Default How many are you driving your 951 to 944fest?

First I'm curious who from Canada is going to 944fest? So far, I don't know anyone. My route is approx 300 miles one way, and 300 miles back. I'm not sure yet if i want to take my car. it's just been fixed up, but i'm unsure about driving it 5 hrs almost non-stop both ways.

Not from canada, but I'll be driving 5hrs in my 951 to get to the fest (gotta take a 2hr detour to pick up the gf). I'd say go for it! There will be plenty of people that could help fix it if something went wrong

Her hospital stay has wiped out Hershey, 2 GTGs, and the Fest for me this year... Last year it was car broken... I knew she wasn't fond of my cars, but damn, shut up in the Hospital is going a bit far isn't it... She laughs when I say that to her...

My car is offline at the moment, otherwise I'd drive it the 1200 mile round trip.

Possible change of plans at work... I may drive overnight on Thursday night if I can get the car fixed in time... It's about 600 miles each way.
