Thanks brother, if I have to look at one more map or Topo chart I'll lose my damn mind. Need about 2 days of doing nothing and driving around to revive my soul.

That is why I'm not nuts about the Dragon during high traffic times. Dawn is best.

I’ll take a look at @damage98MO route on Monday and yes I agree with everyone that an early ride is better for all parties.

Bonus with this color, to'say it in German' meridian metallic.
'sag es auf deutsch' meridian metallic.
Just pronounce it like you are Hans Landa

My car
I'm told the meridian metallic is a tinted neutral with red undertones. It is kind of reddish or something at times in the sun. I might try a flat pale red color Carrera decal in place of the black at some point. And Carrera red wheels? In tribute to the 1973 RS.

Has anyone made hotel reservations for the “Dragon run” yet, just wondering where majority of the 996 group are staying and if there is a consensus as to time and place for meet and greet.

I traded my 991 and my 996 is not a street car anymore, so I am now out. Hope you all have a good time.

Some of us are doing an AirBnb probably, I’m letting @Justin76 figure that out because he’s local.
