Hi David,
Thanks for responding……your trip actually inspired mine…..when you took it and I read every post and thought it would be so cool to do that myself even at an advanced age!!:thumb up:
The only issue I had was at the end of the second day as I was approaching Naples….maybe 30 miles out I started to get very tired…..opened the windows (couldn't put the top down as I had a million things in the back).
When I got home I took a quick one hour nap and I was good to go…went out for something to eat and stopped in a bar for a nightcap and was just proud of myself and the car….she looked tired too but sweet and ready to go today after her clean-up!
I'm looking forward to the next 20 years…and maybe another adventure!

I'm honored to have been a part of the inspiration!
P.S. Advise to the wise: don't look forward to far and focus on the day at the beach!
P.S.S. Why don't your drive that beauty to Rennsport next October?!

I bought my 996 C4S from a private seller in San Bernadino, CA. I lived in Fort Wayne, IN at the time. I flew out to CA and completed the sale, then drove the car home over a two day stretch. It was a great way to get to know the car!

800 miles from Dallas to Denver when I purchased the car. Once I got the seat adjusted to my body it was as comfortable a long driver as the family Odyssey. What really made it special was having my then 7-year old son along. Those two days together changed our relationship. Priceless.

Porsche 911's make perfect road trip vehicles. I find the seats to be the most comfortable of any car I have owned.
I think every owner should pull the covers off of there cars and drive them. They won't melt.
