Default I did it!!

Drove my 87 targa from florida to north carolina and did the tail of the dragon all I can say this is what these cars are ment to do I have owned 2 other porsches and have had this one five years and never knew it could like this Any body who owns a Porsche has to do this I went with the PCA region out of Charleston and was welcomed like a brother. By the way went 2k miles in a 20year old sports car with no problems and my girlfriend said she was impressed on how comfortable the ride was.

Congrats!

I recently drove from RI to Kissimmee FL, then back again, and the entire trip back I was really wishing I'd been able to bring the 911 Cab instead of the minivan.

Absolutely, that is what a Porsche was built for. There's some great roads if you're willing to put miles on your car all the way up from North Georgia to Maine. The TOD is of course one of the best. I was also impressed with some of the roads in Western PA (from Pittsburgh east to about Hershey) along the Susquahanna (sp?) river.

Similar story: My first drive was a 1,000 mile trip to Michigan on M-22 along the coast for a camping trip. We stuffed 2 sleeping bags, a tent, 2 chairs, 2 backpacks, 4 pairs of shoes, 2 carry-on-sized luggages, 2 coolers, an air mattress with electric pump, a propane grill, flashlights, and 2 cases of beer in the car. Plenty of room. 25 mpg on the highway.

After the trip, the fiancee remarked that no other seats were as comfortable.
