Thanks for the updates Chris! So how do the bucket seats feel after sitting in them for 12hrs a day?

Love the updates and gotta love the hospitality from the TS crew. On another note, I saw a few Porsches being trailered up the 101 near SLO yesterday. Looks like people are already on their way up!

Are you sure the ass pain wasn't from one of the truckstops you stopped at?

U-Boats girlfriend are one of the prime reasons I hate Oklahoma so much... That and the fact that they don't have emissions testing for vehicles, so you see nothing but turds driving around.

Enjoy the drive, enjoying the thred so far!

Unless you MUST have heated seats, sport buckets are THE Porsche seat to have. Supremely comfortable, very supportive, car porn looks... WINNER!

So today was a great counterpoint to yesterday's extravaganza. We did Albuquerque to Phoenix, stopping in Gallup, NM and Flagstaff, AZ along the way. MUCH more relaxing and we are staying at a beautiful resort in Phoenix. We averaged 82 mph (including stops), 24.9 mpg, and drove 473 miles. Not too many pics today, but that's a good thing for us! Off to San Diego tomorrow...

Goodbye New Mexico



Crossing the Continental Divide



Ferdinand about to consume Winslow and Flagstaff



Ferdinand partying hard in Flagstaff (one of my favorite places in the whole US)



Just something I thought you unintentional dads might appreciate



Can't wait to actually drive my P-car in my home state! I'll try to get a lot of pics on the way. Thanks for looking!

Damn Chris! You were cruising! 82 MPH avg WITH breaks?? Glad to see you didn't run into any coppers.

Dude, no exaggeration, I saw exactly ZERO police on my side of I-40 all the way through New Mexico. Mid-90s all the way. Love it.

U-Boat's girl is shorter than I thought she'd be....
... last time I saw a pic of her she was on a scooter in a drive-thru


Chris awesome trip, just amazing, open it up good for us East Coasties ... I had to drive up to Wilmington, DE today, 36 hour COOP exercise for a Government ageny, no less than a good dozen cops with already people pulled over, traffic jam all the way up on I95 probably utilizing a a total of 50hp cruising at around 50 traffic allowing.

I hate this area for cops and traffic. Took me 3 hours to get from Leesburg to Baltimore last Friday
