Introduced in Europe in 1993 and North America in 1995, the 993 marked the last air-cooled 911.

Porsche's variable induction system (Varioram) boosted performance across the range. The exclusive 993 RS and turbocharged models became highly collectible. The widebody C4S and C2S variants brought turbo styling to naturally aspirated engines, blending performance with luxury. Production ended summer 1998 as the water-cooled 996 arrived, closing an era.

Spotlight Tobias Raya's 1996 993 Carrera Coupe

In September 2025, Tobias purchased his 1996 993 Carrera Coupe through an estate sale in New York. Upon arrival, the car still wore a New York State Sheriff's Institute badge from its original owner. This discovery felt like destiny, a sign that both man and machine had found what they were searching for. Tobias added his own detective's badge underneath it. Two badges. One 993. A legacy continued through a shared passion for the ultimate driver's car.

After a 20-year career in law enforcement, most of it as a detective, Tobias survived a gunshot wound to the face in 2006. He recovered and kept working for years, until injuries and surgeries forced medical retirement.

The 993 is the last of Porsche's air-cooled 911s, the final model before the brand evolved into the water-cooled era. For Tobias, that timing hit different. As one chapter closed for Porsche, his law enforcement chapter closed too. The story between the 993 and Tobias is one of transforming and evolving into the next chapter, together. "The 911 matured and evolved. So am I." Currently finishing a master's degree in clinical psychology, Tobias is heading towards his next chapter as a therapist, helping others navigate their own difficult periods. A detective who solved crimes is now becoming a clinician who helps people solve themselves.

Since picking up the 993, he's done various work on the car: repairs, maintenance, restoration, and personal touches that leave his signature on it. Ask him about it over coffee at one of our Cars & Coffee events, and you'll get the technical details. But at its heart, the real story represents what the 993 means to Tobias: survival, perseverance, and freedom. The ability to keep moving forward when life gets impossibly hard, and the choice to enjoy what unfolds next. The dual badges aren't decoration.

They're proof that the past doesn't disappear; it sits alongside who you're becoming. —Editor

President

Too many cars, not enough time! Join me for an ocean swim, bike ride, run or hike.

Afterwards let's go hang out at a car gathering.

STEVE DOLL

Happy belated April Fools’ Day! I hope you didn't get fooled. I told my wife we bought a beautiful red convertible. This has a special meaning for us since she claimed our previous red car was the reason she was getting tickets.

She said, “No more red cars!” So, she really didn't fall for my April Fools’ joke.

Springtime has finally arrived and you know what that means? Later sunsets and longer days for more driving. In past years, all the region presidents would meet in person for a Zone meeting at the Porsche dealership in Ontario. This year, your new VP Bill Hallier and I only had to drive to Woodland Hills. It's interesting to get updates on PCA National and what the other regions are doing. We hope to get more events planned with the other regions. We did learn many of the regions have a social director or chair for destination events or gatherings. As an example, our annual Holiday Party would fall in that category, which will also be one of two new member events this year. A new member event every other year is just not often enough.

Treffen at Sea will be cruising for six days down the West Coast with a stop in Santa Barbara on September 24th. VP Bill is in contact with them, so we hope to have some interaction when they come ashore. More details to follow and suggestions welcome. UnStock-I hope you were able to see the photos and write-up by Steve Geldman in the previous Der Auspuff.

I volunteered and was sorry I didn't bring my '69 911 T out to it. There were so many cool cars. Greg from Legacy Autosport was the star. Well May is going to the dogs! We are having a dog day at the Santa Barbara Cars & Coffee at Leadbetter Beach May 9th. I will have my dog Bibi (shown above), and no, she will not be arriving in my Porsche. Let's try something new and go for a dog walk afterwards.

actually his white 911 coupe. On May 16th we will be having our 2nd annual fundraiser breakfast at Aloha Steakhouse. Thanks to the owners for opening just for us. We will park on the top floor of the parking structure overlooking the Ventura Pier again. We raised $10k for Alzheimer's last year. If you can't make the event, I'll collect donation checks at our Cars & Coffee events. Let's go for a walk afterwards onto the Pier or up to the Ventura River and back.

