My 914 departed Tampa, FL early yesterday morning, bound for Monterrey, CA 2727 miles away.
The plan is for my dad and one of his buddies (Chris) to drive there this week. I am going to fly out to meet them on Thursday. Driving back Sunday afternoon. Plans have been developed for the last year, but of course are subject to the car's temperament! Chris is a real gadget guy. He wanted no less than three GPS's for the trip. Dad prefers his Triple A road maps. They compromised on two GPS's (one for driver, one for navigator), a phone mount, a dash cam, and the Triple A maps for backup. Chris made up a nice mount for the GPS and phones, plus power ports for all of the above devices. It slides right into the ashtray mount. |

They are planning on doing 935 miles today. The itinerary has them at Lumberyard Brewing Company in Flagstaff, AZ for dinner tonight.
The caption for this one was "Not this time JW" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) SOT here is Chris' 951 at RRIII in Daytona. I remember riding in the backseat for one of the parade laps. As soon as we hit triple digits coming around the banking, the intake hose on the turbo popped off. No big deal, just needed to tighten down the hose clamp. But this was while pulled over on the front straight of Daytona International Speedway! It has not ran for a few years now. In true teener fashion I helped him put it on jack stands a few months ago, and it hasn't been touched since. So this is why they had to take my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Bonus 914 content in that one. I'm told that's Steve Gaglione's famous Sierra Biege car in the background. Driving through the windmills and oil rigs now. |
