Default Bringing her home
I'm picking up my 13 CPO C4S this Saturday from Danbury Porsche and driving her straight back to Chicago. Any last minute words of wisdom from my fellow Rennlisters?

I assume the car is already fitted with winter tires?

Well, no. I have them in transit to Chicago. Weather is called for high 40s so while not ideal, I am hopeful that with careful driving, I'll be able to get home safely.

Drive carefully and enjoy learning about your car!!

Just drove min 820 miles home and found out the hard way there was rare snow at 2,000 feet in Oregon!

Thanks. I plan on being careful. Thanks to the El Nino, it's very warm in the Great Lakes region!

Congrats! V1, and Waze kept me from any unplanned stops, on the almost 1500 mile drive from TX to NC, last week. Just be careful, and give trucks lots of space.
