This Super-Secret White Porsche Collection Has To Be Seen To Be Believed

This is what heaven must look like to Porsche enthusiasts.

Tucked away in a top-secret location somewhere in the US is hands-down one of the most impressive collection of low-mileage Porsches on the planet. As you’ll see in the video uploaded by Porsche Club of America, what immediately makes this exquisite collection unique is that everything is white. All the cars are white, the building is white, the walls are white, the floors are white, and even the furniture is, you guessed it, white. For passionate Porsche enthusiasts, this is what heaven must like.

Porsche Club of America describes it as one of the largest and most secretive Porsche collections in the world. Anyone who enters the building must either wear socks to walk on the white floor, or cover shoes in protective white booties before granted entry. Cell phones also aren’t permitted – you’ll be asked to drop it in a bucket, which, naturally, is also white.

In total, the White Collection includes 65 pristine Porsches spanning every generation, but that number is “constantly changing and usually going up.”. Among the highlights in the collection include the groundbreaking 959 that fought the Ferrari F40, as well as the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder, which represent the fastest supercars Porsche has ever made. The evolution of the 911 is also well-represented, ranging from 911 RS models from the 1970s, to the last air-cooled model in 1996, right up to the latest 911 GT3 RS.

Head upstairs, and you’ll find an extensive library of Porsche documents including original parts lists and workshop manuals. There’s also an impressive collection of Porsche memorabilia on the same floor such as 1950s luggage sets, wine bottles, bicycles, posters, and clothing.

The garage even functions as a living quarters. In the video, caretaker Carl Bauer says he lives there for three weeks maintaining the collection. Just imagine waking up to the heavenly sight of 65 gleaming white Porsches every day.

Meth Dealer Named 'White' Buys New Acura NSX With Stolen Credit Card

Something sounds familiar here.

Sometimes fiction has a way of becoming non-fiction, and that’s not always a good thing. The Drive learned from DNAInfo reports that an accused meth dealer with the last name "White" was arraigned in a Brooklyn, New York court last week for allegedly using stolen ID and credit card information to buy a brand new 2017 Acura NSX for himself as a birthday present. No, it wasn’t Walter White. He’s fictional. But meet Brian White, 45, from Queens. So how did Mr. Brian White get caught spending $240,000 of someone else’s money/credit? Facial recognition.

You see, the identify theft victim, whose name remains unknown, learned about the purchase a few weeks after it happened. When he received paperwork in the mail about it he immediately contacted the dealership which sold the car. Local authorities and the FBI, and federal prosecutors teamed up. Their combined effort resulted in capturing White by using a surveillance photo of him from the dealership. That photo was then run through a facial recognition system. White, who also goes by the alias Felipe Segundo, just so happened to get busted last April and charged with dealing methamphetamine.

And now White’s been arrested again and now faces 17 counts of grand larceny and identity theft due to his Acura NSX purchase. And this White guy is tough; he just rejected a plea deal that would have seen him go to prison for two to six years. Somehow, in some other world, he thinks he’s innocent.
