Club Ferdinand, For Porsche-Loving Southerners

Another car club has been announced. This one, Club Ferdinand in Valle Crucis, North Carolina is for Porsche lovers. The entire stable of cars available to members are new Porsches, no vintage classics here. Memberships start at $3,900 a year (plus a one-time initiation fee of $2,900) for the club which is a fleet-sharing club rather than a fractional ownership system. The fleet includes the Porsche 911 Turbo S 996, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and Porsche Boxster S. The club is also associated with the The Mast Farm Touring Club which is near The Mast Farm Inn and provides a variety of services including visitor information, a multimedia lending library that includes written, audio and audio-visual documentation on the region, a boutique of local crafts, concierge travel services and even special made-to-order picnic baskets. While I like to see car clubs branching out into the more scenic and less urban regions, I think having a Porsche-only club is a bit like having a strip club that only features blue-eyed blondes. Part of the fantasy of a car club is the chance to experience a wide variety of different vehicles.
