they were sandblasting the
$20,000 CCCB (Carbon Ceramic Composite
Brakes) rotors and calipers. I though my
friend had just lost it!
I quickly ran over to stop the madness, but as I
got closer, I saw that what was coming out of
the nozzle wasn’t sand, but what looked like
water vapor.
“Cool”, I said to the owner, “using steam to
clean the car?” “Nope”, he said, “that’s not
steam, it’s CO2 “ (carbon dioxide).
I was immediately intrigued and started asking
questions:
“So, what is it and how does it work?”, “How
do you generate CO2 under pressure?”, “Will
it peel off the caliper’s paint?”, “What other
chemicals do you add to the CO2 in order to
clean?”, and a bunch of other ones.
He stopped what he was doing and started to
explain:
“This is called Cryo Detailing and we’re
the first ones in the South East to apply the
technology to automotive use. It has a very
powerful, specially designed air compressor
to blast away oil, grease, and stuck-on grime
using only CO2”.
March - April 2013

PedrosGarage
“It is safe on paint, soft rubber, decals, etc.” and
he then showed me how safe it was by blasting the
beautiful, Carrera Silver, left fender on the Carrera
GT with his nozzle. I carefully inspected it, and it
was perfect!
“We do not add anything else. It’s just pressurized
air and CO2“. “Come with me, let me show you
what’s inside the machine”. I followed him and
we went to a giant blue plastic bin which as he
opened it I could see that it was full of what looked
like steaming rice. It was obviously rice-like CO2
pellets.
As they were reloading the unit again with the pellets I took a handful (which almost burnt my hand from the
intense cold) to photograph them, next to a penny to give you an idea of their size.
“The machine is fairly simple”, he said, “it’s a big air compressor which generates very dry, pressurized air, then
uses the pressure and a venturi to add the CO2 pellets to the stream of compressed air through a hose. Before it
reaches the end, we install the correct size-for-the-task mesh and nozzle for the particular job we’re doing”.
“So, depending on the air pressure, on the dry-ice particle size and on the nozzle’s diameter and length we can
do such delicate work as clean the white thread’s stitching on a leather seat or we can strip off paint.”
“Why dry ice?” I asked.
He answered: “The cold temperature, which can be brought down to 111°F below zero basically deep-freezes
the grime which is then blasted away by the air pressure and the small dry ice pellets. That’s why there’s no
residue other than the dirt we’ve just removed.”
“So did you guys invent this or what?”
“No”, he said, “this technology is actually used by Porsche and its dealers in Germany, as a standard service.
We’re just the first in the area to offer this service.”

But, the skeptic that I am I said: “well, this is nice and dandy on a concour-ready Carrera GT, but does it really
work on old, baked-in crud as that on my 14 year-old, 214,000 mile Boxster? ;) ;)
He said, “bring it in tomorrow and I’ll show you.”
The next day I was there bright and early with my old girl.
First I took a couple of “before” pictures to have something to compare. Now, you be the judge:

But maybe what impressed me the
most was how delicately the Cryo
Detail takes off the grime but leaves
the part completely undisturbed.
Take a look at this aluminum
suspension part which was scribed at
the factory. You can see how well it
cleaned, yet you can still see that the
original aluminum surface was not
altered (sandblasted) in any way.
This is really interesting technology, in particular for engine builders, car restorers and councour d’legance
enthusiasts or just anyone who wants their Porsche as clean as possible, even in places that no one ever sees.
And the best part – it’s eco-friendly!
If Cryo Detail is not in your area, wait for it, or better yet ask for it.
