Default Windows down sunroof open

Perfect 70 degree clear and sunny day here. Decided to take a break from playing remodeling contractor and detail the C2. Then off for a glorious ride with the windows down and sunroof open. With the car running perfectly and the PSE singing I felt as if I was in heaven for a bit and was clearly reminded of why I enjoy these cars so very much.

And now I am pretty confident that I will exercise the C4S next month and take the road trip to NC to take in the Porsche by Design exhibit. Just sounds like a great excuse to drive and my wife is acting like it actually makes sense for me to do it. Permission is always better than forgiveness.

When you are enjoying the ride it is hard to be concerned about potential problems and depreciating values. Getting to drive is all the value I need.

No - I am in Pennsylvania - but I did talk to a friend of mine in Lakeland this morning. Have you selected a date for the trip?

I love windows down/sunroof open. Until you get the roof transport system on, the wind is totally manageable in the cabin. With the rack on, it's like a hurricane in the car. Still a great feeling IMO.
