Join us for one of our brunch gatherings and meet dozens of current members.
First Saturday of the month in Gainesville, VA
We gather at Firebirds Wood-Fired Grille, located at 14020 Promenade Commons St, Gainesville, VA 20155. Located just off I-66, exit 43A, Firebirds offers indoor seating and a comprehensive menu with brunch selections. The restaurant opens at 11 am, so plan on arriving a few minutes early to allow time to look at the cars and meet other Porsche enthusiasts. Porsche parking is located behind the restaurant. https://gainesville.firebirdsrestaurants.com
Third Saturday of the month in Glen Echo, MD
We meet at the Irish Inn in Glen Echo at 11:00 AM. The Irish Inn is located at 6119 Tulane Ave, Glen Echo, MD 20812 and can be easily accessed from the Clara Barton Parkway by taking the Washington/Glen Echo exit - the Irish Inn will be at the top of the ramp. Parking is located in front and behind the Inn. If needed, there is additional parking up the road in front of Glen Echo Park. Depending on the weather, we meet in a private area outside, or have a private room upstairs inside the Inn. http://www.irishinnglenecho.com
The PCA Community
The Porsche experience reaches across the cars and the years to people, binding together the family whose name the cars bear, the men and women who design and build them, and those across the world who drive and cherish them.
We know the unbridled joy that a Porsche can provide, and we've built a community around that very feeling. The Porsche Club of America offers driving experiences, technical assistance and camaraderie second to none.
If you're as obsessed as we are, join today. The road awaits!
Not a Porsche Owner Yet?
If you're not yet a Porsche owner and are actively looking for a new or used Porsche to buy, consider our PCA Test Drive Program. The PCA Test Drive program provides you a six-month subscription to Porsche Panorama, the club's national monthly magazine, a temporary account to log on to the PCA website, and the monthly Test Drive News email newsletter. The magazine provides you with news and feature stories covering all aspects of Porsche as well as technical articles that impart valuable information about the cars we drive.
Member Perks
When you become a PCA member, you become a member of the largest independent, single marque club in the world. It's only fitting that you get a few perks, right? For starters, you will receive a free subscription to Porsche Panorama, our award-winning monthly magazine. You will also have access to these additional benefits:
- Discounts from many local and national merchants, including 4 local Porsche Dealers, on Porsche-related products, parts and services. (Worth the cost of membership alone!)
- A Tech Committee available to answer your questions. Specialists for all models plus exteriors/interiors and historic race cars.
- A Valuation Committee to help you establish the value of your Porsche for insurance purposes.
- Access to specialized insurance for Porsches that are second autos/pleasure only/limited use. Translates to money saved on premiums. (Leland-West Insurance - must be a PCA member.)
- PCA Club Racing Program - nationwide; modeled on vintage racing rules.
- Annual national convention. Porsche Parade gathers in a different location each year. Over 900 Porsches and 2000 folks gather for a week of nothing but Porsche.
- Group tours (PCA Treffen ®) to Europe and the Porsche factory.
The Mart
The Mart is a service for PCA members to buy and sell all things Porsche. If you need a part or are looking for a Porsche, chances are you'll find it here. If you have a part, car, or Porsche item to sell, this is the best place to do it. It's easy. Just choose Browse Ads, or if you are after a specific part, use our search engine. Submitting an ad is just as easy.
PCA doesn't handle the transfer of any money or goods, we give you the forum. The actual commerce is up to you.
