Default Mini-Roadtrip pix: 3,015 miles in 7 days CA>NV>UT>ID>MT>Yellowstone

I wanted to find out if my past 2 years of DIY maint on our daily-driver 97 Tiptronic Coupe were performed properly so Capt. Liyin and me took it for a 3K drive. I did earn my 2 bottles of Madeira if I may say so myself. These pix are hot off the USB cable: got home yesterday. We left w/ 78,xxx on the clock and returned with 81,xxx. Best mod ever

[LEGAL DISCLAIMER] FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS TRIP IN YOUR 993 (unless your name is Terry Adams).

Here's the album link for those who want to see all 63 pix, guest password is 97993:

Great trip, Dan. Your car loves you for this. From the pic, it seems your wife had a good time too.

That's awesome. I think it's a shame that so many of these cars spend their lives traveling only a few miles at a time when they're such a pleasure to take long distances. I've often dreamed of doing a similar trip one of these days.

The P-car is really a living, breathing being which responds to attention and neglect much like its biological counterparts. We are very lucky to have gained this understanding, which is multiplied by a co-pilot who also understands.
