My Passion for Speed and Empowerment
I'm Stefania Buckley, known as @pnwporschegal. I was born in Naples, Italy, and moved to the United States at nine, experiencing a household where speaking both English and Italian was natural. My love for speed and elegance started early with my first sports scar—a red 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 gifted by my father during high school.
Embracing the Porsche Passion
Driven by a fascination for sporty cars with manual transmissions, I've journeyed through several iconic vehicles, including a red 1992 Mazda Miata and two Alfa Spiders. My Porsche journey began 15 years ago, ignited by my late father-in-law's deep love for cars. This led me to immerse myself in local car events and become a part of the Porsche Club of America (PCA).
Honoring a Legacy
I'm committed to carrying forward my late father-in-law Jim Buckley's legacy, a passionate Porsche enthusiast. My aim is to unite like-minded women within the community, fostering shared interests, passion, and friendships. Behind the wheel, I navigate my world with a 2011 Porsche Cayenne S and a sentimental 1978 Porsche 911 SC (#92), the last air-cooled car owned by my father-in-law.
Empowering Women in Porsche
My mission is to expand and empower the community of Women in Porsche in the Pacific Northwest (WIP). I invite women to explore the limitless possibilities within the Porsche community, emphasizing camaraderie and enjoyment.
