Air Meets Coffee Gathering at the @petersenmuseum on October 8th for @luftgekuhlt 8. Sold out event that lead us on a great day of two drives. Everyone's most admired collector Bruce Meyer brought the newly purchased 1973 911 RSR driven by Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood in IMSA and Trans Am. A 718 RSK among the notables that morning. Octobers in Socal are excellent. March 23rd we’re bringing Mr. @bartkuykens to @mpcars Fulton Market (rsvp in bio). Bart will be signing 'The Essential Love Affair,' with limited copies available for purchase onsite. #check23 #sema2022 #derordie #porsche #aircooled #motivation #motorsport #radical #trackday #tracklife #lifestyle #carphotography #takethecar #lowendontheroad #guestspot #check22 #checkeditout #Checkeditoutchicago #chicago #carparty #autobahncc #westernresidency #luft8 #luft9 (at Petersen Automotive Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpk2pD7JLli/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Western Residency continues mid month in Carefree, AZ. The slow road to @rennsportreunion It'll will be weird without the 3.2 Carrera at Check23, but the back from the dead 987 Cayman will have to do. Thanks to everyone who joined us at the swap on Sunday, powerful stuff. March 23rd we’re bringing Mr. @bartkuykens to @mpcars Fulton Market (rsvp in bio).

Inside and out, let @Doystermedia take you on a tour of Check22. Porsches from every angle is what Checkeditout photographers expect in new Chicago surroundings. We’re not trying to give anything away, but look for things to happen a bit earlier in 2023. After all, there is a big event, celebrating a bigger anniversary going down in late September. Porsche events deserve a little breathing room between each other. Will we see you in Monterey? @westmont_porsche @porschedowntownchicago @pcarmarket @autobahncc @mpcars @lowendgaragechicago @perillocollisioncenterchicago @rohannawheels @burdiclothing @alphagaragechicago @hagerty @roads.united @gdesignracing @flyjetout @barnabaautosport Mayer Tool & Engineering, Inc. @panorammacollectionllc @gearheadworkspace @furlanguitars @armandochacongroup @midwestautoshield @_futureclassic @mouse_motors #check22 #checkeditout #Checkeditoutchicago #chicago #carparty #PorscheRestorationChallenge22 #inspiredbyporsche #check23 (at West Loop, Chicago.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coux3sup1FM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@doystermedia did an incredible job capturing @checkeditoutchicago last year. Look for a big post to drop next week featuring Brandon Deuster's work. And there just might be some information/non-information included. We're intent on making the LA Lit & Toy Show, as you might have heard on SCR, TBD. ✌🏼 #check23 #sema2022 #derordie #porsche #aircooled #motivation #motorsport #radical #trackday #tracklife #lifestyle #carphotography #takethecar #lowendontheroad #guestspot #check22 #checkeditout #Checkeditoutchicago #chicago #carparty #autobahncc #westernresidency #iceracing #snowdriving #porschesdontmelt (at Alpha Garage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CofQ2yfLhl5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saturday was the start of another three event season for the Winter Autocross program at @roadamerica Driving the paddock is back, now making for three worthwhile, fun circuits. Due to lack of snow, we ran all seasons on the rear. The morning had icy conditions that were gone by the second session. The story of the day was 'throw those morning times away.' Everything heated up to favorable and fast as the day went on.

Could there be a better photo to sum up the holidays than the Grinch meeting the McLaren F1 LM as captured by @chitownexotics from our Toy Drive? The third annual ‘Toy Drive, Drive’ has already become a thing of legend, thanks to @mouse_motors bringing all the @mclaren heat to @burdiclothing Hinsdale. The morning started off great. The streets around @mpcars Fulton Market were loaded with cool rides. And for the second year, those of us that are part of @checkeditoutchicago had the pleasure of awarding the 2022 charitable check to @englewoodcrushers very deserving. Both Midwest Performance Cars and Burdi Clothing reached new heights with the amount of toys they gathered for the Marines this year. As stated above, this early December event has become legendary with the design for Hinsdale Ave that @crankcasecarrera created. Reading the comments over the last few weeks, we’ve seen that many were unaware of what we do or just missed out. Stay informed, follow our IG and sign up for our newsletter (lowendgarage.com). A big 2023 is on deck, promise. ✌🏼 #check23 #sema2022 #derordie #porsche #aircooled #motivation #motorsport #radical #trackday #tracklife #lifestyle #carphotography #takethecar #lowendontheroad #guestspot #check22 #checkeditout #Checkeditoutchicago #chicago #carparty #autobahncc #westernresidency (at Burdi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmelfS5Jfi4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thanks to you and everyone else in our community, together we created holiday magic on Saturday, December 3rd. The scene at Midwest Performance Cars (@mpcars) started off quiet and really cold. But it built up to have the blocks surrounding Fulton filled with cars. And those car owners loaded up the MPC shop truck with toys for the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation. (@marinetoysfortotsfoundation) MPC’s leader Andy Bizub wowed the full house inside his shop with his heartfelt introduction for our friends at Crushers Club (@englewoodcrushers). For the second year in a row, Checkeditout (@CheckeditoutChicago) has presented its chosen charity with their well deserved funds as part of this event. A new record of $11,000 was raised by the car community, Checkeditout and all the Checkeditout sponsors and donors. For the third time, Dan Cubric created a fun route for our trip to Burdi Clothing Hinsdale. Though it was hard to keep the cars together, everyone arrived at Burdi in style. Dan also did double duty, lending his Checkeditout design expertise to the car staging on Hinsdale Ave in front of Burdi. And what a display it was. Days later, photos are still rolling out of the array of McLaren F1s Mouse Motors (@mouse_motors) graced this event with. Portions of our record amount of toys have reached the Marines and to put it simply, they are really impressed with your efforts. Job well done, great time had by all, thank you for braving that harsh cold, and thank you for respecting your cold, hard tires! Thanks to Midwest Performance Cars, Burdi Clothing, Checkeditout Chicago, Napleton Westmont Porsche, Cars & Coffee Oak Park, Cold Brewed Cars & Coffee, New Lenox Cars and Coffee, Chitown Exotics Car Group, & Lincoln Common.
