Default A few days in Yosemite

A perfect car for a trip to Yosemite!


Through the Sierra foothills


Old Priest Grade


Gimme more turns


Keep up the speed. A little drizzle won't bother us










Glad to have a fast getaway car

I was just there a few weeks ago. I had my family in a Kia. You are right, the roads are pretty great. We ended driving from Yosemite to Vegas, and there’s no quick and easy path through the mountains without having to go through some pretty awesome twisty roads.

You have the right car there for sure!

Looks excellent! I drove my 981 BS down the west coast when I first bought it and had a ton of fun on those twisty roads. I'm in Norway for about a year (cars are back home) and I'm stuck driving a Citroen DS3... it's crazy how much Yellowstone resembles southwest Norway and the roads here are just as twisty! Only difference is that I don't get to enjoy them as much in my little egg car

Ha! Just got back last week. Three days in the park and we only saw two other Porsches and all three of us were at Glacier point at the same time. Good times!

Very cool photo. Is that the face that Alex Honnold free-climbed up?
