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. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Judging by the max speed on the GPS they are keeping it well over 80. Maybe having a little too much fun. About to enter Sherif Buford T. Justice's jurisdiction. Not bad for a stock 1.8 on flat ground hauling a pair of fat asses. |

Forgive them they are not real teeners and have been shamed as such. They live vicariously through me. They said with some of Chris' family in Texas yesterday night. I think they had a little bit too much to drink because they got a late start this morning. Here they are filling up at world famous Buc-ees. Used one of 100 pumps. Definitely in Texas. This was the stable mate for the night. |