Most of all, thanks to the board and volunteers that make this such a great Club! I look forward to seeing you at an event or at one of our sponsors and/or advertisers places of business. It's not just the cars, it's the people!

Spring season is upon us. Warmer pavement, top-down drives, and longer days are finally back. I can’t believe a full year has gone by being your editor.

We are now on our sixth issue, and what an experience it has been. Many of you have come to know me, and you know how much I love our marque and, more importantly, the people behind it - you. I have also felt incredibly welcomed by the “big dogs” - our Board, who have embraced new ideas and given me, quite literally, the freedom to explore them. Thank you.

This issue brings a variety of stories, from our Valentine’s event earlier this year, to a visit to the Adamson House for a bit of cultural exploration, all the way to hitting the track at the world-renowned Willow Springs. Love, culture, and heat-cycled rubber are all on the menu. You will also find plenty of upcoming events featured throughout. Keep an eye out for the flyers, and plan your next PCA adventure. You won’t want to miss out on these events.

I truly enjoyed developing the new Spotlight segment. In this issue, we feature a particularly striking 993 from one of our members. I will continue to highlight more cars like this, the ones that really grab your attention and tell a story.

Since our last issue, I have also reached out in an effort to bring more designminded members into the fold, whether to collaborate directly or provide technical and creative support. I have been genuinely excited to see the interest this has sparked. If you are looking to expand your creative outlet or

Story by Lionel Neff - Valentine's Day by PCA SBR Photography by Bill Hallier

The Sweetest Drive of the Year DER AUSPUFF

O

n February 14, the siren call went out for Porsche lovers and their Valentines to answer the call: LET’S GO! The day began with the regular Santa Barbara Cars & Coffee at Shoreline Beach Café from 8-9 a.m. Next, those signed up

for the Valentine’s Drive and Dine event gathered at Porsche of Santa Barbara. Hosted

by Sales Manager Rene Verbrugge, they enjoyed a delightful continental breakfast, admired the latest Porsche offerings, and connected with fellow enthusiasts.

With 124 participants and 65 Porsches registered, the 10:15 a.m. pre-drive briefing was essential. The large group was split into six, led by Lionel Neff, Bill Hallier, Bob Clark, Liam Murphy, Garry Jones and John Cross, ensuring a smooth and safe departure. Soon after, the caravan of Porsches blasted off on a 70-mile journey through Santa Barbara’s scenic backroads.

The route climbed Highway 154 over San Marcos Pass, where drivers were treated to panoramic views of a remarkably full Lake Cachuma as they crested the summit.

Descending, the drive passed through the charming town of Los Olivos, known for its boutique wineries and its role as a center for the Santa Ynez Valley wine region. To make things interesting, we turned onto Foxen Canyon Road, named an American Viticultural Area in 2013. This stretch offered a wondrous exercise course for enthusiastic Porsche drivers, replete with challenging curves and spectacular views of vineyards along the way. After recent rains, the hillsides were resplendently green and lush.

That, my friends, is what our PCA SBR Club is all about.

At the Zaca Station Road intersection, we turned left toward the junction of Highways 154 and 101. We then headed south on the 101 for a scenic drive through Gaviota Pass, named by the Portola expedition in 1769. Beyond the pass, the route revealed stunning Pacific Ocean vistas, with contrasting clouds and streams of sunlight playing joyously across the boundless water. At the 70-mile mark, our serpentine line of Porsches exited at Cathedral Oaks Road and made the short trip to The Timbers Roadhouse restaurant on Winchester Canyon Road. The Timbers itself is rich with local history. The land was purchased in 1952, and salvaged timbers from the dismantled Ellwood Pier, which had been shelled by a Japanese submarine in 1942, were used to build the restaurant. Even the large dining room fireplace has a story, constructed from rocks quarried during the building of Bradbury Dam at Lake Cachuma.

