Hello everyone!

In Hampstead, Maryland, Carroll County, you will find “Ralphs.”

Ralph’s is the longest continuously operating Porsche service center in North America! Think about it. In 1971, Ralph decided to leave the service department of a Porsche dealership and start his own business.

Fast forward to 2024 and Ralph is still at it. And has now teamed up with legendary racing champion Chuck Goldsbourgh of Baltimore. Thanks to Ralph’s reputation and Chuck’s contacts, Porsche owners from all over the country and the world are flocking to the shop. See the red one in the middle of the picture? It was shipped by its owner from Hong Kong to be repaired and sold. Sold for A LOT OF MONEY!

Just another example of what I like to say: We found something amazing for you in our own backyard.

We want to thank Ralph Simmers and Chuck for their hospitality this morning and for giving our audience the chance to say, “Wow, I didn’t know that!!

But one more thing before we finish. The car is pronounced PORSCHE. The “e” is pronounced “eh!” Not just PORSCH. The inventor’s last name is PORSCHE. It might be the most mispronounced name by lay observers in all of auto racing. Me included.

Marty B!
