5/10/2025 – Spend Your Kids Inheritance Day
Join us for a Tour de Diablo where we’ll traverse the back roads of the Region making pit stops at our Region’s three authorized Porsche Dealers along the way. Our day starts at 9:00 AM with breakfast at Porsche Walnut Creek along with a pitch for our favorite cars. We’ll then blast over to Porsche Livermore for lunch, another pitch and a tour of the recently remodeled facility. Following lunch, it’s on the road again to Porsche Fremont for afternoon refreshments and a final presentation. In keeping with our theme, it’s the day before Mother’s Day which means it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up some Porsche swag for mom or yourself for that matter. If the urge overcomes you to go big or go home, forget the swag and throw caution to the wind. Afterall, each of our dealers have inventory available so just buy that Porsche that you’ve been eyeing. Think about what a great story it would make for Panorama! As the Ad says, don’t feel selfish about spending your kid’s inheritance; you can still pass the car on to the kids when you’re ready to move on. This event is sold out. Join the waitlist in case of cancellations.
