Thanks Dan, that's just what I needed. That doesn't look like Nebraska.

The weather here was actually nice today. 40 degrees.
I had an opportunity to take the car out for a nice long
drive. It's filthy dirty now, however, it felt great.
I love these 911's.

There's no traffic in California--if you stay out of LA!

Great drive, once I heard a nice blip on downshift, nicely done.

I hope you keep your hands at 3&9 while tracking though, although this is THE ONLY CAR that I can drive by one hand at the bottom when crusing around, basically you can guide the direction with one finger!

Was there a cop behind you?

Nice reminder, I forgot about those kinds of roads thanks.

That's just always the way I have driven Porsches! I'm sure my oil consumption is due to that!
