Checkeditout: The Chicago Porsche convergence is a rare opportunity for all Porsche models and enthusiasts to assemble within the city. Everyone can appreciate the marque’s legacy, represented in each owner’s pride and joy. It’s a sharing of stories, of road trips, restoration, racing – a moment collective that continues to define Porsche culture.
Last year three Chicago Porsche guys – John, Adam and Karsten – had an idea to create an urban minded Porsche gathering. In early 2018, Karsten passed away from cancer while his vision was merely an idea.
Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Karsten was a Porsche enthusiast known for his aquamarine blue Porsche 911. AKA the Chicago Outlaw, his classic Porsche also earned IG fame @Checkeditout, aptly named for his love of “checking out” cars. The handle was an ongoing joke between Karsten and his wife Claudia, who even had their own way of pronouncing it, “check-ED-it out.”
Checkeditout Chicago: is our opportunity to check out Porsches - just like our friend Karsten loved to do.
