Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles

Driving my favorite Porsche at the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles was an intoxicating experience of accelerated pleasure

It’s sometimes weird what brings you to a certain experience. For the Porsche Experience, I remember being on a sales call with my brokerage. One of the higher ups bragged and said that he would book the real estate agent who used a title company the most, in a certain period of time, a Porsche experience at the Porsche Experience Center in Carson.

Another time, I was out to dinner with a former friend and Channel. The person bragged incessantly about how his company took him to the Porsche Experience Center for a day of driving cars and dining at the restaurant.

In both cases, a man bragged about how high and esteemed driving at the Experience Center was. One wanted to encourage it as a method for agents to hit a company income goal.

Another wanted to brag about it being a work perk.

I said to myself – “I don’t need a man to buy this for me. If I want it, I’ll just buy it for myself.”

So, I did.

An all electric PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO  – in blue, of course – was my car of choice. And it was absolutely gorgeous – and oh so much fun to drive.

It was a lead follow type of experience, with the instructor speaking through a radio through the passenger seat. Honestly, I prefer this way rather than instructor as a passenger method.

The track was open and unique. I was able to do a various amount of things (drifting, 0-60 in 5ish seconds) that were just… dumb fun.

My favorite part of the course was taking the Taycan out on the Acceleration Straight.

THAT was FIRE.

My least favorite? The Low Friction Circle. Not a fan, at all of drifting. So much so that when I later did the BMW Performance Driving School Experience in Spartanburg, South Carolina, I opted to simply watch other people do it, rather than do it myself.

Which was absolutely fine by me. I’m not going to be pressured to do something I don’t like, just to have a dick swinging contest with ego driven men. Not my style.

But what is?  Driving a Porsche Taycan Turbo. That car is sexy AF.

And – you know what’s also fire? Loving an experience so much that you buy a friend the experience as well as a thank you present. Plus, driving back and taking photos of another friend during his experience.

Why? For the pleasure of watching them have fun because they helped you through a challenging time.

Karma.
