Girls Getaway to Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta

Two red Porsche cars outside building.

What is better than getting away for a weekend? It is getting away with girlfriends to enjoy an experience like no other.  Hop on a plane and head directly to Atlanta Georgia. The fun starts when you land and realize you are less than a 15  min ride to enjoy speed like no other at Porsche Experience Center, I was able to be part of this occasion with A Girls Guide to Cars for their 2nd annual Conference.

Did you know that this is the first automotive experience center to open in North America?  Besides being able to get behind the wheel of their amazing fleet you can be submerged in the history of Porsche.

The Porsche Experience Center is like no other. My jaw literally dropped as when entered the facility. This once in a lifetime experience started with lunch at Restuarant 365 the ultimate in fine dining

 

5 Reasons to Visit the Porsche Experience Center

1. Step out of your comfort zone and drive a vehicle like no other. I was able to get behind the wheel of the Porsche 911 and fell in love with the sleek design and of course the speed.

2. The perfect place for team building experiences.  A little friendly competition never hurt anyone. The simulators allow up to 6 drivers to compete against each other.  Don’t worry if you crash no will get hurt.

3. The instructors are amazing. They want you to become a better driver and will help you along the way.  From the moment you sit in the driver’s seat, they want to know what you want to get out of the time on the development track.  I get a little motion sick, so my fear was too many spins. No worries, he took that into consideration and the afternoon I had was a total success.

4. The food – Let’s just say having lunch at Restuarant 356 would be enough just to go for a visit.  The view of the driver development track gets you psyched for what awaits you.

5. The Experience of being on the development track is like no other.  It certainly does help you become a better driver, it isn’t always about speed (though it is fun to put the pedal to the metal)

Driver Development Track

  • The track consists of six driving modules:
    • Handling Circuit: A 1.6-mile handling course designed to mimic winding country roads with a number of corners and undulations. Here, a driver will learn the finer points on choosing the correct path when negotiating the curves and proper application of accelerating and braking techniques.
    • Kick Plate: Tests vehicle control skills when encountering a skid or spin. The kick-plate is a flush-mounted, hydraulically actuated plate placed before a wetted epoxy surface. As a vehicle travels over the plate at a safe rate of speed, sensors move the plate randomly left or right to mimic sliding that might occur during inclement weather conditions.

Car navigating wet track

    • Off-Road Course: Features 21 different off-road obstacles including a 1.1 ratio hill climb and a 45-degree vertical descent challenge to demonstrate the expansive capabilities of a Cayenne’s off-road engineering and safety technology.Porsche SUV off-roading
  • Porsche SUV driving down steep incline

    • Dynamics Area
      : Tests the speed, agility and lane-change performance on a large asphalt pad designed to simulate unique maneuvers you may encounter during your daily driving.

Porsche Experience Center driving course

    • Low-Friction Circle: Provides over-steer capabilities of a Porsche vehicle at the low-friction circle with uniform inward slope and the polished concrete surface.
    • Low-Friction Handling: A similar polished concrete surface as the Low-Friction Circle, except it introduces a series of unique, tight curves, with a mixture of various radius types on-and-off camber corners.

 

You too can plan your next adventure or give the gift or heading to Atlanta to be Queen of the road.

The venue includes a Heritage Gallery, Classic Factory Restoration Workshop, and the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur – Personal Design Studio. Rounding out the experience center is a Driving Simulator Lab, the Porsche Retail Store, Business Center

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
