If that's what it takes to get a ride in your 993 / Spyder this time, I'll be there
Speaking of nice cars driving around Monterey:

Great shots Jaeger, thanks for pointing me to this! Werks was a fun day, but it's about all I was able to swing there this year. Well, there was the 90 minute jaunt from Carmel to San Luis O down Hwy 1 veeerrrry early on that Saturday. Once in a blue moon opportunity.

The photo on Pete Stout's editor's column in the Sept Panorama also had a pic with Sapphire almost in the center!

We have a plan…most likely bringing the 993 UNLESS I get this early 911 with a killer engine...

My favorite drive in the USA…especially when there is light traffic.

+3. Got to get out early before the rental RV's clog up the road. Leaving Carmel while it's still dark is best. Last year I left way too late, around noon-ish. The good news was I finally got to do some sight seeing

I passed exactly 1 RV and 1 car the entire way. It was a treat. The 101 South of Santa Barbara was another story.

And the crazy thing at Parade this year on a Friday we did the tour that went inland to Paso Robles, then back with a stop at Hearst Castle. We got done early with the tour and lunch and decided to head back north on our own. Temps in the 70's and only has to pass maybe 4 times till near Monterey…just epic. Going south was ugly.

No worries, Ed. Happy to see you & Brian -- your timing was perfect pulling up for dinner & scoring parking slots.
