Would be be a great career for someone who loves Porsches!

Now is a good time to get into it, if you were a young man looking for your way. Many of the mechanics who came up in the 70s are aging out, my mechanic is in his mid-60s and slowing down. Many of these guys would love to have someone carry the business for the next 10-20 years. You would learn skills from guys who learned them when the cars were new and once many of these guys retire you can set your prices. I think of Jeff Adams in CT. He started working at KAM as a young guy, learning from Gerry McCarthy, who learned 4-cam's at the Porsche Carrera School. Gerry is no longer with us, but Jeff is going strong, he's a little older than me, probably edging toward 50. He has more work than he can handle, being one of the few guys left who really knows those engines. This is an extreme example but as time goes on the same principle will apply, a young guy who knows Porsches will be able to set his prices where he can do very well for himself. But now is the time, learn from the old guys, before they are gone.

Jeff is 2nd from left in this picture.
