Can't make it to Charlotte, but Chicago will be hosting in a few years.

I've been a member for two years now and knucklehead that I am I didn't know that their was a discount at dealers for PCA members. How much is the discount? I guess you have to know and ask for it when at the dealer.

Member for 38 years. Only entered the 78 Parade in San Diego, but have sniffed around two other ogling cars. Will hit the Charlotte Parade for a day or two.

You can (at least could) usually pick-up tickets to some events like meals from people who don't want to attend that event. I once had lunch with Joe Rucz from R&T.

And met several Porsche family members and other big dogs.

The dealer discount for PCA members depends on the dealer.
I think my big dealer here in NJ gives you 10%. So the membership pays for itself right there.
Ray Catena in Edison, NJ may have the best waiting area of any service shop I've ever been to: Pool Table, Virtual Golf, complimentary drinks, donuts and sandwiches, 10 internet kiosks, projecton tv, CLEAN bathrooms and a complimentary wash. The largest service garage I've ever seen, maybe 30 lifts.

I'm a 19 year member and a director of the Milwaukee club. I've been to the last 7 and am registered for Charlotte. We have more fun getting there and back than at the Parade. We have a group that may grow as high as 8 cars parading from Milwaukee.

Yes, Perfectlap has it about right...generally 10% across the board, but I have rec'd 15% on some items. Definately worth the cost of the membership.
