And YES, I know if I don't post pictures it didn't happen:

:-)

But anyway, I am flying to Tampa tomorrow and will be driving my new to me 1987 911 Coupe home to the ATL. Pics and journey recap to follow.

Good luck. Hopefully, all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

Doyle- it is my first. I did a ton of research and decided on an 87-89. I was prepared to wait and walk and take a long time to buy one, but this one seemed ideal and passed the PPI with flying colors. I should be on the road from Tampa around noon or so and it is 7-8 hours to ATL.

Tampa to Atlanta should be a nice drive...watch out for the snow birds in FLA, I've already had my close calls with ours here in Az.
Luck!

Watch out for frikin' road debris around the damned interstate construction areas, when going through Macon,......only a few weeks ago, my sweetie was peppered with chunks of metal that was lying in the road,..all shapes/sizes,.....gonna end up having to repaint the entire car......

THAT will frik your day up (ask me how I know)..........

Well, he should be a little over 1/2 way by now...will be listening out.....I'm quite eager to see your (home) post later this evening!

BEST!

Doyle

Default Congrats
Enjoy every minute of it!
I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now; it was shipped down from Pennsylvania, and I love it.
