Voices · the chapter, in their own words
I joined for the drives, stayed for the people who answer the phone when I have a coolant question at 9pm.

My first meet, somebody walked me through how to bleed the brakes on a 944 in the parking lot. That was twenty years ago. Still here.

The chapter never asked what kind of car I had before they invited me to the spring tour. That mattered.

Est. 1961.
Cascade was chartered the same month Roger Maris hit his sixty-first home run. Members have been driving the same mountain passes, parking at the same coffee shops, and arguing about the same air-cooled questions ever since.
der Auspuff
The chapter newsletter, quarterly since 1961.
Drive recaps, member spotlights, technical deep-dives, and the calendar pulled from the chapter's longest-running publication. We will not flood your inbox - the newsletter ships four times a year.
