thank you. i couldn't agree more. The only limitation is the amount of things you can fit inside, which can become a problem when you bring your comfortable camping gear along. Wow 6000 miles, I can't even imagine! I will say that one thing that really surprised me on this trip is that i did not get uncomfortable in the seat at all. Typically after a few hours I will need to shift my body at least a little bit to stay comfortable, but the 911 seat seems to be designed just right.

YaHoo!

Great trip and pictures vagluv. I want to go on a serious road trip in my 964 now!

Next week I'll join my Dad and brother in the Ozarks of Arkanasas to drive some of the awesome roads there at Porsche Palooza! Then my Dad and I will fly to San Diego to pick up my new 964 (found one finally) and drive up the CA coast together. Not near as sensational as your trip but should be a good little teaser.

Always love a great road trip. I enjoyed looking at all your pictures. Reminded me of my trip from Miami to Seattle

great trip!! I've driven my 964 between Atlanta and upstate New York and I've come to the same conclusion, comfortable, fun and memorable!

Really love driving the 964 over great distances and totally agree about getting it dirty!

So what's the story with the upside down speedo?

Great trip report vagluv! I grew up in Mid TN area and this time of hear always makes me pine for the fall colors. This just makes me want to load up and drive even more.

I guess I need to look into Porsche Palooza. I didn't realize it was that close to me. That sounds like a lot of fun though! I would love to have my 964 on the Cali coast, and am seriously thinking about trailering it out there for Monterey Car week next fall.



These cars were just meant for driving.

Momo wheel is smaller diameter than stock and it blocks the important parts of the speedo when it is right side up. Rotating allows me to see 20-140 or so.

Thanks! I had never seen them, and I certainly didn't catch them just right, but they were great none the less. Lots of gold, orange, and a little red too.

I've pulled back into the garage many times after having driven the car for hours and just felt great... ready for more actually.

Thanks for sharing your adventure. I'm sure the sight of that red car made a lot of peoples day. Did you every see any other 964s on the highway?

Awesome trip Sir! Glad to see Lufteknic got you right in and on your way. That Route 72 in West Virginia looks like it was a blast! Thanks for sharing the photos and your experience

vagluv

Man, it really seemed to. Young and old alike. What a contrast from here in Dallas where no one pays any attention. Maybe it's something to do with there being more classic/exotic cars in this area. I didn't see any other 964s, I did see one 993, a 911, and just a few newer p cars.

vagluv

Yeah I cannot say enough good things about those guys. To top off the quick repair, the price was more than fair, which made the sting of an emergency repair a little better. 72 was very fun, and very rural. Lots of deer on that road, and at one point one was running next to the car. Luckily I was anticipating it to dart in front of the car, because thats exactly what it did. There is actually a youtube video of that road where a bear cub runs across the road.

Epic! Thanks for sharing. I'd like to do this one day in mine!

Awesome write up! Mechanical issues are part of the adventure, and it is great you found reliable help along the way. Thanks for taking us along!!

Only thing I regret is not having a clear bra installed after my paint work last year. I know I said you gotta get some rock chips on there, but after looking more closely, I really did get a lot of them. Good thing hood resprays are pretty cheap!

Thanks Tom! I was very glad to find those guys at Lufteknic. I am almost certain I will be renting a truck and trailer to take the car out to central cali next year for pebble beach festivities and the werks reunion.