Upon arrival, we found abundant parking for our treasured Porsches. Inside, we were warmly greeted by hosts Brooke and her mother Kim, who led us to a warm and inviting dining area. The Valentine’s luncheon menu offered a choice of tri-tip with baked potato, chicken piccata with noodles, halibut with rice pilaf, or vegetable lasagna, all preceded by a green salad. For dessert, a choice of apple, peach or blackberry pie à la mode capped off the meal. The Timbers staff did a remarkable job serving the large group efficiently, with food arriving warm and delicious.

All in all, though bustling with events, the day went off without a hitch. The weather cooperated, as did the Corvette Club in an adjacent dining room. Most importantly, everyone shared a delightful time with good friends, enjoying each other’s company.

That, my friends, is what our PCA SBR Club is all about.

Fruit of the Vine Drive and Dine At Vega Vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills July 22, 2026

S

ummer has arrived, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than behind the wheel of your Porsche, favorite passenger beside you, carving through the hills and backroads of Santa Barbara County. Our group of wine and food enthusiasts will gather in Santa Barbara and set off on a memorable drive. Warm weather, winding roads, and a family-style luncheon with wine pairings await. We’ll cross the San Marcos Pass on Highway 154, glide past Lake Cachuma, and roll through Los Olivos before turning onto Foxen Canyon and Ballard Canyon. Vineyard after vineyard lines the route, each encouraging a friendly “thumbs up” as we pass. From there, we’ll cruise through Solvang, enjoy the tree-lined curves of Alisal Road, then take a short sprint on Highway 101 North to Santa Rosa Road. Our destination: Vega Vineyards, a storybook farm and ranch in the Santa Rita Hills, steeped in early California history (think the legend of Zorro).

At Vega, we’ll be seated family style beneath a large trellis and oak trees. The farm-to-table meal begins with beet and Caesar salads, followed by generous portions of salmon and short ribs. Each course is paired with Vega’s Sparkling Rosé, Pinot, and Dal Prado wines. After lunch, enjoy a wine pour and a walking tour of the estate.

The price for the drive, gourmet meal, wine pairings, and tour is $98 per person, plus a $2 MSR fee. This is no ordinary drive and dine—it’s an unforgettable experience. Registration opens May 10 and closes July 10, or when the event sells out. Register at msreg.com/sbrvega2026. Questions: Lionel Neff at zuma13@msn.com.

Pine Mountain Club Drive and Dine

and SBR Newcomer Member Recognition Event July 25, 2026

E

xperience the thrill of Highway 33—a mountain drive that rivals the best roads in Europe. Gather in Ventura at 9:30 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. launch, then slip into your waiting Porsche for a stunning 70-mile journey. You’ll carve through the steep gorges of Los Padres National Forest, top summits over 5,000 feet, and follow the Jacinto Reyes National Forest Scenic Byway—better known as the Maricopa Highway—as it winds through dense forest, dramatic rock formations, and the rugged Sespe Creek gorge. Our spirited ascent delivers us to the 5,160-foot Pine Mountain Summit, where the Cuyama Valley sprawls below in spectacular fashion. On the descent, massive white sandstone outcrops near Rose Valley catch the light. After the technical twists, we pause briefly at the Ranger Station, then roll on to the Pistachio Factory for a relaxed break—grab some fabulous pistachios, drinks, and snacks.

Stage two continues on Hwy 33, merging onto Hwy 166 North and then Hudson Ranch Road. Here, your Porsche truly proves its worth: curves, curves, and more curves of every shape and description. Beware of “smile cramps.” We climb from the valley floor at 3,000 feet to Pine Mountain Club at approximately 6,000 feet, where a private luncheon awaits at the Condor Restaurant (burger—veggie option available—chicken sandwich, or BLT, served with salad, fries, and a beverage). After lunch, we recognize our newest club members.

All this for $42/person. Reservations open April 30 at msreg.com/sbrpinemountain2026. Questions? Lionel Neff at zuma13.msn.com.
