17,133 feet of climbing, four mountain crossings over 3,600 feet and almost no other cars between Staunton and Elkins. The best road I’ve driven in a long time, and I drove it like I had a wedding cake in the passenger seat.
Daily Excursions
Climax Before Breakfast
Maverick PCA turned a 23-mile straight shot from Fairview to Desert into 54 wet miles of North Texas back roads. We even went through Climax with 15½ miles still to go.
The Long Way Home: Eureka Springs to Talimena
We could have pointed the Porsches toward Dallas and gone home. Instead, Shane and I left Eureka Springs at 6:00 a.m., headed south for Mena and followed the Talimena Scenic Byway across the Ouachita Mountains. The pavement wasn’t always pretty. The views absolutely were.
Aged in Oak, Ridden Hard: 245 Miles Through the Ozarks
We skipped every brewery and winery on a route built around them, climbed almost 12,000 feet without noticing, and let a Porsche app pick a better road than we could.
Curvy When It Counts: A Late-Afternoon Loop Near Eureka Springs
After the last Zoom call of the day, we grabbed a Porsche ROADS-designed loop south of Eureka Springs — 48 miles of curves, hills, and blind driveways, followed by shrimp skewers overlooking the historic district. Here’s how it went.
The Blue Ostrich Run, Breakfast, and The Long Way to Whitesboro
Fourteen cars, two routes, 208 miles, and a breakfast in the middle. Here’s how Saturday morning went with Texas Sunrise Drives — and why 6:30 a.m. keeps drawing a crowd.
Fifteen Porsches, One Freight Train, and 108 Miles of Texas Therapy
What started as a plan for seven cars turned into fifteen Porsches chasing the sunrise across more than 100 miles of North Texas backroads before PlanoPoCo. Great roads, great friends, one freight train, and another reminder that the best drives are usually the unofficial ones.
Lake Placid to Fort Ticonderoga: 15 Porsches, Adirondack Roads, and a Fort Worth the Drive
Our Porsche Parade drive from Lake Placid to Fort Ticonderoga had the full recipe: 15 Porsches, Adirondack backroads, elevation changes, Lake Champlain views, a private fort tour, and one very improvised Starlink office next to the Skipper.
Black Hawk Recon Road Rally: Sanger to Prosper With Maverick PCA
A Maverick PCA gimmick rally from Sanger to Prosper through small-town North Texas, full of clues, signs, wrong turns, backroads, ranch country, and just enough confusion to keep the navigator fully employed.
Canyon Carver Done Right | Twisted Sisters with Maverick & Hill Country PCA
A near-perfect day in the Texas Hill Country leading Canyon Carver Group 2 through the Twisted Sisters—tight formation, perfect rhythm, and curves that just kept begging for more.
