Cool 993 Road Trip: St. Louis--Indy--Chicago--Kansas City

I have an upcoming business trip/wedding this week. After putting a couple new rear tires on my 993 last weekend I cancelled my airfare (SWA fully refundable) and rental car and decided to drive.
  • Leave for St. Louis this afternoon
  • Spend Thursday and Friday morning in Indy
  • Hang out in downtown Chicago Friday afternoon and night
  • Attend a wedding in Bloomington, IL Saturday night
  • Arrive back home in KC Sunday
Google maps indicates my big midwestern triangle to be about 1200 miles.

I fly all over the US with my job. So I can't wait to throw a duffle bag under the bonnet and leave for this one. No freakin' security checks.

Here is one for you Cacti'. 80K miles and counting.

Of course it's a picture of my friends car.

I would never attempt something so foolish even if I were on the road to nowhere* in central Indiana.

I am truly offended that you would post a picture showing such disregard for the law of the land and the safety of others. Shame.
