It wasn't today, but over the weekend I drove from NC up to Philly to attend RADwood Philly 2022 (delayed from 2020).

I took the long way up, driving Route 15 almost the entire way, and then came back on I-95. 15 was very scenic and very slow, but a nice drive. I-95 is a disaster, with horrific pavement and traffic. I did stop for a nice lunch in Leesburg, VA on the drive north, and for a visit to the (relatively) new National Museum of the United States Army near Ft. Belvoir on the way back home. The museum chronicles the history of the Army and it's citizen-soldiers from the earliest days of the Revolution through today. Really a fantastic museum and very well done, IMO.

The 993 got about 25 mpg for the trip despite temps in the mid-90's, two people in the car with luggage, and endless stop and go traffic. All the while the AC did a surprisingly good job keeping things cool and the oil temp never went above the first mark on the gauge. It made for an excellent weekend road trip.

RADwood Philly. Many cool cars in attendance.

Cobra King. THE first tank to enter Bastogne in relief of the 101st Airborne.

KTubby ^ Looks like the car is coming along nicely. I like the RMiller banner with Corrado and MK2 GTI.

Thanks! The Corrado is actually a widebody all metal one-off (by the owner Ryan). Complete S4 Driveline with S4 dash as well.. Thing is insane!

Beauty! I hope to see it around this season.

If you are ever letting it go, reach out! Local enthusiast here with a few air and water cooled.

Thanks SToronto.... and everyone else for their "Likes!"
I just got the car after months of looking. Title was still on the original owner.
These people brokered the car for him... here is the link to the car -I think it still works

Nice! Remind me of the B5 S4 I had back in 2001. Still missing that car…😔

This also reminds me of a V8 B6 S4 I got to drive while my 84' Carrera was in the shop. The shop's owner let me take it as a loaner, it was a fantastic performer. I was very tempted to trade for it when the 911 was done.

A few interior pics. It was an owner supplied sample colour. It's a very light grey.
