Only on kermit!
Correct. We decided to get into the car bra, protective film industry and this was our first job. Pretty good eh
>?
BLUEFIN is good my friend. I like it. And it's just protection for the paint to get us there...
We promise to give someone a prize for the best name if we use it
Correct!
Haha.... I know but it's hard to love that girl.
We thought about just calling it Steve but then it's something I'd name my gold fish too
ROFL!
Aye that one's avail too...
If she was a GT3RS Cabriolet maybe!
Sorry Richie indeed we're in NM alrady! Sorry to miss u!
ROFL but that was our first attempt! It looks fantastiche in super bright light (especially if the sun is directly in your eyes) and from about 20 feet away...
ED is in my future. No kidding. I will do it. Hey she's all yours! You won't notice the difference except for the LWF and an even bigger wing that blocks even more rear view....
It almost did snow but we managed to motor on throw the rain and avoid it! Phew... We'll be posting more updates shortly of our escapades through Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Missouri shortl!
Glad you got the t-shirt!

Alex, Alex, Alex, you *know* why you need ED ... I'm afraid now that I will have to confiscate the car from you when it arrives... you know the rules!
please have the DMV docs and keys ready, I dont want this to be any more painful for you than it has to be!
p.s
strongly suggest SW does not get into the wrapping business ... based upon your "handiwork" above!

Day Two: 800 miles & four states later…
If there are two things that stand out for me today:
1) Who needs European Delivery when you have Route 66?
2) Covering some 800+ miles, four states, many different quality of roads this MK2 RS is one helluva road car. There can’t be many cars capable of so much yet are able to do so with such ease and comfort. It’s no caddy but she glides along…
The heavy rain shower from the night before took its toll on our stunning SharkWerks Satin Blue Paint Protection Film Wrap Technology TM. Here’s Sharky making a few take-two style adjustments and corrections.
No words necessary.
Off we go and in the middle of an Oklahoman Porsche meet!
Oklahoma this time of year had trees galore of all different colors. The North American Amazon! We stopped at a Cherokee Trading post. It had Indians. Real ones!
There was a big sign warning us that this was the last Mickey D’s in the entire State!
There are a few issues with this type of paint protection. The marquee is no longer visible. Another wardrobe malfunction. No Porsche dealership for miles so we did what we could:
There’s no way 5’9-Dan is this tall in real life. The car isn’t this short either.
You don’t see these factory-blue seat pass throughs every day. Neither do we sitting and facing forwards. They kind of sort of work. They just do.
Another rest stop and another old school Le Mans-style driver change:
Next up was Texas.
We wouldn’t have it any other way:
We decided to pull over and get ourselves kitted out properly with a hood ornament to help make some friends. It was getting dark so we tested the day-time running lights.
Just one of many rest stops in Texas:
She’s a looker:
We also hit 1000 miles on the Odometer and hence began to give her some real welly (see video). As fun as this was, I know we have some work ahead of us with the throttle settings. There’s room on the table. It was neat to hear our exhaust again on the 3.8 engine with a LWF. You also really notice the intake howl more than on cars with the 996GT3 style intake (997.1GT3, RS and 997.2GT3). The 4.0 and the conical intakes likely make even more.
All those high revs meant we needed gas. We thought we’d go off the reservation a bit and find something better than 91 octane but clearly we came by a few years too late. Skynet and the Terminators had already taken over the world and “Judgement Day” had come and gone. At least someone left a couch for us to rest on.
Finally we did find a station with premium fuel. I have no comment on the 86 octane. That’s not even fit for adding to a protein shake. Great timing also as we had a driver change and Dan was lucky enough to drive the properly broken-in RS with said 90-octane. He was forced to baby it on his stint and will complain about it for many years to come. This is the first and I guarantee will be the last time that Pische-for-gas sees the inside of this car.
Texas lasts forever and being a navigator you get to play with the Sporty Chrono and XM radio:
At least he was treated tot a Texas-style sunset.
In a desert devoid of civilization there was a sign and Texas decided to help cheer up Dan once again. This seems like a good place to visit from dusk till dawn.
Near the Texas and New Mexico border we had to stop for bathroom break. Good thing we did too. Take your boots off before entering:
Don’t forget to wash your hands either. Our thicker optioned alcantara wheel appreciates it:
New Mexico was next. We wanted to try and blend in here as well:
Not that New Mexico is boring but if we could teleport ourselves and this car anywhere it would be here:
Still on Route 66 we couldn’t find a place to settle down for the night. This one seemed ok but the parking was sketchy.
Tomorrow we’re hoping to continue through New Mexico and Arizona and catch the odd UFO or two.
