Makes all of my other trips seem tame: Denver to SJ, Fort Collins to SJ, Wenatchee WA to SJ, and finally Salt Lake City to SJ (at least the last one was in my first Porsche).
I actually felt kind of bad when I found the C4 so close to home. No road trip! There is no better way to bond with, and begin to understand your new vehicle purchase.
Have a blast, and keep us updated on your progress. Also, if you can plan out your route, maybe some fellow Rennlisters can e-mail you with their home or cell phone numbers in case you have any "issues" in their territory?

OK, call me a bit naive... what's wrong with driving with a paper plate? I can't see how that marks you as an out-of-towner any more than the wrong CA plate, and the wrong CA plate may get you in some trouble, somewhere. Oh, and be careful with radar... its illegal in some states. Patrol cars will come up behind you, flip on the radar, and see if anything lights up in your car. Porsches have to be the number one target for this trick. Drive sanely. Just remeber... the faster you get back to Boise, the more time you have with your in-laws. That ought to slow you down some.

I used a paper plate after picking the car in IL. Did the 12+ hour drive with no incident at all. In fact, I kept my paper plate on for a few more weeks as I was taking my time to get it registered.

My 993 story starts in Phoenix AZ where I loaded the car in the back of a huge Ryder truck, strapped it down and drove straight thru (no hotels) to Southern Ohio. I about froze to death on Friday night somewhere near Albequerqe(?) NM but made it home sometime on Sunday afternoon. It wasn't driving the P-car unfortunately (I bought it wrecked) but it was quite the adventure. BTW, headed to Dallas to pick up a BMW for the wife next week and will be driving it back to Ohio.
