• A man, a Porsche, the snow and skis on the roof. That’s how we choose to remember you, Robert Redford: free, graceful and true. 🎿 You taught us that cinema isn’t just entertainment, it’s awareness.

With Butch Cassidy, The Sting, Three Days of the Condor, The way we were, All the President's Men, you made us dream. With the Sundance Institute, you gave a voice to the unheard.

You remain eternal.

In the image of that 911 cutting through the winter.

In the silence of your gaze.

In the courage of the stories you chose to tell.

Goodbye, Bob. The world feels a little dimmer without you!

Checkeditout: The Chicago Porsche convergence is a rare opportunity for all Porsche models and enthusiasts to assemble within the city. Everyone can appreciate the marque’s legacy, represented in each owner’s pride and joy. It’s a sharing of stories, of road trips, restoration, racing – a moment collective that continues to define Porsche culture.

Last year three Chicago Porsche guys – John, Adam and Karsten – had an idea to create an urban minded Porsche gathering. In early 2018, Karsten passed away from cancer while his vision was merely an idea.

Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Karsten was a Porsche enthusiast known for his aquamarine blue Porsche 911. AKA the Chicago Outlaw, his classic Porsche also earned IG fame @Checkeditout, aptly named for his love of “checking out” cars. The handle was an ongoing joke between Karsten and his wife Claudia, who even had their own way of pronouncing it, “check-ED-it out.”

Checkeditout Chicago: is our opportunity to check out Porsches - just like our friend Karsten loved to do.
