With the smell of gasoline and the sound of revving engines, car enthusiasts filled Parking Lot 7 with donuts and coffee in hand, sharing their love of vintage and expensive cars.
Supercar Sunday is a sponsored event by Porsche Woodland Hills that has taken place at Pierce weekly, according to Supercar Sunday’s website. Porsche supplies vehicles to display at the event, however, it is welcome to all car enthusiasts and anyone wanting to show off their cars.
Zachary Irvine, a Porsche service supporter, shared his role at Porsche and the relationship Pierce and Supercar Sunday has.
“Pierce has been awesome for a long time. They’ve provided us with the facility to do this for many years and Porsche Woodland Hills has started sponsoring the event,” Irvine said. “We have new guys come all the time. This guy over there just brought a GT3 RS they bought last week, so everyone just comes.”
Supercar Sunday is not just for showing off expensive vehicles though. Irvine explains that when it comes to hosting these events, the priority is to bring all car lovers together.
“Whenever you have a community of people that’s extremely passionate about something, they need an outlet for it. I think that the biggest and most important aspect of what we do at Porsche Woodland Hills is providing that outlet,” Irvine said. “Whether it’s allowing people to buy the cars, servicing their cars, or throwing events like this, it’s a big deal for the community even if it’s for their selfish reasons.”
When it comes to the car community, car enthusiasts can learn more about their dream cars and gain insight on the upkeep and the way each vehicle works. Car enthusiasts Jerson and Huberto Ramirez shared they have found community and insight from other car enthusiasts.
“A lot of people are obviously proud of their cars, so you don’t have to ask them. Sometimes, if they’re standing by the car, they’ll come up to you and tell you, Hey, you like my car. So it’s pretty cool,” Jerson Ramirez said. “They give you more insight on more details, the drive, and things like that.”
Huberto Ramirez added the perspective that other car enthusiasts are very open and willing to help inform others.
“We went out to London for their Cars and Coffee there, and a lot of people that were there were giving information if you had questions on it,” Huberto Ramirez said
Supercar Sunday takes place weekly at Lot 7 at Pierce from 7 a.m. -10 a.m.
