Background

Air|Water arose from the highly successful celebration of air-cooled Porsches, Luftgekühlt (air-cooled in German). Event founders Howie Idleson (Marketing) and Patrick Long (Vehicles), started this next-level car show experience with the first gathering in 2014. Maybe a few dozen cars and 100 people showed up.
