Ramius.

i never miss a chance to take a break at that truck stop at least a few times each year.

you got to be very careful the minute you get over the bridge into Illinois.

wicked bad speed traps.

Awesome read and can't wait to get home so I can see the pics (can't view them on the work computer).

And I agree about Iowa (since I grew up there). As a cyclist and car enthusiast the state is great. Lots of winding, hilly country roads with a town every 15 miles. We just road tripped through the Ozarks and then to Iowa to visit family...in my son's Corvette.

Quick Update
Got to ModdedEverything951S's house and already changed the oil in both cars and helped him install his headers. Turns out he has a very expensive Porsche paperweight in his garage. Tomorrow we'll finish installing his rebuilt turbo, exhaust and intake to get him ready for Parade. I'll recap our trip through Wyoming and Utah too (Spoiler, Utah rules for driving I-80!).

Cool thread, cool trip... Enjoy SLC. Crown Burger is good, though I'm an In-N-Out guy myself....

I've been here since Saturday. Haven't seen any 944's yet. Saw several nice 968's.

I just came back to the hotel but I'll be by later to pickup my car. I'll come by to check you guys out.
