Default How far will Rock Make it??

So my new pal Rock is making the drive from Ashburn VA to Panama City Fla this weekend in his 951. It's a 1,003 mile treck each way.

So the question is how far will he make it?

EDIT: The car is a fresh rebuild, with a couple small kinks being worked out.

I say he makes it because he's running my fuel rail and Kumhos. That's got to be worth 1000 miles. I don't know about the trip home.

Well, it is Rock. A "kink" could be a LOT of things. Are we asking if he makes it round trip w/no problems or are we allowing for some and calling it his luck?

depends on ...

is the nose panel secure?

Is the hood latch in place?

wheel bearings not falling out?

Is there any coolant leaking out faster than you can put it in?

Sunroof panel installed correctly?

seats bolted in?

As a firm believer in Karma, all I will do is wish Rock Good Luck!!

As a realist I hope Rock packed a tent and clothes for all weather conditions.

As a wisenheimer I must ask the origianl poster if stops and searches are included in the poll?

Depends on if the hood stays on................

All joking aside, I hope he has a nice trip.

I'll vote that he'll make it there. Then he'll try to do a donut on the beach, hit a sign, and get it lodged under the car - possibly putting a hole in the gas tank.

Rock - have a safe trip. Take pictures.

The more appropriate question is how many road signs will suffer an untimely death at his hands. . .
