Actually Turo is half the price of Hertz. Here is a nice 991.2 for $99/day https://turo.com/rentals/cars/ca/san...rchId=DqM_h4b8

You're welcome anytime. Plan on a week minimum just to scratch the surface of the Bay Area. Lots more beyond that 8)

Nice picture, and it is great to see a freshly paved road-an unusual site here in CA. However, I just checked the weather there this afternoon- 17 Degrees F and snow...

This is the scene at my parents place, about 25 miles from where that picture was taken. All of this fell in the past 24 hours. So yeah, it may be a good time to postpone the road trip

I had meetings down in LA this week so took the long way home. Too good, just too good.

New 3rd radiator did its job. I was 225 most of the run through the mountains but was up to 240 on the initial ~4k foot climb in Los Padres.

Interesting on those temps. I've run that pretty hard, but never saw temps above 210.

2010 C4S PDK without the third radiator on a warm day with Joe on those roads ... 210 to 250F with the lower numbers on the downhill stretches. We were relatively spirited on stretches. I believe the GTS is an amazing car with unpublished side affects from the X51 package, but Joe does have the third radiator as well.

Joe - ive got +50lbs on you and -75hp :-)

Took me 20 minutes to get all the bugs out of the new radiator grills. It looked like a war zone.

We need to plan another trip down there. Just cant get enough.

The bugs do add alot of weight and take away aero
Next ride, id' love to be in.
Hit a tumble weed somewhere around these roads a couple years back, that took forever to remove from the grills/radiator. I didn't know they were so pokey.
Joe told me about the Rennline' screens, I've yet to do....
